Antonio Conte suggests some Tottenham players collapse under pressure

Tottenham moved into the Premier League’s top four as they returned to form with a 2-0 home win over West Ham that left their London rivals in the bottom three on Sunday.

There was little to separate the sides in a forgettable first half but Spurs stepped up the pace after the interval with goals by Emerson Royal and substitute Son Heung-min.

It was a big win for Tottenham following defeat at Leicester City and a midweek loss away to AC Milan in the Champions League and allowed them to leapfrog Newcastle United in the table.

Right back Emerson marked his 50th Premier League game by opening the scoring in the 56th minute from a Ben Davies pass.

Son, who has struggled for form this season and was left out of the starting lineup by Spurs’ stand-in manager Cristian Stellini, then linked with Harry Kane to double the advantage.

West Ham had started the derby brightly with Jarrod Bowen wasting an early chance but offered little and have now won only once in their last 11 league games with pressure mounting on manager David Moyes.

BLOCKED!!! Back come the hosts as Son tees up Kulusevski. His effort is blocked away, but Skipp arrives on the edge of the box, only for his first-time strike to also be deflected away!

Spurs can't find a way into the West Ham box, so Lenglet shoots from distance, but the ball takes a massive deflection, spiralling skyward before being claimed in the air by Fabianski.

West Ham are yet to win a game after going behind in the league this season, winning only three points (all from draws) after conceding the first goal. Ominous.

Having scored just once in his first 45 Premier League appearances for Tottenham, Emerson Royal has since netted two in his last five. Prolific.

Another Hammers corner is met by Soucek in the box, but his downward header deflects off Antonio's back before Romero hacks it clear for Spurs.
