Premier League Table: Week 36 Points After West Ham vs. Spurs, Updated Fixtures

Rob BlanchetteMay 5, 2017

Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League challenge evaporated at West Ham United as they were defeated 1-0 on Friday night.

Manuel Lanzini's strike in the second half was enough for the Hammers, leaving Chelsea just two victories away from being crowned as champions.

Spurs were nowhere near their best on their travels and they allowed West Ham to attack them during a mediocre defensive display.

Friday Recap

Chelsea fans had to be celebrating at full-time as Spurs were not up to the challenge during their visit to West Ham.

The Lilywhites were miles off their best form in east London, as the Hammers banged the nails in Tottenham's Premier League challenge.

An arduous first half saw neither side take advantage of brief chances presented to them, but Spurs appeared fatigued compared to the hosts.

Heung-Min Son almost broke the deadlock at the start of the second half, but West Ham defended with vigour and played with confidence.

Lanzini was the goal hero for West Ham in the 65th minute, lashing the ball home from close range to beat goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Andrew Gaffney of Yahoo Sport UK paid tribute to manager Slaven Bilic and his men:

Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen failed to effectively link up in the second half, clearly frustrated by the work of the hosts.

The defeat breaks a nine-game winning streak for Spurs and all but hands the Premier League title to Chelsea on a plate.
