lanzini equaliser against spurs
Corner comes in, Lukasz Fabianski comes flapping at a corner and gets nowhere, Tanganga heads it back into the middle, it drops for Kane, who drills for goal, but it is blocked. Good climb from Dawson to meet a corner but his header is tipped over the bar by Lloris. Referee Craig Pawson brings play back to caution Hojbjerg for a late tackle on Lingard. The same can't be said of Tottenham's European aspirations, however. And injury time, the woodwork came to West Ham's rescue again when Vladimir Coufal's clearance bounced off Heung-min Son only to loop over Fabianski and onto the foot of the post. 65 mins: Brilliant corner from Bale and an even better glancing header from his Brazilian team-mate. So Gareth Bale starts from the bench after his starring role in midweek with a Europa League goal and assist against Wolfsberger. Antonio tried to link up with Jesse Lingard, but the loanee's return pass has too much on it. Bale had not even had a touch and Spurs are further behind. The low curler is easily defended at the near post and Mourinho is getting animated on the touchline. Lingard powers through and smashes in a brilliant effort into the far corner. The defending all day has left much to be desired. Right then, time to settle in for a mammoth Sunday session, starting with an intriguing London derby. First booking for a West Ham player and he is unlucky as he appears to get the ball when tackling Kane. Tickets: Barclays Premier League official site, 'That's a bad rumour' - Son Heung-min rubbishes talk Jose Mourinho has lost Tottenham dressing room. Lots of Spurs pressure here. Great cross from Son, but Diop just about heads clear. Plenty of corners coming in. Plenty to ponder for Mourinho but the Hammers are the real deal. Mourinho is getting increasingly frustrated and Craig Pawson has gone over to have a word with him, way out of the technical area. 17 mins: Moura weaves some magic to earn a corner and there a nasty clash of heads involving Soucek as the Hammers desperately try to scramble it away. It is just not clicking for Spurs art the moment as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's pass goes straight out of play. The shot rockets into the bar and would have been a spectacular goal. Bale with an effort from distance, but he doesn't connect well and Fabianski gathers easily. The Hammers have won three more points in 2020-21 (42) than they did in the entire 2019-20 season (39).

Mourinho wouldn't have been doing any cartwheels at half-time - but there was enough encouragement that there was something in this game for Tottenham. Â. The hosts have fourth in their sights.

POST! Lingard with a brilliant finish to make it two. OUCH! Oh so close for Spurs as they flicked it around the edge of the box and caused a panic. Change here for West Ham, and it is Ledley King's cousin, Ben Johnson, who replaces Fornals. Not that Moyes gave two hoots about the circumstances. 45 + 2 mins: Kane drills one through the legs of a defender and Fabianski comes up with the stop. Fornals is the latest player in the book for a high boot.

Bowen whips in a dangerous ball and for some reason Dier sits off it, Antonio gets a toe on it but Lloris keeps it out from close range, the ball falls back nicely for the West Ham striker and he smashes it into the empty net. They went agonisingly close to snatching a draw, twice hitting the woodwork in the closing stages after Lucas Moura halved the deficit. Not much sign of Bale making an impact yet. West Ham doing all the pressing still, as they line up a free-kick in a dangerous position. This is a West Ham team moulded in the Scot's persona: bursting with perseverance and grit. Right in the gonads. This was the second half Mourinho had envisaged; Bale's influence was growing while Kane was getting closer - another effort in the 73rd minute whizzing inches past the post. Spurs A look at how long each Tottenham player has remaining on their current deals at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Chelsea supporters suffer blow ahead of FA Cup semi-final against Man City Chelsea Spectators will reportedly not be allowed inside Wembley to watch the Blues take on Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals The worrying reality for Jose Mourinho is this result was almost predicable. The visitors were finding it tough to get into the game at one down so now it feels like they have a mountain to climb. Alexandre Lacazette rises to head in Arsenal's equaliser towards the end of an ... We got a good result against Spurs without the fans and hope that’s the case today.” ... Lanzini… On second glance, that initial assertion was slightly unfair. Lingard slips through