(CNN) -- Andre Villas-Boas recorded his first win as Tottenham Hotspur manager on Sunday as a Jermain Defoe brace helped the north London club secure a 3-1 victory at Reading.

Former Chelsea coach Villas-Boas, appointed as Harry Redknapp's successor at White Hart Lane in July, had seen Spurs draw two and lose one of their opening three English Premier League matches.

The victory was Villas-Boas' first in the English top flight since his Chelsea team beat Bolton Wanderers 3-0 in February.

Defeat left Brian McDermott's Reading 19th in the table with one point from three games.
