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.

Real Madrid 0 - 1 Barcelona

32 mins: Real Madrid are really missing Karim Benzema. His presence up top is a comfort and to deal with his absence Carlo Ancelotti has changed Madrid’s formation. It’s not working out for them. A rethink may be needed before Barcelona get too far ahead.

GOAL! Real Madrid 0 - 1 Barcelona (Aubameyang, 29’)⚽️

29 mins: There’s the opener! It’s a deserved goal for Barcelona who’ve been brilliant so far. Ousmane Dembele brings the ball down the right wing and takes on Nacho. He shifts it to away from the left-back and floats a cross into the middle of the box. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang makes a move into the six-yard box, leaps into the air and guides his header into the bottom corner!

27 mins: It’s better from Real Madrid. They keep the ball and work it up the pitch. Luka Modric brings it into midfield from the left and gives it to Casemiro who lays the ball back to Eder Militao. Militao threads another fine through ball up to Rodrygo who can’t bring it under control and lets it roll out for a goal kick.

18 mins: Close! Barcelona get lucky as a pacey pass from the right wing flies past everyone on the edge of the Real box before finishing with Ferran Torres.

12 mins: Save! Barcelona should have the lead!

Ferran Torres sprints down the left wing and is given the ball by Sergio Busquets’ threaded pass. He carries it to the byline before cutting it into the six yard box for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. He turns it towards goal with his first touch but Thibaut Courtois shuffles to his left and parries it away from close range.

Fantastic save from the Real Madrid goalkeeper!

9 mins: Save! What a pass this is from Eder Militao. Deep in his own half, he slots a long through ball in between Gerard Pique and Ronald Araujo to send Vinicius Jr in behind. He brings the ball into the area and holds it up long enough of Federico Valverde to arrive. Vinicius lays the ball off and Valverde side foots a shot at goal only for Marc-Andre ter Stegen to leap to his left and palm the ball away.

6 mins: Federico Valverde brings the ball down the right side and passes it up to Rodrygo. He darts inside and floats an aerial pass over to Vinicius Junior on the opposite side of the pitch. Vinicius takes on Ronald Araujo but Ousmane Dembele tracks back and nicks the ball.

Barca don’t keep the ball for long and Valverde sparks another attack with a nice run into the final third before passing the ball out to Rodrygo again. He runs at Jordi Alba, shifts it into the box and smokes a shot just wide of goal!
