Son Heung-min added his first league goal since January 4th within four minutes of coming on
They continued to set the pace, winning two corners within five minutes. Shortly after the second of them, Soucek won possession cleanly from Davies and missed a presentable opportunity to square for Michail Antonio. When Oliver Skipp attempted to demonstrate equivalent bite for Spurs, he scythed into Antonio and was rightly booked for an unpleasant challenge.
West Ham packed bodies behind the ball but were happy enough to throw them forward if space opened up. In the 18th minute a Bowen cross-shot was only inches beyond the sliding Downes and, in general, they were sharper to the second ball. As the half-hour passed there was no faulting the tempo from either side but little sign of a goal, the lack of flair in both starting XIs proving self-fulfilling.
As the interval approached he finally succeeded to some extent, floating a ball over the defence for Richarlison, sent slightly wide, to demand a save from Fabianski’s legs. Clément Lenglet headed the resulting corner on to the roof of the net. It was by a distance the most exciting sequence of the first half.
