HT 1-0 Spurs mostly dominating but for all their possession (76%) clear-cut chances have been rare. Porro excellent. West Ham mostly playing like a lower league underdog in a cup tie, defending deep and narrow and trying for the odd counter. Paqueta had a golden chance though.
Spurs have a really aggressive rest defence, pushing Romero and Davies close to the West Ham box in-possession. Means WHU have a huge distance to cover to reach Spurs goal on counters.
Just as it looked like the game may settle into a frustratingly dull pattern with West Ham putting 11 behind the ball, up pops the returning Romero to plonk home a header from a corner. That's 1-0 Spurs.
GOAL! Spurs 1 West Ham 0 (Romero 11'). Great header from an outswinging Son corner. Spurs have started really well and a goal's been coming pretty much since kick-off.
