Son Heung Min secured a 2-0 victory for Tottenham in the London derby against West Ham. With three additional points, Tottenham surpassed Newcastle to stand in 4th place in the Premier League.
Newcastle's defeat to Liverpool created a significant opportunity for Tottenham to step into the top 4 of the Premier League, provided that Conte's team wins against their city rival, West Ham, in the 24th round of the Premier League. West Ham's current form is not good, and the team has fallen into the relegation zone before entering the derby match with Tottenham.
The first half was closely contested, with Tottenham having slightly more ball control and more shots on goal than the away team. However, the visiting team did not create many truly dangerous opportunities. Tottenham only had two shots on target in the first half, which were not difficult for the West Ham goalkeeper, Fabianski. In fact, West Ham did not even manage to get a shot on target.
The turning point of the match came in the 56th minute. Tottenham's players made accurate passes that tore apart the visiting team's defense. Davis assisted Emerson to shoot the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal, leaving Fabianski standing still and watching the ball go into the net.
After scoring, Tottenham's players played quite comfortably. In the 71st minute, Kane fought well and made an advantageous pass to Son Heung Min, who broke free to face Fabianski. The South Korean striker shot the ball across the goal, making it impossible for the West Ham goalkeeper to save.
The two-goal lead allowed Tottenham's players to relax. Although West Ham tried to control the ball more than in the first half, they were unable to make a comeback. The visiting team's attacks were weak, so they could not challenge Tottenham's defense, and they only managed to get one shot on target in the second half.
With the three points from the 24th round of the Premier League, Tottenham now have 42 points and have surpassed Newcastle to rise to 4th place in the standings. West Ham is now stuck in 18th place with 20 points.
