Tottenham Hotspur got back to winning ways on Sunday afternoon, beating West Bromwich Albion 2-0.

Spurs were looking to hit back having lost against Liverpool, Brighton and Chelsea in their previous three Premier League outings, and did so in style – eventually.

Jose Mourinho’s men were superb in the first half, creating a whole host of chances without being able to beat Sam Johnstone in goal.

The opener did come in the second half as Harry Kane slotted home Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s pass, with Son Heung-min then adding a second.

Lucas Moura went on a driving run through the middle before releasing the pass at the perfect moment, allowing Son to score.

Moura was given a rare start in a number 10 role, operating behind Harry Kane – and he turned in a strong performance.
