Tottenham take on Newcastle today in a mouth-watering clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in both teams’ first Premier League match since the international break.
Newcastle suffered a disappointing defeat to Everton last time out but remain nine points clear of trouble despite back-to-back losses after an incredible unbeaten run to begin 2022 under Eddie Howe.
They face a stiff test travelling to north London where Spurs are having a rollercoaster season but are still chasing hard to finish in the top four.
Back-to-back wins over Brighton and West Ham have left Antonio Conte’s men three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, having played one game more, so they can ill-afford any mistakes in the race for Europe.
Follow live updates from a crucial clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:
76’ - West ham 2-1 Everton
Iwobi and Mykolenko combine but can’t quite fashion an opening. West Ham with 10 back now and just Antonio left up.
Team news for you for the next game as Tottenham host Newcastle:
Spurs XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies Royal, Højbjerg, Bentancur, Doherty, Kulusevski, Kane, Son
Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Manquillo, Burn, Schar, Targett, Joelinton, Shelvey, Willock, Saint-Maximin, Fraser, Wood
72’ - West ham 2-1 Everton
Holgate has dropped into defence now to fill Keane’s void. Anthony Gordon and Dele Alli are among those warming up and Lampard will have to figure out how to get these potential gamechangers onto the pitch without leaving even more room for the home side to break into.
Around 20’ to play now including stoppage time.
68’ - West ham 2-1 Everton
Holgate has a calf issue by the looks of things. West Ham use the chance to make a change.
WHU sub: Noble on for Bowen.
64’ - RED CARD! West ham 2-1 Everton
Richarlison wins a free-kick off Dawson as Everton again look to respond. They are still looking to build play, but the gaps are also appearing for West Ham counters with more regularity.
And as another opens up it’s Keane who lunges in with a tackle - he’s never winning it, he doesn’t win it and it’s a foul, another yellow and a subsequent red for the centre-back!
Dreadful decision-making from the Everton man and yet again they have imploded at the back.
GOAL! 59’ - West ham 2-1 Everton
That didn’t take long! Terrible from Everton in defence - a massive, massive gap is left own the right channel after Keane moves out of defence and Iwobi loses the ball, Antonio races away and shoots - it’s saved but bounces to Bowen who rolls into the empty net.
2-1 to West Ham and a dreadful defensive error from Everton.
58’ - West ham 1-1 Everton
Now Everton are on the front foot again, as they were when the scores were level in the first half.
Gray winds his way infield and swipes a shot in - but he’s off-balance and it’s well wide of goal.
Moyes is berating his team on the touchline but they haven’t really responded and the five minutes after their first-half goal is the only spell where they have been on top, in truth.
54’ - GOAL! West ham 1-1 Everton
What a strike! There’s a goal on the road at last for Everton and it’s Mason Holgate who has it - a tremendous side-volley, with a slight deflection, which fizzes into the far bottom corner after West Ham fail to clear a corner. All square again!
50’ - West ham 1-0 Everton
Decent sighter for Calvert-Lewin after Rice loses the ball - but the striker’s effort clips the top of the crossbar and flies over. Nice from Iwobi once again in the build-up.
He has been their best spark in attack today but the end product still just isn’t there.
One goal from open play for Calvert-Lewin in the league this term - all the way back on the opening day of the campaign.
46’ - West ham 1-0 Everton
Second half time - we are back underway. What can Everton come up with as they seek a comeback?
HALF TIME - West ham 1-0 Everton
Almost a second right before the break as Pickford spills a deflected cross, but Everton survive and the whistle goes shortly after.
A lot to sort out again for Frank Lampard at the break as Everton seek valuable points.
The Hammers haven’t done a lot, but they lead!
