(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur secured a 3-2 victory at West Ham United on Saturday, having survived a late comeback from their London rivals and played the last 20 minutes with 10 men. Serge Aurier was then dismissed for a second booking, before Cheikhou Kouyate ensured a nervy finish for Spurs after netting with three minutes to go. Spurs held on, however, for a fifth successive away win - equalling a club record for victories on the road - a success that piles the pressure on West Ham boss Slaven Bilic. After the break, Tottenham continued to control proceedings, and it was not long before Eriksen made it three. That galvanised the hosts, with Kouyate heading home Arthur Masuaku’s cross with three minutes to go, but an equaliser failed to materialise and Spurs held on.
