48 mins: Maro Arnautovic clips the ball in and Spurs clear but are unable to counter effectively. West Ham applying pressure as they look to find an early goal to get themselves back in this tie.
52 mins: West Ham continue to launch crosses into the box but are yet to test Hugo Lloris. Marco Arnautovic looks up for it but you feel the home side have to make this pressure turn into something soon.
55 mins: Moussa Sissoko finds Dele Alli in the box who opts to come back on his right foot instead of shoot first time and tumbles to the ground under the pressure of Winston Reid. No penalty or appeals with any great deal of conviction.
57 mins: Tottenham put together a nice move but it ends with Harry Kane flagged for offside for the 100th time today.
58 mins: Dele Alli skips past Jose Fonte on the edge of the box, the ball gets past the defender but the player doesn't and Spurs have a free kick. Harry Kane takes the free kick and hits the post.
Goal!
West Ham 0-3 Tottenham
Serge Aurier's deflected cross falls to Christian Eriksen who cooly slots a shot into the bottom corner and becomes the highest scoring Dane in the Premier League. Sorry Nicklas Bendtner.
62 mins: This could get embarrassing. Harry Kane has the ball at his feet and unleashes an early shot which hits the post.
Serge Aurier is the first player into Micheal Oliver's book. The Tottenham defender gets a yellow card as a matter of a 'totting up process.'
Goal!
West Ham 1-3 Tottenham
Is this the most Javier Hernandez goal ever? Jose Fonte flicks on a header at the near post and Hernandez is there to head the ball in.
66 mins: West Ham react to their goal by bringing on Jordan Ayew for Marco Arnautovic who had a good game on his return to a starting place.
