Tottenham Hotspur's 3-0 victory over Leicester City this evening came with just 29.5 per cent possession - their lowest ever tally in a home game.

Jose Mourinho's side swept The Foxes aside in the first half thanks to a James Justin own goal and Harry Kane double.

The scoreline would make you think Spurs dominated Brendan Rodgers' side for the whole 90 minutes, but the stats say otherwise.

Opta have revealed it is the least possession the north London outfit have had in any Premier League game since 2012.


Now that is what you call a Mourinho masterclass.

The Portuguese coach has enjoyed his best week since joining the club in November, defeating bitter rivals Arsenal last Sunday as well as Newcastle United in midweek.

His side got off to the perfect start at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when Son Heung-min's effort deflected in off Justin inside six minutes.

Spurs then broke on the counter to add a second through Kane, who slotted beyond Kasper Schmeichel.

The forward then doubled his tally with a lovely curling effort that fell just inside the far post.

Spurs didn't register a single shot on target following Kane's second and it was Leicester who did all the attacking.

Victory has moved Spurs up to sixth in the table while defeat leaves Leicester in fourth, having played a game more than top four rivals Chelsea and Manchester United.

Do you think Jose Mourinho will get Spurs back to their best?
