Carroll winner sets West Ham up for Tottenham clash
West Ham 2-1 West Brom
Andy Carroll celebrates his opening goal against West Brom

WEST HAM nicked a late winner last night to run out winners in this keenly fought relegation battle at the London stadium and give them momentum heading into tonight’s London derby with Tottenham.

Hammers manager David Moyes acknowledged his side’s good fortune in getting the result against West Brom with a last-gasp injury-time goal from Andy Carroll.

“It didn’t look likely for long periods but we kept at it. We were poor in the first half so changed it a bit in the second half, getting 15 yards further up the pitch,” said Moyes, who felt his team deserved the result after losing out to a controversial late goal against Bournemouth and an offside one in the last home game versus Newcastle. “It was time something went for us,” he said.
