Jesse Lingard’s winner put more pressure on former boss Jose Mourinho as West Ham United secured a 2-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday
Goals from Michail Antonio and Lingard in each half reduced Spurs’ chances of finishing in the top four for a second straight year
Lucas Moura’s goal brought Spurs back into the game, but the defeat means they are now nine points behind fourth-place West Ham on the Premier League table
The hosts opened the scoring within four minutes, when Spurs couldn’t handle a Jarrod Bowen cross and Antonio reacted the fastest
Spurs responded almost immediately after Erik Lamela produced a wonderful solo run to field Harry Kane, who shot the ball far
The best chances for a Spurs equalizer were at the end of the first half, but Lukasz Fabianski denied Lamela and Kane with good saves
Mourinho brought Gareth Bale in at half time, but West Ham doubled their lead two minutes after break when Lingard clung to Pablo Fornals’ pass and slammed the ball into the top corner
There was a long delay due to an offside VAR check but the goal was scored as Lingard scored his third goal for the club since moving from Old Trafford
Spurs returned to the game just after the hour when Moura hit with a great header from Bale’s corner
Bale almost scored a sensational equalizer, but his long shot hit the crossbar
Son Heung-Min almost scored an equalizer, but his attempt hit the post and West Ham managed to claim the win
