Tottenham continue to dream of fourth place. This Sunday evening, the Spurs beat West Ham (3-1), during the 30th day of the Premier League. At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Spurs struck from the start, with a first goal from Kurt Zouma once morest his side (9th) before Heung-Min Son made the break (24th) then finally put his team away ( 88th). For the Hammers, Saïd Benrahma had reduced the mark (35th). In the English championship standings, Antonio Conte’s men, who still have one game less, are fifth, three behind Arsenal, while David Moyes’ proteges slip to seventh position.
The Harry Kane – Heung-Min Son duo did their thing once more in this London derby. Now, since the beginning of their association, the two men have found themselves victoriously 39 times. The English international did not score, but he found himself involved in the three goals scored by his team. From the outset, on a cross, he already wanted to find his South Korean teammate, but the latter’s pressure forced Kurt Zouma to score once morest his side (9th, 1-0). Tottenham have benefited from six own goals in the Premier League this season. They are the first team since Swansea in 2013-14 (8) to benefit as much in the same campaign.

Kane has found Son on more than half of his Premier League assists
Kane then did it once more, with a marvelous pass in the run of Son, who finally scored his goal, coming to lodge his ball in the opposite corner (24th, 2-0). Finally, at the very end of the game, Harry Kane was once once more transformed into a decisive passer. Following a long clearance from Hugo Lloris, the striker launched his partner with a header, which then went once more to deceive Lukasz Fabianski, very alone (88th, 3-1).
Harry Kane is now directly involved in 50 goals in the London Premier League derbies (39 goals, eleven assists), he is only the third player to reach this milestone in the competition, following Thierry Henry (55) and Frank Lampard (50). As for his assists, more than half of them in the Premier League have now been delivered for Heung-Min Son (20/39).
West Ham’s central defense foiled
As for Fabianski, he ensured that the score was not heavier, ahead of Kane (51st) as well as once morest Sergio Reguilon (76th). At the very start of the game, the last bulwark of the Hammers was nevertheless very happy to see his post repel Son’s attempt, decidedly on a very big day (11th).
Overall, the Polish goalkeeper was hardly helped by his central defense, made up of Craig Dawson and Kurt Zouma, both caught at fault on three goals. The Hammers tried to react and thought they might come back when Saïd Benrahma reduced the gap, from a corner (35th, 2-1). But, despite a rhythmic and pleasant game, David Moyes’ men never managed to solicit Lloris a second time.
West Ham remain in ambush in the race for Europe, but no longer really have the right to make mistakes. As for the Spurs, they are now more than ever eyeing this fourth place, currently occupied by Arsenal. It is precisely once morest the Gunners that Antonio Conte’s men have a late game to play.
