Hughton unconvinced by Spurs victory over Man City

Tottenham hero Chris Hughton was unconvinced by victory over Manchester City on Sunday.

Spurs eventually ran out comfortable winners on Sunday thanks to goals from debutant Steven Bergwijn and Son Heung-Min, but Hughton - who played for the north London club between 1977 and 1990 - says his old club "rode their luck".

When asked whether Tottenham had benefitted from manager Jose Mourinho's trademark tactics, Hughton told Sky Sports: "In some ways, only because he's got the result and ultimately it's the result that matters.

"Spurs rode their luck, and on an average day, they put those chances away. But it's about the result and how you get the result.

"You'll have one extremely happy changing room, and one extremely disappointed one. We've seen them in the past, but that wasn't a masterclass."
