51 mins: That goal has really rattled Spurs. Spurs haven't woken up yet. They showed all facets here to climb up to fourth in the table; European football no longer a pipe dream. Jesse Lingard scored the crucial second goal for West Ham after it was confirmed having initially been flagged offside, The midfielder slotted his powerful shot into the far corner and Pablo Fornals was shown to be onsideÂ, The Manchester United loanee has endeared himself to West Ham fans with a sensational start to life in the capitalÂ, Kane's face told the story as Spurs' top four hopes were dented and the Hammers' received a massive boost, WEST HAM: (4-2-3-1) Fabianski 6.5; Coufal 7, Dawson 8, Diop 7.5, Cresswell 7; Rice 8, Soucek 8.5; Bowen 7.5 (Benrahma 65, 6.5), Lingard 8 (Noble 90), Fornals 7 (Johnson 81); Antonio 7.5, Unused subs: Balbuena, Lanzini, Alves, Martin, Randolph, Odubeko, TOTTENHAM: (4-2-3-1) Lloris 5; Tanganga 5.5 (Doherty 6.5), Sanchez 5, Dier 5.5, Reguilon 6 (Alli 77); Hojbjerg 6.5, Ndombele 6.5; Lucas 7, Lamela 6 (Bale 46, 7.5), Son 7; Kane 7Â, Unused subs: Alderweireld, Winks, Hart, Sissoko, Davies, Alves Morais. Final change for Spurs and it is Dele Alli on for Reguilon. Spurs' best opportunity came deep into first half stoppage time; inevitably it was Kane again - his well struck angled drive well said by Lukasz Fabianski before Eric Dier glanced a header from the resultant corner wide. The Spurs boss gets a talking to from the referee. NO BALE, ANTONIO STARTS: Despite getting on the scoresheet in the Europa League in midweek, there is still no place in Jose Mourinho's Premier League side for Gareth Bale. West Ham had to endure a brief VAR check, but that was merely delaying the inevitable. The hosts have fourth in their sights. Lingard slips through Bowen but just overpowers his pass. 5 mins: The Hammers lead! Son tees up Lucas really well, but the Brazilian blazes over. Bale crashed an audacious effort from Kane's pass onto the crossbar in the 79th minute as it looked a matter of when not if Spurs would level. Fabianski could only watch it ricochet to safety. And in 64th minute, Spurs grabbed a lifeline as Lucas Moura, all 5ft 8ins of him, rose highest to nod home Bale's corner.Â, Kane was denied several times by some outstanding defending or goalkeeping to thwart his efforts on goal, Lingard looks close to his best again and is benefiting from consistent game time he could not find at United, Vladimir Coufal was congratulated for another solid display by his delighted manager at full-time after the game, Moyes' side are tough to play against but it will be Spurs forced to look inwards and ask the difficult questions. West Ham doing all the pressing still, as they line up a free-kick in a dangerous position. Alli made an impression in midweek and has 15 minutes to make a difference now. CROSSBAR! Lanzini broke Spurs hearts with a 94th minute equaliser the last time these two met here. Spirited effort from Spurs, who were much-improved after Bale's introduction, but they did not quite have enough to snatch a point. The Hammers midfielder, following an initial assessment on the pitch, was escorted back down the tunnel for treatment before being reintroduced seven minutes after the clash; Moyes deciding against making a concussion substitute despite Tottenham's numerical advantage while Soucek was patched up. Jose Mourinho remains in control though, apparently... HEAD TO HEAD: West Ham have lost each of their last three home league games against Spurs, their longest losing run at home against them in their league history. Pawson has got a taste for it as he brandishes another yellow card, this time for Reguilon. Kane lines up the free-kick, fizzes an effort for the bottom corner, but the ball skips wide. /// TOTTENHAM: Lloris, Tanganga, Sanchez, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Ndombele, Lamela, Moura, Son, Kane. Neither did Mourinho as the pressure mounted. SAVE! CLOSE! A neat stepover and delivery from the South Korean did the trick but the chance comes and goes for Spurs. First booking for a West Ham player and he is unlucky as he appears to get the ball when tackling Kane. This was the second half Mourinho had envisaged; Bale's influence was growing while Kane was getting closer - another effort in the 73rd minute whizzing inches past the post. For a juicy bit of context heading into this one, check out our preview piece here... 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 ⚪️ Lloris (C), Tanganga, Sanchez, Dier, Reguilón, Højbjerg, Ndombele, Lamela, Lucas, Son, Kane. Five defeats in their last six league games for Spurs, with West Ham's seventh win in their last nine league games sending them up to a lofty fourth! 12 mins: Spurs hit on the counter and Lamela steams away, feeding Kane who will think he should have done better. First yellow card of the game for Lamela for a lunging tackle on Issa Diop. Soucek is back on with the cut above his eye patched up. 38: The centre-back rises well from a corner and heads powerfully at Lloris. The French keeper palms it over. Bale had not even had a touch and Spurs are further behind. Patient build-up play from Spurs. Reguilon whips in a cross and Kane's eyes light up but Diop is well positioned to put the striker off. It is just those shackles are kept firmly shut too often by Mourinho. Great cross from Son, but Diop just about heads clear. They have won 42 points from their 24 Premier League games this season, their best total at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1985-86 (48) when they finished in third place. Plenty of the ball, plenty of probing - but the final product was, frankly, disappointing. Indeed, the introduction of Gareth Bale, in place of Lamela, at half-time a signal of Mourinho's intent. See also List of West Ham United F.C. Fornals the latest player in to the congested referee's book. Plenty of time left. CLOSE! Soucek goes down the tunnel, looking like he will need stitches. Spurs have been solid but only forced a couple of saves out of Fabianski and West Ham have been pretty comfortable. Lovely clipped pass from Fornals into Cresswell but the full-back's control lets him down. The Hammers have won three more points in 2020-21 (42) than they did in the entire 2019-20 season (39). The match starts at 12:00 on 21 February 2021.

