We don’t make it easy for ourselves… it couldn’t have possibly been a tense 1-0 win, it had to go through a grain of pain before the eventual last-minute heroic goal scored by Wilson, giving us a crucial three points, given Spurs’ victory against Wolves - their first in 2026.

An intense first half kicked us off, both sides battling tooth and nail with a combined 13 shots coming into the break, but none being on target - both teams struggled to sting the gloves of the other side.

West Ham: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Disasi, Diouf, Soucek, Fernandes, Summerville, Bowen (C), Taty, Pablo

West Ham United started the gameweek two points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur and has maintained the gap with this set of games.

Spurs’ difficulty defending in the closing stages, something that the Hammers have been victims of far too many times this season as well, fortunately saved West Ham, and we retained being in a position of safety before the Palace match had started.

A draw would be the final result, but three points could’ve gone towards either side - the point accumulated now begs the question, what is required to stay up?
