LONDON (Reuters) - Jose Mourinho began life as Tottenham Hotspur manager with a 3-2 victory at West Ham United on Saturday, while Premier League pacesetters Liverpool won to remain eight points clear and defending champions Manchester City also took three points.

The use of VAR continued to be a major talking point, however, having a say in Liverpool's 2-1 win at Crystal Palace and second-placed Leicester City's 2-0 triumph at Brighton & Hove Albion. Manchester City fought back to beat Chelsea 2-1.
