The hero of the game was Jorginho, who converted a 24th-minute penalty, after Eric Dier had fouled Timo Werner.

Spurs’ Erik Lamela had a chance to equalise but his shot was pushed wide by goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. Carlos Vinicius also headed wide late as the hosts pushed for a point to no avail.

The defeat was the first time Mourinho had lost back-to-back home games in his managerial career, having been beaten 3-1 by Liverpool in their last home game.