Bowen but just overpowers his pass. Diop is the next player in the book for a foul on Lucas. Dele Alli's reintegration into the first-team fold continued in the 77th minute when he was introduced in place of left-back Sergio Reguilon - a clear statement of Mourinho's intentions. seasons. He's so close but as has been the case all afternoon, the ball goes the wrong side of the post for him. What wasn't up for debate, however, was the menace in Bowen's inswinging cross. SAVE! He's mopping up everything this afternoon. Mourinho will point towards his team's continued participation in the Europa League and their forthcoming Carabao Cup final against Manchester City as reasons for positivity. He squeezes a ball wide to Son who cuts it back on a plate for Moura who blazes it into row Z, decent chance spurned. Plenty of the ball, plenty of probing - but the final product was, frankly, disappointing. 70 mins: Bale is at the heart of things again and looks sharp around the outside of the box. Would have been the most fortuitous equaliser! Tomas Soucek came off much worse from a challenge in that melee. Tottenham have lost four of five without Reguilon so his return to the side today is a massive plus for Mourinho, he's so important for the way Spurs want to attack and Kane, also back in action, will be particularly please to see the Spaniard back. The 2016–17 season was Arsenal's 25th in the Premier League and 97th consecutive season in the top flight of English football. Subs: Hart, Doherty, Alderweireld, Winks, Bale, Sissoko, Alli, Davies, Vinicius. Fornals the latest player in to the congested referee's book. The club participated in the Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup and the UEFA Champions League.. Goodbye. CHANCE! It certainly wasn't a surprise. Painfully close for Spurs. Two half time changes for Mourinho. In the end he cuts across the ball and it swerves wide of the post, the first real chance for the visitors. Bale does brilliantly to find Kane in acres of space and three players are sprinting towards goal. It doesn't have quite enough bend on it and Fabianski sees it whistle past his post. Right call, with Lingard firing his third since arriving on loan from Manchester United. Well defended this time though. Lifeline. Kane and Pochettino struck up a close relationship over five-and-a-half years in north London and the pair still speak regularly, with Kane congratulating Pochettino on his new job last month. The Hammers midfielder, following an initial assessment on the pitch, was escorted back down the tunnel for treatment before being reintroduced seven minutes after the clash; Moyes deciding against making a concussion substitute despite Tottenham's numerical advantage while Soucek was patched up. Brilliant from Kane again to make an attempt out of nothing, but his drilled strike is just wide of the post. It is a double change with Matt Doherty also on. Bale almost with a superb equaliser. Lovely clipped pass from Fornals into Cresswell but the full-back's control lets him down. 27 mins: Bowen handballs it from a Reguilon cross and Son delivers a free kick just outside the box on the angle. CLOSE! 89 mins: Spurs are throwing bodies forward now but so far West Ham are holding firm. Not that Spurs managed to make playing against 10 men count. Jose Mourinho celebrated his first Tottenham win at West Ham... Harry Kane could be reunited with old boss Mauricio... David Moyes insists having Declan Rice at West Ham pushes... {"id":"9278515","channel":"/sport","pageUrl":"https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9278515/West-Ham-vs-Tottenham-Premier-League-2020-21-Live-result.html","status":"running","greenBox":{"body":""},"modifiedOrder":1}, Kane could reunite with Pochettino as PSG 'plot £150million swoop', Mourinho's first Tottenham win came at West Ham but he returns at risk. 42 - All 42 of Michail Antonio's Premier League goals have come from inside the box - in the competition's history, only Tim Cahill (56), Chicharito (53) and Gabriel Jesus (45) have scored more with all of them coming from inside the box. There should be a few minutes added on. David Moyes says he wants to take West Ham to the next level after they beat West Brom to move within two points of a Champions League place. Hands in his pockets, Mourinho cut a forlorn figure. Spurs have been solid but only forced a couple of saves out of Fabianski and West Ham have been pretty comfortable. The ball trickles towards Ndombele but Diop is on hand to smash away for a corner. