Tottenham overcame Manuel Pellegrini's West Ham to climb to third in the Premier League table in a tight game with few clear cut chances.
West Ham dominated possession in an end-to-end first half, with both sides guilty of wasting opportunities in the final third. Spurs grew into the game after a slow start however, and took the lead through Erik Lamela, as the midfielder ghosted away from his man to nod home Moussa Sissoko's deft cross.
West Ham pushed for an equaliser in the second half, but found a resolute Spurs defence tough to break down. With the game entering the final 10 minutes, substitute Javier Hernández thought he'd found the leveller as he slotted into an empty net from Marko Arnautovic's cut-back, only to see the offside flag raised.
