West Ham United welcomes Tottenham Hotspurs at the London Stadium in their English premier league fixture after a superb Europa league tie against Genk.
Tottenham Hotspurs who were favourites to win the league fixture however could not channel the chances they created into goals.
Holding majority of possession and pressing the home team for an opener which never materialised.
The first half ended goalless with Tottenham Hotspurs still looking favourites to win as they kept knocking on the goal of the Hammers.
Mikel Anthonio who seemed not to be having a good day in the pitch proved to be the most important man for West Ham United on the day as he scored the only goal in the game on the 72′ connecting to a fine cross from Aaron Cresswell.
The visitors threw everything at the Hammers but they defense was resilient until the end of the final whistle.
West Ham United came into the fixture a point adrift Tottenham Hotspurs on the league log before Anthonio’s goal that secured all vital points for the Hammers to move two points clear of Tottenham Hotspurs.
