English Premier League: Tottenham 1 - West Ham 1

World
Europe

Over to football, and a London derby as Tottenham hosted West Ham at Wembley. Spurs needing a home win to try and move into the Champions League spots, coming into the match in fifth, one place away where they needed to be. The Hammers, in desperate need of points as they are just a point above the drop.

Christian Eriksen almost breaks the deadlock on the stroke of half-time for Spurs with a searing strike that Adrian tips over the bar. Tottenham dominate the play but fail to convert.

Mauricio Pochettino's men would rue those missed chances, as in the 70th minute, Spanish midfielder Pedro Obiang unleashes a blistering strike past Hugo Lloris into the top corner for only his second goal of the season. Not quantity, but quality.

But Son Heung-Min has the perfect response. In the 84th minute, from 25 yards out, the South Korean's rocket clears Mark Noble's and leaves Adrian with no chance as it flashes past him. His sixth goal in his last nine appearances earns Tottenham a 1-1 draw. Both goals among the top strikes of the season. Tottenham stay fifth in the standings.
