What Declan Rice said to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg during Tottenham victory over West Ham

Tottenham moved back into the top four with a 2-0 win over West Ham on Sunday afternoon. Spurs broke the deadlock against the Hammers with 57 minutes played when Ben Davies combined with fellow wing-back Emerson Royal, who side-footed home.

The Lilywhites doubled their advantage with 18 minutes left when Son Heung-min slotted home. Harry Kane played in the substitute, who drilled in for his ninth goal of the season.

"It was a tough week, especially after the game against Leicester," Spurs defender Ben Davies said after the game. "We had a few home truths amongst ourselves and I thought today we rectified that, we were solid, we worked hard, and I’m happy with the win."

While the result propels Tottenham into fourth position, it was a moment that occurred at the end of the match which may have been missed by a number of supporters. Hammers midfielder Declan Rice was involved in a heated exchange with Spurs star Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg.

Several words were said between the pair and at one stage Rice appeared to say, 'I don't like you' to the Denmark international. One fan even took to twitter to react to the incident after it was picked up by the Sky Sports cameras.

They said: "Declan Rice to Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg: 'I don’t like you, I don’t like you!' (laughing emojis)." Another said: "Rice giving it the big man after strolling round the pitch all game. Don’t pretend like you care."
