Premier League: West Ham Beat Mourinho’s Tottenham, Climb To Fourth Position

Jose Mourinho admitted troubled Tottenham’s top-four hopes are in tatters after West Ham moved into fourth place with a 2-1 win on Sunday.

Mourinho’s side slumped to a fifth defeat in their last six Premier League games as they paid the price for a sloppy defensive display at the London Stadium.

Michail Antonio put West Ham in front early in the first half. His initial toe-poked effort was saved by Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris and the West Ham forward quickly got to his feet to stab in the rebound from close-range.

Jesse Lingard doubled the hosts’ advantage after the break after he broke clear of Tottenham’s statuesque rearguard to drive a fine finish into the far corner in the 47th minute.

An offside flag looked like it might spare Spurs, but a VAR review overturned the decision as Lingard belatedly celebrated his third goal since signing on loan from Manchester United.

Lucas Moura reduced the deficit with his first league goal since September, but spluttering Spurs were unable to salvage a point.

Gareth Bale’s corner arrowed towards Lucas at the near post and the Brazilian edged in front of his marker to glance a header past Lukasz Fabianski.

Bale almost equalised with a blistering effort from the edge of the area that cannoned off the bar.

Tottenham’s luck was out again in stoppage-time when the ball rebounded off Son but looped onto the post and bounced to safety.

West Ham climbed two points above Chelsea into the Champions League spots as their unexpected European challenge gathered pace with a seventh win in their last nine league matches.

It was a first triumph for West Ham boss David Moyes in 16 meetings with Mourinho.

And while Moyes has sparked a remarkable revival at West Ham, who were in a relegation battle when he arrived last season, Mourinho’s Tottenham are in the middle of a woeful campaign.

They are languishing in ninth and trail West Ham by nine points, albeit with a game in hand.

“It is very difficult to think about the top four. The top six teams are getting points. It will be very hard,” Mourinho said.

“The Europa League is a great motivation to get a Champions League spot and a trophy at the same time.”

Tottenham have already lost eight league games this season — the second-worst return of Mourinho’s career after losing nine with Chelsea in 2015-16.

Mourinho will have to turn the tide quickly to save his job after Tottenham’s latest flop.

“I feel sad, obviously. We started the game with a mistake and started the second half with another one,” Mourinho said.

“The team in the second half was trying absolutely everything. We were the team that tried to play but the boys were not lucky.”

On West Ham’s top four dreams, Moyes said: “We have only done half a job. If we continue this way we will be close. I don’t want to be negative in any way.

“We are enjoying it but are also not going to be daft. We will keep calm and hopefully keep pushing the teams at the top.

“This time last year you were asking me if we can avoid relegation so it is a great feeling that is gone.”
