Tottenham Hotspur secured a vital win on Sunday evening after battling past West Ham United 3-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to keep the pressure on Arsenal in 4th.
Spurs took an early lead after Kurt Zouma turned the ball into his own net. Just 15 minutes later they had a two goal lead as Heung-min Son fired home to give Spurs some comfort. Their situation was made a little less comfortable when Said Benrahma halved the deficit before the break.
Will Kane be at Spurs next season?
Yes
No
The game wasn’t settled until late on in the second period when Son doubled his tally for the afternoon to boost Spurs’ top four hopes.
Despite a solid performance, not everyone had a good day, Sergio Reguilon was the lowest rated player in Alasdair Gold’s match ratings, he gave him a 6/10, saying: “Had more bursts down the left that ended in either him falling to the floor or a weak shot that was comfortable for the keeper.”
He was the only player to get a six from the respected Spurs writer who wasn’t overly impressed with the Spanish wing-back. He had a poor day with the ball, only having three more completed passes than Hugo Lloris as per SofaScore.com.
Although Spurs have played a game more than Arsenal who occupy 4th, they’re now just three points behind in 5th but have played a game more. Sunday’s win was vital to keep them in contention for the top four as Antonio Conte’s men kept the pressure on their North London rivals.
