Good afternoon, and welcome to live coverage of West Ham United versus Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. So, who fancies a spot in the top four? West Ham currently sit seventh in the league while Spurs are fifth and if we get a winner here today then, if only for a few hours perhaps, that lucky side will get to breath in the air of the Champions League places. On top of that, it’s a derby in that London and a clash between two sides on an upswing in recent matches. It’s usually lively between these two; last season, West Ham blagged a point at Tottenham despite being 3-0 down with eight minutes left. A good game in store then? Here’s hoping. Team news from the London Stadium is on the way.

All
Highlights

That's it! West Ham have won a tight game 1-0 and move up to fourth in the league.

90+2'

Spurs are out of ideas. Son lobs a hopeful long cross into the box, but Fabianski comes out to gather to huge cheers.

90'

More changes. Dawson replaces Bowen as West Ham look to protect what they have, Bergwijn replaces Moura as Spurs try to make something happen up front.

We'll have a minimum of three additional minutes.

88'

Antonio is one of the best out balls in the Premier League. West Ham win it deep again and find him in space down the right. He keeps possession, takes a chunk off the clock and wins a throw-in for his team deep in the Spurs half.

85'

We're treated to a belting foot race between Son and Bowen, fully 60 yards down the left, as Son initially loses the ball but gets back to regain possession for Spurs. Breathless stuff there.

85'

Two Tottenham changes, as Gil and Lo Celso replace Reguilon and Ndombele.

For West Ham, Benrahma is hooked and on comes Lanzini.

83'

Almost a chance for West Ham, as Spurs stop playing assuming the ball had gone out on the left. Antonio keeps playing, picks it up and plays a ball into the area for Benrahma. Lloris is out to smother the shot from a wide angle and Spurs scramble clear.

81'

Changes are incoming for Spurs, who are having all of the but doing very little with it.

78'

It's all Spurs now, as West Ham look to defend what they have and play on the break.

74'

Now then, what have Tottenham got in response? West Ham closed it out at Everton after scoring at a similar juncture, and will be looking to do so again.

72'

GOAL! West Ham United 1 (Antonio 72) Tottenham Hotspur 0

It's there! Cresswell takes the corner from the left, an outswinger to the front post. It clears everyone there and finds Antonio on the edge of the six yard box, who throws out a leg and shins it into the bottom corner!

71'

GOOD SAVE! Reguilon gives the ball away carelessly to Fornals on the edge of the area. Fornals shoots, it deflects off Dier and Lloris tips the ball over the bar for a corner.

69'

Spurs engage in a bit of keepball around the West Ham box. It eventually gets to Kane, who barrels through two challenges but loses it in the third inside the area.

67'

A few minutes of not much at all; this match is on simmer, and really needs a goal or some kind of energising substitution to liven it up a bit.

63'

Rice breaks forward from the left, but delays his pass through to Antonio too long and it's eventually pulled back for offside. That was a rare chance for West Ham to get in behind.

62'

West Ham get a free kick on the left corner of the Spurs area. Cresswell takes it, but it's a poor delivery and Spurs clear.

59'

We've got a brouhaha, as Romero and Fornals clash with the former giving the latter an earful after a tackle on the left. There's pushing, shoving and posturing before Romero is shown a yellow card.

57'

Rice loses the ball on the edge of the Spurs area, and the away side break rapidly. Romero bombs forward, all the way into the West Ham half, and finds Kane on the right. Son is free at the back post, but Kane's low cross is poor and Fabianski gathers. Spurs' play has just lacked the pace to make it truly incisive today.

56'

Ndombele leads a dangerous break for Spurs. He tries to coax a ball through to Kane in the area but Ogbonna reads it well, timing his interception perfectly and clearing the danger.

52'

Spurs have started well in the second half. Skipp and Kane gallop away down the right, before the former miscues his cross straight into the hands of Fabianski.
