Tottenham Overcome West Ham to Climb into Champions League Place
Tottenham moved into the Premier League top four with a 2-0 home win over West Ham United in a mostly cagey affair on Sunday.
As reported on ESPN, both sides struggled to find an attacking rhythm in the first-half with Spurs registering the only two shots on target in the opening period.
However Spurs, who were again without head coach Antonio Conte on the sideline, looked livelier in the second half, missing a pair of good chances before defender Emerson Royal slotted home on 56 minutes.
Son Heung-Min was benched in favour of Richarlison to start the match but was introduced just after the hour mark and took four minutes to get on the scoresheet with a cool finish into the bottom right corner.
Spurs have moved a point above Newcastle United into fourth place in the Premier League.
