Dele Alli is the salami in a Chris Smalling-Eric Bailly sandwich, which earns Spurs a free-kick...

Daley Blind puts in a vicious cross but it sails out of play at the other side.

Danger averted by the hosts.

United have started the second period on top and get a corner straight away.

Can they capitalise on it?

And we are off and running again in the second half.

Jose Mourinho furiously scribbling notes in his book, with Rui Faria peering over his shoulder.

The man who holds the White Hart Lane wallet, Daniel Levy, is buzzing after seeing Chas & Dave make an appearance on the pitch.

Imagine Levy with his hair brush, in front of his bedroom mirror...

What dreams are made of.............

You can watch it from the BBC archive here

Cockney duo Chas & Dave are on the pitch during the interval at White Hart Lane.

They get a rapturous reception from the home crowd.

Are they about to smash out Snooker Loopy...?

West Ham United

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic believes his players can use a difficult debut campaign at London Stadium to their benefit next season.

"It was a very difficult season, a very long one. We had many, many obstacles. We needed time to adjust to the stadium but we knew that we would," said the Croatian.

"We had too many injuries throughout the season, that's why I would like to give credit to the players. I think we will benefit long term from this season and from the knowledge and experience."

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "It was a fantastic game but difficult. At the end it was amazing but the start was not that good. After that we controlled the game and took our chances. 

"We scored some really nice goals but in the first half West Ham had big, big chances - especially to equalise before half-time. It was really unlucky for West Ham, but it was really lucky from our position. West Ham have not had too much luck this season.

"We deserved the three points."

On Daniel Sturridge starting and scoring his first goal since 2 January: "Each player in the world, even great players like Daniel, needs training. It was nice we could build over the last few weeks and then bring him in. You see him around the box with his smartness, he was fantastic. 

"Hopefully we will go through this week without injuries. Maybe Roberto Firmino will play against Middlesbrough."

A quick look at the manager reaction after Liverpool thrashed West Ham earlier this afternoon...

I'll tell you what, I take my hat off to Kieran Trippier. He has obviously kept himself in good nick. He hasn't got his head down. He hasn't got disillusioned or frustrated. 

He has come in with a great attitude and he is going to have a big part to play if things with Kyle Walker work out the way they are expected to. 

It's been all Tottenham - they've had three or four great chances. Should certainly be more than a goal up - probably should be game over but it's not.   

There goes the half time whistle, Spurs lead but United will be pleased that it is only one that they have let in.

And still Spurs cannot get their second.

Harry Kane is played through on goal and from the angle, forces David de Gea into another important stop.

The United goalkeeper keeping his side in the game.

Have some of that son.

United string a few quick passes together and Axel Tuanzebe is looking to pull the trigger from the edge of the box, but Eric Dier comes hurtling back to slide in with a perfectly-time sliding challenge.

Superb defending.

Wayne Rooney is treading on the thinnest of thin ice.

He climbs all over Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier and referee Jon Moss awards a free-kick.

Already on a yellow, the United captain throws him arms in the air and gives a few words back to the man in black.

He is pushing his luck...

A sniff at goal for Anthony Martial, he has not had much.

Spurs goalscorer Victor Wanyama gives the ball away, allowing the Frenchman to break into the opposition box, but Jan Vertonghen gets across to snuff out the danger.

Eric Bailly is playing, what looks like, the Antonio Valencia role.

He has been given the license to go up and down that right flank.

Five minutes to half time, still only 1-0 to Spurs.
