Pochettino delighted the White Hart Lane faithful on his home debut
There's joy in north London but frustration in the north east as Tottenham kick the season off in fine style but Manchester United fail to win...
Competitive home debuts don't get much sweeter than Mauricio Pochettino's as manager of Tottenham.
The Argentinian saw his new team trounce London rivals QPR 4-0 in a dominating performance that takes his team to the top of an (admittedly very early season) Premier League table.
Two goals from Nacer Chadli, another for new defender Eric Dier and one from Emmanuel Adebayor did the business for Spurs who were backed at a high of 32.031/1 to win by four goals to nil against a side managed by former boss Harry Redknapp.
Manchester United are still searching for their first win of the season after drawing 1-1 with Sunderland in the late kick-off.
Ahead through Juan Mata on 17 minutes, the Red Devils were backed at a low of 1.261/4, but it was soon level with Jack Rodwell scoring for the home side.
Five points behind Chelsea, United are 14.013/1 to win the title in Louis van Gaal's first season.
Stoke and Hull fought out a 1-1 draw in the other early kick-off but it will be Steve Bruce's men who will feel hard done by. Down to 10 men after James Chester's first half sending off, the Europa League contenders nevertheless took the lead and then watched as Stoke laboured to find an opening. In the end the game was settled by a scuffy goal as Phil Bardsley saw his effort come back off the woodwork, before Ryan Shawcross turned the ball in.
The draw traded at a high of 4.84/1 while Hull were backed as low as 1.330/100.
