Tottenham vs West Ham LIVE result: Premier League final score as Son goal settles London derby
Tottenham 2-0 West Ham: Spurs go fourth while the Hammers remain in the bottom three
Tottenham moved into the Premier League’s top four as they returned to form with a 2-0 home win over West Ham that left their London rivals in the bottom three on Sunday.
There was little to separate the sides in a forgettable first half but Spurs stepped up the pace after the interval with goals by Emerson Royal and substitute Son Heung-min.
It was a big win for Tottenham following defeat at Leicester City and a midweek loss away to AC Milan in the Champions League and allowed them to leapfrog Newcastle United in the table.
Right back Emerson marked his 50th Premier League game by opening the scoring in the 56th minute from a Ben Davies pass.
Son, who has struggled for form this season and was left out of the starting lineup by Spurs’ stand-in manager Cristian Stellini, then linked with Harry Kane to double the advantage.
West Ham had started the derby brightly with Jarrod Bowen wasting an early chance but offered little and have now won only once in their last 11 league games with pressure mounting on manager David Moyes.

Play halts due to an injury to Tottenham's Romero, but their World Cup-winning centre-back is eventually able to get back on his feet and resume play.

Kane looks to play in Richarlison with a throughball into the box, but the pass is overhit and rolls into Fabianski's gloves.

SAVED!!! Hojbjerg has several options in the box for Spurs, but all are tightly marked by those in claret. He tries his luck from 25 yards, but his low drive is seen all the way and easily held by Fabianski.

Royal clips an aerial pass to the back post, but Richarlison can't get there and Davies' attempted shot is mis-hit and dribbles wide!

Skipp's throughball is met by Davies, who crosses in from the left. Kane had also been chasing so can't get there, and the ball goes all the way through before being recovered by West Ham!

Richarlison gets around the outside of Kehrer before attempting to cross into the box, but the German defender stands tall and blocks the ball out for a Spurs corner.
