West ham v manchester united

 The honour of the first goal scored by an opposition player at the new White Hart Lane goes to Michail Antonio, so too the first celebration mimicking the riding of an imaginary horse down the touchline although history is much more likely to remember the former. The occasion of Tottenham Hotspur’s first defeat at their new home was a strange occasion for the Champions league semi-finalists whose energy looked spent, and their creative powers waning in the face of an old rival. West Ham’s stadium relocation had been every bit as dismal as Spurs was a success but their first visit to the new ground on Tottenham high road was at least a little bit of history for the away team. They weathered the best of what Spurs had to throw at them and would have scored more in the closing stages when both Antonio and substitute Angelo Ogbonna went clear on the counterattack and forced good saves out of Hugo Lloris. For their part Spurs finished with substitutes Fernando Llorente and … [Read more...] about Michail Antonio fires West Ham to victory and inflicts first defeat on Tottenham at new home

27 April 2019 • 2:26pm Auto update On Off 2:23PM Full time West Ham, the first visiting team to win at the Emirates, become the first to win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Thoroughly deserved, too. Issa Diop is Alan Smith's man of the match but it could have been Fredericsk, Balbuena, Noble, Snodgrass, Antonio or Felipe Anderson. My word they are flaky. Against Everton West Ham looked spineless. Today they were magnificent.  2:21PM 90+4 min Foyth keeps going and going up the right and chips a cross beyond the far post. Janssen stretches to get there and directs his header inside the near post but Balbuena hacks it clear. And that is that.  2:19PM 90+2 min Tottenham have four added minutes to preserve their unbeaten record at their new home. West ham so far have done well to pen them in their own half. A long ball up by Spurs is headed on by Llorente. Son can[t get there but the clearance arrives awkwardly at … [Read more...] about Michail Antonio fires West Ham to victory and inflicts first defeat on Tottenham at new home: live updates

27 April 2019 • 1:02pm Auto update On Off 1:02PM 32 min Tottenham have two great targets for their forward passes when Lucas Moura and Son split but the precision in attempts to get it up to them during this past 10 minutes has been Awol.  1:00PM 30 min Dier's passing has been poor so far and here is picked off for a second time. West Ham are battling tenaciously in midfield and Noble and Rice covering an awful lot of ground.  12:58PM 28 min Snodgrass protests his booking, awarded for a mistimed sliding tackle on Lucas Moura. Again they defend the kick well. Not sure why he bothered to complain. Habit? Convention? It was indisputable.  12:56PM 26 min A lapse from Rice, confused about who he's supposed to pick up, allows Lucas Moura to flood into the space he leaves and whelp a low right-foot shot across goal and behind. It missed by a good 4ft at least.  12:55PM 24 min Diop … [Read more...] about Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United, Premier League: live score updates
