West Ham United

Adrian: 8 out of 10

West Ham: Little more than a spectator in the first half. Rarely called into action but pulled off a double save to deny Kane and Alderweireld.

Michail Antonio: 8

Rifled home a superb header early on. Looks at home in a right wing back position and caused Spurs a world of problems.

James Collins: 7

Matched Kane in the air time and again. The Welshman displayed reletenless commitment. Withdrawn due to injury.

Angelo Ogbonna: 8

The Italian defender produced a defensive display of the calibre his countryman have long been known for.

Aaron Cresswell: 7

Bombed forward at every opportunity. Shackled Lamela and ensured Trippier was unable to get many crosses into the box.

Pedro Obiang: 7

Worked tireslessly in the engine room to ensure Spurs were unable to settle on the ball. Embodied the Hammers' work rate.

Mark Noble: 7

Let fly from long range and was unfortunate to see his strike, which was heading for the top corner, saved. A composed presence throughout.

Cheikh Kouyate: 7

Spurs struggled to get to grips with the midfielder's power in the centre of the park. A real handful for anyone he came up against.

Manuel Lanzini: 7

The Argentine was full of nice flicks and touches. He worked well up alongside Emenike but was anthing but reluctant to track back too.

Dimitri Payet: 7

The new darling of Upton Park sparkled under the lights. The Frenchman was a constant meance and looked dangerous every time he received the ball.

Emmanuel Emenike: 8

Ran the channels dilligently and battled for every ball. His work rate helped those further back follow suit as Spurs struggled to find a rhythm. Afforded a rousing reception when he was withdrawn.

Substitutes

Reece Oxford: 6

Thrown in at the deep end but coped in daunting circumstances. The youngster's reputation will go up another notch.

Andy Carroll: 6

Brought on to close the game out and made himself a nuisance against a tiring defence.

Tottenham Hotspur

Hugo Lloris: 5

Got a hand to Antonio's header but could not keep it out. A very jittery display from a man who is usually Tottenham's most reliably lieutenant.

Kieran Trippier: 6

Had the hardest task of all; marking Payet. The full-back pushed forward when he could but got little change out of Cresswell.

Toby Alderweireld: 6

Booked after being caught out by Payet and left with no alternative. Afforded little time on the ball and was not his usual composed self.

Kevin Wimmer: 5

With Alderweireld off colour next to him, the Austrian faltered and looked all at sea under pressure. Booked.

Ben Davies: 6

With Antonio threatening at every opportunity, the Welshman failed to threaten in the final third and was hassled into errors.

Eric Dier: 5

Appeared to look immobile against the Hammers' fluid midfield and struggled to be the calming influence he has represented for most of the campaign.

Ryan Mason: 6

Put himself about in a fiercely contested midfield battle but looked off the pace at times as an injury ravaged season appeared to catch up with him.

Nacer Chadli: 5

Ineffective. The Belgian struggled to have any kind of meaningful impact and it was no surprise to see him withdrawn on the hour mark.

Christian Eriksen: 6

The Belgian threatened from wide areas but West Ham gobbled up his delivery constantly.

Erik Lamela: 5

Not his day. Played on with a nasty head wound but rarely threatened.

Harry Kane: 5

Struggled to get into the game. Hardly got a sniff of goal due to West Ham's switch to a back three and wasted the few chances that did fall his way.

Substitutes

Dele Alli: 5

Brought on with half an hour left but failed to turn the tide. Spurs missed his presence and drive badly.

Heung-min Son: 5

Could not be accused of a lack of effort but did not make a meaningful impact.
