Striker Son Heung-min scored twice as Tottenham Hotspur rose to fifth in the Premier League table with a 3-1 win over West Ham United on Sunday that left them three points off the top four and the chance of Champions League football next season.
The afternoon got off to a terrible start for Hammers defender Kurt Zouma when he steered Harry Kane's low centre to Son into the net in the ninth minute, the 10th own goal of the season that Spurs have benefited from.
It got worse for the French centre-back midway through the first half as Son made it two for Spurs, collecting a defence-splitting pass from Kane before firing a left-foot shot that glanced Zouma's outstretched leg before looping into the net.
Said Benrahma pulled one back for West Ham in the 35th minute but Korean Son scored again in the 88th to secure a win that lifts Spurs to fifth on 51 points, three ahead of the Hammers, who slip to seventh, and three behind fourth-placed Arsenal.
