Having taken charge of 64 top-flight matches at Chelsea between 2016 and 2018, our Head Coach brought up game number 24 in the division for Tottenham Hotspur.
Two second-half goals from Heung-Min Son set the seal on a much-deserved home win over Leicester City on Sunday afternoon.
Son Heung-min was directly involved in all three Spurs goals to take his tally for the season to 19, three behind Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot.
Leicester’s Patson Daka hit the post early on before Harry Kane headed in from Son’s 20th-minute corner for his 19th goal in 18 appearances in all competitions against Leicester.
Kasper Schmeichel denied Kane a second goal before Son doubled Spurs’ lead on the hour, slotting in from substitute Dejan Kulusevski’s pass following a brilliant tackle by Cristian Romero.
Kulusevski then teed up Son again to curl in a stunner from distance before Kelechi Iheanacho netted a consolation goal with his own long-range strike in stoppage time.
Fifth-placed Spurs move on to 61 points, two behind Arsenal who beat West Ham United later in the day.Leicester City are 11th, on 42 points, with five matches left to play.

Tottenham Hotspur coach Antonio Conte said ,”It was a good performance, good commitment from my players. It’s not easy to beat Leicester and to win, for us, was important because we continue to stay in the race for the Champions League. We have to enjoy this moment. The players have worked very hard, and they deserve to stay in this race. Also, to repeat, the passion the fans are showing to us in every game.
I have to be pleased because in the last two games we lost five points, and you know very well when you get to the final part of the season, if you don’t get three points, mentally, you can be down. Instead, today, I have seen a great reaction from this team. We have to continue in this way. It’s important that every player continues to give 150 per cent – 100 per cent is not enough in this moment.”
