The Spurs beat West Ham 3-1, thanks to a brace from the South Korean, and have 3 points to recover over Arsenal, 4th, with 8 games to go
“Antonio, Antonio”. The fans cheer him on, Conte thanks them with a long applause. Tottenham dragged by Son’s brace, won 3-1 one of the London derbies with West Ham, finding the three points for the fourth time in the last five Premier League outings and putting the Champions-zone in the crosshairs. Eight days from the end, the Spurs are -3 from Arsenal, currently fourth in the standings: the Gunners, however, still have to recover two matches, Kane and teammates only one. Nothing to do, however, for the Hammers, who remain at 48, three of Conte’s team. Before the London derby, in the 30th round Leicester and Brentford also challenged each other: 2-1 the final result, with decisive goals from Maddison and the former Atalantino Castagne.

For the formation of Rodgers, still without the injured Vardy, half an hour and … two eurogols are enough to close the game, mortgaging three fundamental points to get back up after the elimination in the second round of the Conference League. At 20 ‘Leicester took the lead with Castagne who, served by Barnes, kicks with power from the edge of the area and puts the ball under seven. Thirteen minutes later, Maddison signs the double directly on a free kick, granted for a foul by Jensen: the number 10 of the Foxes crosses the barrier with his right foot and beats the opposing goalkeeper Raya. Wissa in the 85th minute rekindles the hopes of Brentford with a great right from distance, but the final result does not change.

More than a derby, it was a direct match, to make a sprint in the run-up to Europe and leave a competitor behind. After just 9 ‘, the Spurs (again with Bentancur and Kulusevski as owners) took the lead with an own goal from Zouma: Kane’s cross got behind Fabianski, due to a deflection by the French defender. The response of the Hammers comes immediately with Antonio, who in the 10 ‘sends the ball to the side of a possible tie. Tottenham is not satisfied and responds with Son who, after hitting a post in the 11th minute, signs the 2-0 in the 24th minute: the number 7 uses a filter from Kane to enter the area from the left, skip Zouma and overcome the goalkeeper with a powerful southpaw. At 35 ‘the Hammers shorten with Benrahma: on the development of a corner, Dawson extends his header for the Algerian, who controls and kicks in the goal a few steps away from Lloris. During the second half, Kane touches 3-1 twice: at 51 ‘Fabianski closes the door, at 80’ his lob goes high. One minute from the final whistle, the English striker redeems himself by serving Son the ball of the trio: on a relaunch by Lloris, the number 10 extends his head for the South Korean, who reaches the penalty area and stabs Fabianski.
