Jaw-dropping European win
Close game goes Spurs way
West Ham 0-1 Tottenham
by Paul Donovan
at London Stadium
SPURS ran out narrow winners of this tightly fought London derby.
The first half saw both sides show a lot of endeavour, without much end product.
West Ham’s best effort saw a Andriy Yarmolenko cut back struck sweetly by Robert Snodgrass but pushed aside by Spurs stopper Hugo Lloris.
