EPL: West Ham 2-3 Tottenham

Brighton v Newcastle United preview

Harry Kane scored twice as Spurs overcame West Ham in a thrilling London derby at the London Stadium.

The away side opened the scoring in the 34th minute, when Dele Alli found some space to deliver a good cross into the box and Harry Kane was on hand to head the ball past Joe Hart.

It was two nil just four minutes later when Alli was played through on goal, but Hart was out quickly to save his shot, though the rebound ended up landing to Kane, who slotted home.

Mauricio Pochettino's side thought they had sealed the points on the hour mark when Christian Eriksen's precision shot on the half volley found the back of Hart's goal.

The home side pulled a goal back five minutes later when Javier Hernandez headed home and their hopes of a comeback were boosted when Serge Aurier was shown a second yellow card to reduce Spurs to ten.

Slaven Bilic's side then set up a grandstand finish with three minutes to go when Arthur Masuaku's teasing cross was powerfully headed home by Cheikou Kouyate, but Spurs hung on to go third in the table.

This is how the game played out:

Harry Kane scored twice in four first-half minutes and Spurs appeared to be cruising when Christian Eriksen added a third.

But Javier Hernandez pulled one back before Serge Aurier marked his full league debut with a needless red card.

Cheikhou Kouyate's powering 87th-minute header then set up a thrilling finish at the London Stadium but Tottenham dug deep for all three points.
