Nuno Espirito Santo started his tenure as Tottenham Hotspur manager with a 1-0 win over 2020-21 Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday.
Harry Kane, who has been linked with a move to City, wasn’t in the squad for the match.
Son Heung-Min scored the game’s only goal in the second half after a strong counter-attack from Tottenham.
“Obviously we wanted to start well in the first game of the season and with the fans. It was an incredible performance and everyone worked so hard to get these three points,” Son said after the game.
