Tottenham fans were delighted to see their team start the reign of Ryan Mason with a win.
After a poor 2021, the club fired Jose Mourinho earlier in the week just before their game against the Saints.
Mason, who had been handling the club’s academy, has been made their manager for the rest of the season on an interim basis.
His first task was to beat Southampton before his team faces Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final at the weekend.
He led them to a 2-1 comeback win after Danny Ings had given the Saints the lead in the first half.
His winning start has brought much-needed positivity to the club and the way his team played differed from how they would have done under Mourinho.
The club posted about Mason’s winning start on their Twitter account and fans made their pleasure known under the comments.
One said they played better than under the Special One and one asked for a permanent deal to be handed to him already. Here are some reactions:
