TOTTENHAM 1 WEST HAM 1Son Heung-min and Pedro Obiang each scored a stunner as Tottenham were held by West Ham to a 1-1 draw at Wembley. The draw leaves Mauricio Pochettino's side three points short of Liverpool in fourth, while West Ham climb to 15th, three points clear of the relegation zone. West Ham made three changes too, as the injured trio of Marko Arnautovic, Andy Carroll and Aaron Cresswell made way for Mark Noble, Javier Hernandez and Declan Rice. After surviving the early onslaught, however, West Ham settled in, cementing 11 players in their own half and showing little interest even in the occasional chance of a counter. With 70 minutes gone, Tottenham had reeled off 20 shots without success, so it was an even crueller blow when West Ham scored with their first.
