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.

Tottenham 2 - 1 West Ham

78 mins: It’s good game management from Tottenham. They’ve kept possession well and haven’t allowed West Ham to press them too intensely. They’ve also picked their moments to have a go at goal.

This is one of them. Hojbjerg dinks a nice pass over the top and gets it to Kane in the box. He’s onside, though it’s a close call, and lets the ball bounce before lifting it over the goalkeeper and over the goal!

Tottenham 2 - 1 West Ham

75 mins: Chance! Sergio Reguilon seems to be the most forward thinking Tottenham player at the minute. He flies down the left side and gets into the box as Dejan Kulusevski gives him the ball. He’s travelling so quickly though that he can’t control the ball and takes his shot off-balance managing to knock it softly into the arms of Lukasz Fabianski.

72 mins: Tottenham are trying to take the sting out of the game by keeping possession and picking their moments to attack. West Ham are working hard off the ball to get it back.

Son loses it to Rice in the middle of the pitch but Benrahma’s cross into the Spurs box from the right is easily headed clear by Doherty

Tottenham 2 - 1 West Ham

66 mins: Chance! Patient play from Spurs sees them string together a bunch of passes and push up the middle of the pitch. Doherty drifts into space on the right wing and receives the ball from Son. He curls a nice cross to the back post where Reguilon has the jump on Johnson. The Tottenham left-back wins the header but can’t guide his effort at goal and sends it wide.
