Antonio Conte registered a first Premier League win in charge of Tottenham as they came from behind to beat Leeds 2-1.
Conte, who oversaw two games before the international break, watched his new side booed off at half-time after falling behind to Dan James’ strike.
But a much-improved second-half performance saw goals from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Sergio Reguilon earn the three points and end a three-game winless run.
Hojbjerg’s strike was Tottenham’s first in the Premier League since Heung-min Son scored at Newcastle in early October, well over four hours of action, and there is still plenty of work to be done by Conte and his coaching staff.
But the win moved them up to seventh, just four points off the top four, and with Manchester United sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Sunday morning, the Spurs hierarchy will be pleased they made the move to get Conte three weeks ago.
