Tottenham have one last punt at an equaliser before half time, but Rose is denied a cross by the West Ham defence. They persist with their attacks, but Randolph remains relatively untested.
HALF TIME
It's been an incredibly frustrating first half for the home side, with the visitors snatching an advantage with a powerful header from Antonio against the run of play.
Pochettino's men responded well, but it wasn't enough and The Hammers enter the break with a one goal lead. Nonetheless, you have to salute the persistence of Bilic's men. They've looked strong at the back and threatening on the counter attack.
And we're off...
West Ham kick-off to begin to begin the second half.

It's an upbeat start to the second half. Payet breaks into the Spurs penalty area and it looks although he is going to pull the trigger but Vertonghen slides in to save the day for the home side.

GOAL
TOTTENHAM 1 - 1 WEST HAM
What a response that is from Pochettino's men. And it's Harry Winks on his Premier League debut, at just 20 years old. A strike is parried into his path in the six yard box, but he's in the right place at the right time, to simply slot the ball home.
It's all level. Game on.

YELLOW CARD
Walker receives a yellow card for a challenge into the back of Payet.
56 MINS
Winks finds Walker down the right hand side, who whips a ball towards Kane at the back post. It meets the head of Kane, who then claims that the West Ham defender hand balled the ball inside of the area. Referee flags play on.
58 MINS
Since the goal, Spurs seem to have came out of their shell and are playing with purpose now. The Hammers are under constant attack and will need to step it up a gear if they want to maintain this scoreline.
