Handbags
31 mins: Mark Nobel and Moussa Sissoko show what this derby is all about when they clash after the Hammers captain smashes into the midfielder with a sliding tackle. Micheal Oliver talks to both players but doesn't brandish a card. As you were.
Goal!
West Ham 0-1 Tottenham
Harry Kane gets his first goal against West Ham away from home. Christian Eriksen finds Dele Alli who timed his run on the right flank to beat the offside trap. His cross finds Harry Kane who is in space and heads beyond Joe Hart to open the scoring.
Goal!
West Ham 0-1 Tottenham
Harry Kane gets his second in a matter of minutes. Jan Vertonghen finds Dele Alli with a through ball and his shot is saved by Joe Hart but the ball falls to Harry Kane and he makes no mistake as he slots the ball into a vacant net.
40 mins: Spurs are not finished here. After a slow start, Tottenham have now registered nine shots on goal and are looking very quick in attack. West Ham need half time to come soon to regroup and sort themselves out because in defence they look a shambles.
44 mins: Dele Alli plays a sublime outside of the foot pass for Ben Davis to chase but Pablo Zabaleta positions himself well to deal with the danger.
45 mins: Two minutes of added time at the London Stadium which has gone very quiet.
Half time
Harry Kane and Tottenham take apart West Ham late in the second half by taking advantage of some lackluster defending. Slaven Bilic has a big team talk coming up if West Ham are to get anything from this game and, perhaps, to tighten the security on his job.
Former Spurs midfielder Jamie Redknapp on Sky Sports: "What Harry Kane does so well is make things look easy, it's almost like time stands still."
46 mins: Earlier this week Slaven Bilic admitted he was finding it hard to fit Andy Carroll and Javier Hernandez into the same side. He now has 45 minutes to make that work is they are to get anything from this game.
