Tottenham Hotspur were beaten by West Ham United in the latest London derby, despite taking an early lead through Cristian Romero’s header. Jarrod Bowen equalised after the break and James Ward-Prowse condemned Spurs to a fourth defeat in five league games with his winner.

Unusually, it’s West Ham who have European commitments this season and Tottenham who do not, after David Moyes’ team triumphed in the Europa Conference League last term amid Tottenham’s domestic struggles.

Spurs have won just three of their last nine home midweek Premier League matches, having prevailed in 14 of their previous 15 such games.

Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United

Tottenham maintain the pressure following a corner. Porro plays a neat one-two with Lo Celso and looks for the far corner, but there is just too much elevation on his attempt.

We are off and running again as West Ham get the ball rolling once more.

Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United

Although they lead, Spurs will be disappointed not to be heading into the break with a healthier lead. Indeed, they dominated large periods of the first half with over three-quarters of the possession, while registering 13 shots on goal to their opponents' four.

Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United

Tottenham lead West Ham by a goal to nil at the midway point in this London derby. Romero marked his return from suspension by opening the scoring from a header in the 11th minute. The hosts almost went 2-0 up in first-half stoppage time, when Zouma turned Lo Celso's cross dangerously against his own post.

Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United

OFF THE POST! Almost an own-goal by Zouma! Tottenham push for a second goal and the ball is neatly worked out to Lo Celso, who fires it into the six-yard box. Having to cut it out, a sliding Zouma sees the ball ricochet off him and onto the left post with Fabianski beaten.

There will be two additional minutes played at the end of this first half.

Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United

We are into the final minute of regulation time in this first half. Can Tottenham hold out until the break or can West Ham find an equaliser?
