BURNLEY, England (Reuters) - In the early days of his time in charge at Tottenham Hotspur, Jose Mourinho suggested that the squad he inherited from Mauricio Pochettino was perhaps a little too nice.

"Good guys" or nice teams tend not to enjoy trips to Turf Moor on a cold October evening and indeed Spurs failed to win in their last two trips to East Lancashire.

"This is the kind of match with all the ingredients to lose two points and sometimes three. We prepared... well but it is the game that without character and determination you lose points here so I am very happy," he said after Son Heung-min's 76th minute header settled a dour encounter. In many ways it was a classic Mourinho approach -- Spurs were solid at the back, hard-working and physical in midfield but with the prolific Son, who now has a league-leading eight goals, alongside Harry Kane and Lucas Moura, there was always a threat.
