Back in the top four
This was not a match for the purists but in the end two real moments of Tottenham quality against an increasingly stretched West Ham side made the difference and now the north London side find themselves - despite an inconsistent and difficult season - back in the top four.
It was not the ideal preparation with Antonio Conte remaining in his Turin home after admitting in his post-op check-up that he was still feeling pain in his stomach. However, credit has to go to his assistant head coach Cristian Stellini and first team coach Ryan Mason for once again picking up the pieces and leading the team to an important win.