The ball went through from Lingard and a team-mate made a move towards it before backing off, but replays show he was onside anyway. #WHUTOT pic.twitter.com/lpiGzpvMog. Bale with an effort from distance, but he doesn't connect well and Fabianski gathers easily. CHANCE! Who's the angry … Kane has the ball fall for him but there are too many bodies in the way.

David Moyes says he wants to take West Ham to the next level after they beat West Brom to move within two points of a Champions League place. Jarrod Bowen whips the cross in, Eric Dier and Japhet Tanganga fail to attack it, Hugo Lloris makes a mess of trying to gather, and Antonio pokes home from close range. The match starts at 12:00 on 21 February 2021. He whips the ball in but a defender blocks it. It certainly wasn't a surprise. In contrast, David Moyes' position as West Ham head coach is one of the safest in the top flight - or at least it should be. But you make your own luck in this game. KICK OFF! On second glance, that initial assertion was slightly unfair. He squeezes a ball wide to Son who cuts it back on a plate for Moura who blazes it into row Z, decent chance spurned. They've had a couple of sniffs outside the box with Dier the latest to power a shot over the bar. 69 mins: A crucial period coming up for West Ham now. Brilliant from Erik Lamela to pick out Harry Kane, who rifles one for goal, but it flies just wide. Bale almost with a superb equaliser.

The same can't be said of Tottenham's European aspirations, however. Follow the Premier League live Football match between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur with Eurosport. GOAL STANDS! Tottenham are there for the taking, too, given their dip in form of late. Their not lacking for attacking flair either -with Lingard, Antonio and Jarrod Bowen in the ranks - scoring goals is becoming less of an issue. And, in fairness to Mourinho, having slumped to a two goal deficit, thanks to goals from Michail Antonio and Jesse Lingard, Tottenham didn't down tools. The England striker takes it and attempts a low curling shot around the wall. Spurs looking to exert themselves on the game with some possession. The big news for West Ham is that they can welcome back Michail Antonio who has missed the last two games. 45 + 2 mins: Kane drills one through the legs of a defender and Fabianski comes up with the stop. All eyes were one Lloris, but replays alleviated at least some of the blame on the Frenchman, Antonio getting the deftest of touches on Bowen's ball. FT: West Ham 2-1 Tottenham. 85 mins: Five minutes of normal time remaining for Tottenham to find an equaliser. HT: West Ham 1-0 Tottenham. Right in the gonads. Subs: Hart, Doherty, Alderweireld, Winks, Bale, Sissoko, Alli, Davies, Vinicius.

Tickets: Barclays Premier League official site, 'That's a bad rumour' - Son Heung-min rubbishes talk Jose Mourinho has lost Tottenham dressing room. Brilliant from Kane again to make an attempt out of nothing, but his drilled strike is just wide of the post. Premier League surprise package West Ham have a solid, settled line-up and we'll see if Jesse Lingard can keep up his bright start on loan. In the end it was all too little too late from Tottenham, who will argue they were unlucky here. Good climb from Dawson to meet a corner but his header is tipped over the bar by Lloris. Their lack of incision nearly came at a cost in the 38th minute, Lloris bailing his team out by tipping Dawson's bullet header from Aaron Cresswell's corner over the bar. Delay in play here as Coufal takes a hit from his own goalkeeper. His contract, as it stands, is due to expire at the end of the season - though there is an option to extend his deal by a further year. Tanganga stops the cross, and it is one to make your eyes water. They've been playing so well and the goal came out of nowhere really. It took going 2-0 down for Spurs to start playing and when they did, they looked a team transformed. Spurs have struggled to that early opener from Antonio. He is on the bench alongside Dele Alli, but Sergio Reguillon does make the starting XI. Tanganga and Lamela make way. Silly yellow card there for Antonio, for blocking a quick free-kick.