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his side's performance will "give me nightmares" after the Gunners came from 3-0 down to draw with West Ham in … A neat stepover and delivery from the South Korean did the trick but the chance comes and goes for Spurs. After being picked out by Kane on the edge of the box, he rifled one for the top corner, but his brilliant strike clips the top of the crossbar and flies over. West Ham will be very comfortable with Spurs being limited to those chances. West Ham had to endure a brief VAR check, but that was merely delaying the inevitable. Fornals had been flagged offside as he went for the ball Lingard nudged through, but he was level, as Lingard stole in ahead of his team-mate to score. His players, though, weren't prepared to cave. SAVE! Who's the angry … He is on the bench alongside Dele Alli, but Sergio Reguillon does make the starting XI. Low cross is blocked as far as Lucas, but his effort flies well over the top. And, in fairness to Mourinho, having slumped to a two goal deficit, thanks to goals from Michail Antonio and Jesse Lingard, Tottenham didn't down tools. Moyes isn't perfect (mainly gives so-called 'big teams' too much respect) but he is … West Ham are not content to sit on the lead either. Spurs looking to exert themselves on the game with some possession. The hosts are doing a really good job of crowding Tottenham out here whenever Spurs get forward. West Ham in the hunt for more here with more good work from Antonio working space for the cross, he aims for Bowen, but Spurs scramble it clear. The comments below have not been moderated. Lanzini broke Spurs hearts with a 94th minute equaliser the last time these two met here. 2 - Lucas Moura has scored in back-to-back appearances for Tottenham in all competitions for the first time since August 2018. Son tees up Lucas really well, but the Brazilian blazes over. Play has now stopped as blood is pouring from Soucek's face, we may be looking at a concussion sub here. Had Lingard's pass been slightly more accurate, Antonio would have added a second six minutes later before Harry Kane wasted two opportunities to level in quick succession, his first effort from Erik Lamela's pass thrashed wide before Craig Dawson produced a brave block to deny the England captain. They've been playing so well and the goal came out of nowhere really. This season it doesn't arrive! Spurs have struggled to that early opener from Antonio. Not that either of these two are particularly known for the beauty of their football but conditions are perfect this afternoon, feels like spring is on the way. 33 mins: We're used to seeing Tottenham sit back and break, staying in their shape before working the chances on the counter but today West Ham are taking exactly that approach. Fabianski could only watch it ricochet to safety. Spurs have space and Kane has the option of Son to his left but decides to take a touch and aim for the corner. That is just what the doctor ordered for Spurs and now it could be an awkward one for West Ham. Defeats to West Ham are always tough to swallow for those with Spurs connections - but when you've lost five out of your previous six Premier League matches the consequences resonate so much more profoundly. In contrast, David Moyes' position as West Ham head coach is one of the safest in the top flight - or at least it should be. The club's formative roots stretch back to their formation as a professional side in 1900, but … 7 mins: Antonio almost turns provider this time down the left, sticking in a teasing ball and Bowen almost manages to get on the end of it. Mourinho is furious after Reguilon is penalised for a foul. Tottenham were 3-0 up with 10 minutes remaining in the reverse fixture against West Ham this season, but ended up drawing 3-3. Indeed, the introduction of Gareth Bale, in place of Lamela, at half-time a signal of Mourinho's intent. CLOSE! #WHUTOT pic.twitter.com/lpiGzpvMog. GGGGGOOOOOOAAAALLLL!!! Hammer blow for Spurs. Jose Mourinho won his first game with Spurs at West Ham but, fast forward 15 months, he returns to east London with no momentum at all and at risk of losing his job. Premier League surprise package West Ham have a solid, settled line-up and we'll see if Jesse Lingard can keep up his bright start on loan. Lingard is on fire and continues his great start to life at London Stadium. Jose Mourinho remains in control though, apparently... HEAD TO HEAD: West Ham have lost each of their last three home league games against Spurs, their longest losing run at home against them in their league history. He'll also point to their encouraging attempts at a second half comeback here at the London Stadium as reasons for hope. Jarrod Bowen whips the cross in, Eric Dier and Japhet Tanganga fail to attack it, Hugo Lloris makes a mess of trying to gather, and Antonio pokes home from close range.
