He smiled again and Tottenham scored four!

After the defeats by Leicester and Milan, the Tottenham recovered by beating West Ham 2-0 home.

A result which allowed the winners to overtake Newcastle in the 4th place in the Premier League standings and which at the same time left the “hammers” in the relegation zone.

“Spurs” had the upper hand in the first half, with Fabianski intervening where needed. A handball by Kerr in the penalty area at the start of the match brought protests for a penalty from the home side, with the referee however not called by VAR…

Finally, the… Gordian bond was untied by Emersonwho found the back of the net from close range after a partnership between Hoiberg and Davies, opening the scoring in the 56th minute.

Tottenham’s victory was sealed in the 72nd minute Sonwho scored five minutes after coming on for Richarlison, assisted by Kane.
