New Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou tasted defeat in his first match in charge as West Ham United secured a 3-2 pre-season friendly victory in Australia on Tuesday.
Postecoglou – who left his job at Scottish champions Celtic to take over at the Premier League side – was able to name Harry Kane in his starting line-up alongside James Maddison, their £40 million signing from Leicester City.
Kane continues to be linked with a move away from the club this summer with Bayern Munich leading the chase for the striker, who was given the captain's armband by Postecoglou.
But the 29-year-old, who has now entered the last 12 months of his contract with the North London club, failed to find the target at the Optus Stadium in Perth.
