A lacklustre West Ham were completely outplayed in the opening half in which the returning Cristian Romero\u2019s header was scant reward for Tottenham\u2019s domination.<\/p>\n
But West Ham were much improved after the break and Jarrod Bowen\u2019s equaliser in the 52nd minute changed the complexion of the derby as Tottenham\u2019s early confidence ebbed away.<\/p>\n
Tottenham then self-destructed in the 74th minute when Destiny Udogie\u2019s under-hit back pass caused chaos and James Ward-Prowse tucked in a rebound after his initial shot rebounded back to him off the post.<\/p>\n
West Ham comfortably soaked up some late Tottenham pressure and held on for a victory that moved them within three points of their London rivals.<\/p>\n
Tottenham remain in fifth place with 27 points but have picked up only one point from their last five games having led 1-0 in all of them. West Ham are ninth with 24 points.<\/p>\n

Ange Postecoglou\u2019s side have just one point from their last five fixtures despite taking the lead in all of them.<\/span>Credit: <\/span>Getty<\/cite><\/p>\n Things don\u2019t get any easier for Spurs, who next host fellow Champions League aspirants Newcastle on Monday morning (AEDT), with Eddie Howe\u2019s side set to be smarting from a shock 3-0 defeat at Everton.<\/p>\n The Toffees profited from two Kieran Trippier errors to score late goals through Dwight McNeil, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Beto at Goodison Park to move out of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n It was a deserved win for the Merseysiders against a depleted Newcastle, who have now lost as many games this season \u2013 five \u2013 as in the whole of the last campaign, and with a long injury list that has left them with 12 players sidelined.<\/p>\n McNeil robbed Trippier of the ball before unleashing a powerful left-footed drive into the far corner of the net with 12 minutes remaining. The England full-back again lost possession and Jack Harrison\u2019s cross found Doucoure to side-foot home, before Beto\u2019s first Premier League goal came in stoppage time.<\/p>\n Sports news, results and expert commentary.<\/i><\/b> Sign up for our Sport newsletter<\/i><\/b>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Watch every match of the<\/b> UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League<\/b> and<\/b> UEFA Europa Conference League<\/b> on Stan Sport.
