Jose Mourinho told Tottenham Hotspur players at half-time that a win was crucial, names Hugo Lloris as his man of the match

Tottenham Hotspur grabbed their 12th victory of the Premier League campaign at the expense of West Ham United last night, with an own goal from Tomas Soucek and a Harry Kane strike handing them a 2-0 win. It saw Spurs close in on their rivals for next season’s Champions League berths, and boss Jose Mourinho has praised goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for his consistent and dominant performance, naming the Frenchman as his man of the match. West Ham attempted 10 shots, but only two found the target and the Tottenham skipper had no trouble keeping them out.
