West Ham vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today
Follow all the fallout from the derby at the London Stadium
West Ham secured a huge London derby win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon, edging their rivals 1-0 thanks to a second-half Michail Antonio goal.
David Moyes’ men moved into the top four of the Premier League with the home victory, making it back-to-back wins this week after their comfortable Europa League outing against Genk on Thursday. Tottenham, meanwhile, suffered their second straight loss, following their defeat by Vitesse in the Europa Conference League – also on Thursday. The result saw Nuno Espirito Santo’s team drop to sixth in the table, too, as the Portuguese’s time as Spurs boss continues to disappoint fans of the north London club.
While the match at the London Stadium largely lacked the fireworks that this fixture so often produces, Antonio provided the spark for West Ham celebrations in the 72nd minute, when he stuck out a leg to convert an Aaron Cresswell corner at the near post. It was Antonio’s sixth goal of the season – his fifth in the Premier League – and marked Cresswell’s third assist of the week after his contributions in the home win against Genk. Follow all the fallout from West Ham’s Premier League victory over rivals Tottenham Hotspur below.
West Ham 0 - 0 Tottenham
63 mins: Declan Rice collects the ball in midfield and drives up the pitch. It take it around two Tottenham players and gets urged on by the home fans. Antonio makes a run in behind but he’s offside when Rice passes him the ball. Play continues though until Antonio cuts the ball back to Benrahma who has a shot deflected out of play.
West Ham 0 - 0 Tottenham
60 mins: Cresswell is fouled over to the left of the Tottenham penalty area and West Ham have the chance to send the free kick into the box. It would be a good time for them to score after Romero’s recent shenanigans.
Cresswell swings the ball into the middle of the box but it’s dealt with easily enough by Tottenham.
West Ham 0 - 0 Tottenham
57 mins: Here we go. Cresswell sends the ball down the left wing and picks out Fornals. He weaves around Emerson Royal before getting taken out by Cristian Romero. Fornals stays down and Romero gives him a few verbals. Fornals doesn’t like what’s been said and the two players square up to each other. Their teammates flock over to split them up. This should add a bit of spice to the game. Romero is shown a yellow card.
West Ham 0 - 0 Tottenham
54 mins: A lack of communication between Hojbjerg and Son. Kane is given the ball on the edge of the box but Ogbonna nips in the pord the ball away from the England captain. It comes to Hojbjerg who’s expecting a run into the left side of the box from Son and chips the ball over the top. Son came inside instead and they both look at each other quizically as Fabianski collects the ball.
West Ham 0 - 0 Tottenham
51 mins: Close! Ndombele slots a pass into Moura who works it out wide for Reguilon. Tottenham have plenty of men in the box as the cross comes in but Skipp starts his run too soon and he gets in front of the ball before it reaches him. West Ham send the ball out for a corner but Son’s delivery is easily dealt with by the home side.
West Ham 0 - 0 Tottenham
48 mins: Tottenham start the second half on the front foot. Skipp threads a lovely pass into the right side of the box where Ndombele runs in behind Cresswell. He sends the ball across the penalty area hoping to pick out Kane but Fabianski dives at the ball and plucks it out of the air for West Ham.
Second half: West Ham 0 - 0 Tottenham
Kick off: No changes for either team at the break. Tottenham are yet to draw a game under Nuno Espirito Santo, they’re are the only team left in the Premier League that haven’t drawn a match this season.
The Hammers restart the action.
Man Utd vs Liverpool
It was in doubt as to whether Bruno Fernandes would be fit enough to play for Manchester United but it seems he is fit to play against Liverpool later today.

Manchester United, Mauricio Pochettino and what might have been
It is eerily quiet in the southwest of the French capital. The Parc des Princes has been fully vacated with the hot-dog sellers trolleying home and the neighbouring restaurants shuttering up.
Right here, through the silence in the shadow of the stadium, screams a fact: Paris is the location where two of Manchester United’s biggest decisions in recent years were made, which ultimately led to it becoming the home of former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.
This was not how it was designed to be. This still feels… off.

The Paris Saint-Germain manager has twice been considered the perfect man to take charge by United, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a habit of producing results when he needs them most
