A steady and composed performance as ever. West Ham gave as good as they got today, and it was largely down to our defenders resilience that kept the score looking positive for Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur edged today’s London derby, beating West Ham United 1-0 in an incredibly tight encounter.

There was very little between the two teams, but it’s Pochettino’s men who take all three points, propelling them up to level with Chelsea to third in the Premier League table.

The Hammers had ten corners and four shots on target, double the amount Spurs managed, but could just not find the finishing touches.

Erik Lamela scored the only goal with a neat header just before the break following some neat play and cross from Moussa Sissoko on the right flank. His cross found the head of Lamela and the Argentine made no mistake in what proved to be the matchwinner.
