Tottenham Hotspur manager Nuno Espirito Santo has hailed the "special" atmosphere in the capital following his side's 1-0 victory over Manchester City.
The Lilywhites kept the likes of Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling at bay before the contest was settled from a Son Heung-min strike in the 55th minute on Sunday afternoon.
Son paid tribute to the "incredible" support of the fans during their opening-day success over the champions, and Santo has also taken the time to thank the returning supporters after a successful opening day.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Santo said: "It was good I think. The atmosphere was special off the hard work of the boys. They make any crowd proud when they work so hard.
"It was strong. We were lucky because they had chances but the boys held on and they stayed in the game. We knew it would be tough. After that first 20 minutes we did better and we started getting our chances. In the first half we didn't finish so good. When we should have shot on goal we didn't do it.
When asked about the stellar performance of Japhet Tanganga, Santo replied: "Not only him. In terms of shape and our organisation the front three worked very hard and closed the gaps. It's very difficult to play against City with the way they build the first moment. It requires a lot of discipline so the boys did OK.
"I'm sure that with commitment and the talent we have, we will be a good team. We are in the process of that. I am learning every day and I am very proud of them today, very proud."
Spurs now meet Pacos de Ferreira in the Europa Conference League before Santo reunites with Wolverhampton Wanderers next weekend. body check tags ::
