'You can't beat that feeling' - West Ham's Bilic after defeat of Spurs

This is a modal window.

Tottenham faltered in their quest to catch Chelsea as they suffered a surprise defeat to West Ham.

LONDON -- Slaven Bilic says nothing can beat the feeling of West Ham's 1-0 win against Tottenham at the London Stadium on Friday night.

Manuel Lanzini's second-half goal earned the Hammers a 1-0 home win over their fiercest rivals for the second-consecutive season and all but ended Spurs' slim hopes of pipping Chelsea to the Premier League title.

Spurs came into the match on the back of nine straight victories and looking to close the gap to the league leaders to one point, but they were subdued against a well-drilled and fired-up Hammers team.
