Tottenham vs West Ham LIVE result: Premier League final score as Son goal settles London derby

Tottenham moved into the Premier League’s top four as they returned to form with a 2-0 home win over West Ham that left their London rivals in the bottom three on Sunday.

There was little to separate the sides in a forgettable first half but Spurs stepped up the pace after the interval with goals by Emerson Royal and substitute Son Heung-min.

It was a big win for Tottenham following defeat at Leicester City and a midweek loss away to AC Milan in the Champions League and allowed them to leapfrog Newcastle United in the table.

Right back Emerson marked his 50th Premier League game by opening the scoring in the 56th minute from a Ben Davies pass.

Son, who has struggled for form this season and was left out of the starting lineup by Spurs’ stand-in manager Cristian Stellini, then linked with Harry Kane to double the advantage.

West Ham had started the derby brightly with Jarrod Bowen wasting an early chance but offered little and have now won only once in their last 11 league games with pressure mounting on manager David Moyes.

That 2-0 victory sends Spurs above Newcastle in the Premier League table to occupy fourth spot, albeit having played one game more than the Magpies. West Ham on the other hand remain in the bottom three on 20 points, less than double Tottenham's 42, with only Leeds and Southampton below them in the table.

Emerson Royal's opener came from a marauding run up the right flank from the Tottenham wing-back, a flank which Dejan Kulusevski dominated from minute one. The Sweden winger, still only on loan from Juventus, was a constant threat in that area of the pitch, and had two shots from eight touches in the box, as well as creating big chances with 3 of his 18 final-third passes. Contesting 10 total duels, Kulusevski won five, with three successful tackles and the winning of a free-kick contribution to six times in which he re-took possession for Spurs. Outlet.

The full-time whistle goes, and Spurs seal a crucial three points which sends them into the Premier League's top four! A chance-sparse first game gave way to a second which Spurs were eventually able to coast through, made all the more easy by Emerson Royal's well-taken opener 10 minutes into the second half. Chances continued to flow at both ends, with the hosts largely in the ascendancy, with Kane, Kulusevski, and West Ham's Bowen each testing their opposing goalkeepers. Heung-Min Son's introduction saw Spurs step up a gear though, and just four minutes after coming on the South Korean calmly dispatched the sealant on a win which will do wonders for Tottenham's confidence, as they aim to keep pace with the sides around them in the fight for European places.

A fracas breaks out in the box, featuring almost everyone on the pitch and has Hojbjerg and Rice at his centre. Referee Michael Oliver intervenes to speak to the two perpetrators, and avoids the situation from exacerbating.

Bowen looks to keep the ball in play and cross, but is barrelled over on the edge of the box before he can do so. Davies concedes the free-kick, which will be crossed in from the right-hand side of the area.

Fornals attempts to find Bowen with a diagonal ball, but it's cut out by Spurs, and Son, clearly in the mood to get stuck in, is back in defence and turns away from two before setting off on another counter-attack.

West Ham are yet to win a game after going behind in the league this season, winning only three points (all from draws) after conceding the first goal. Ominous.

Soucek has been very heavily involved on his return to the Hammers' XI, having three touches in the box and firing off one shot. He's contested a game-high 13 duels, winning nine, including five in the air, and has also won three tackles as well as completing three interceptions and clearances apiece.

A frustrating first half for both sides comes to an end, with defences very much on top so far. Both teams have been limited to long shots from distance, with Bowen's half-volley almost getting West Ham off to a perfect start inside the opening seconds. Since then though, chances have been hard to come by at both ends, with only Hojbjerg and Richarlison remotely testing the goalkeeper for Spurs. The opportunities did begin to increase in regularity as the half progressed, suggesting we're in for a much more open second period wth, hopefully, a goal or two!

Kane steps out of a challenge and looks to shoot from some 25 yards, but slips as he strikes the ball and his effort sails into Fabianski's grasp.

OVER!!! Lenglet is forward or the corner, and has certainly shaken off that knock as he powers a header towards goal, which flies a fraction over the bar and rests on top of the net!

17:21 , admin

SAVED!!! Kane first a diagonal ball into the box which Richarlison is surging after. Fabianski misjudges the bounce of the ball and is caught out of position, but recovers to parry the Brazilian's tight-angled shot behind for a corner!

17:20 , admin

We'll play three added minutes at the end of what has been quite a disjointed first half in north London.

Now Lenglet is down clutching his head, and a second Spurs defender in as many minutes receives lengthy treatment before being cleared to carry on.

CHANCE!!! Bowen drives into open space and lets fly from 25 yards. His low effort is nearly turned goalwards by a sliding Soucek, but instead the ball rolls wide of the far post!

A Kane cross into the area takes a nick which sends the ball spinning to the front post. Richarlison attempts to keep the ball in play with Fabianski stranded, but cannot do so and West Ham get the goal kick.

Spurs have maintained 68 per cent possession in the opening 15 minutes, but have very little to show for their efforts, with that deflected Skipp strike their only shot on goal.
