Tottenham Hotspur boosted their Champions League qualification hopes thanks to a 3-1 win over top-four rivals West Ham United in the Premier League.

A Kurt Zouma own goal gave Spurs the lead after nine minutes and the hosts doubled their lead when Son Heung-min combined with Harry Kane midway through the first half.

West Ham pulled one back through Said Benrahma but could not find the energy to produce a comeback following Thursday’s extra-time win over Sevilla in the Europa League.

And the win was sealed as Son raced clear to score his second and move Spurs ahead of Manchester United into fifth, three points behind Arsenal.

The result also means Spurs have won back-to-back games in the Premier League for the first time since December as Antonio Conte’s side backed up Wednesday’s win at Brighton.

GOAL! Real Madrid 0 - 4 Barcelona (Aubameyang, 51)⚽️

51 mins: It’s four! Real Madrid are all over the place at the back. Marc-Andre ter Stegen boots the ball up the pitch to Ferran Torres who weaves in front of Nacho - he’s switched out to the right side - and brings the ball under control. Torres flicks the ball around the defender and plays Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang into the box. He only has the keeper to beat and chips it over Thibau Courtois to score!

GOAL! Real Madrid 0 - 3 Barcelona (Torres, 47’)⚽️

47 mins: The changes haven’t worked. A simple long ball comes up the pitch and is poorly cleared by Nacho who gives the ball away to Frenkie de Jong. He dinks the ball over to Aubameyang in the box and he flicks it into the path of Ferran Torres. Torres opens his body up and slots his shot into the far bottom corner!

Half-time: Real Madrid 0 - 2 Barcelona

45 mins: No time added at the end of the first half. It’s been a superb first 45 from Barcelona. They controlled the ball, created chances for fun and scored two goals. It could have been more if not for Thibaut Courtois.

Carlo Ancelotti needs to change things or else Real Madrid are going to lose this Clasico.

Real Madrid 0 - 2 Barcelona

41 mins: Dembele attempts to dribble around Nacho once again but the defender wins the ball this time and knocks it out for a throw in. Barcelona send the ball back into the midfield where De Jong flicks the ball into the area for Pedri. He gives it to Jordi Alba whose cross just skims the top of Aubameyang’s head and Real can clear.

GOAL! Real Madrid 0 - 2 Barcelona (Araujo, 38’)⚽️

38 mins: Real Madrid are floundering! Barcelona win a corner that Ousmane Dembele swings into the box. Ronald Araujo leaps higher than Casemiro to win the ball in the air and whips his header past Thibaur Courtois to double Barcelona’s lead!

Real Madrid 0 - 1 Barcelona

35 mins: Chance! Barcelona could have had three or four goals already. A long ball comes up to Frenkie de Jong who brings the ball under control in Real’s final third before sliding it into the box for Aubameyang. He drills a low left-footed shot at goal but Courtois dives low to his left and denies him again!
