    More from Son Heung-min to Sky Sports: "Before the international break it is always good to win the game and go away with a free mind. Hopefully we are ready to go again when we come back.

    "I just make the runs as an option for Kane. If he doesn't pass me the ball he might have the space to pass to someone else or to shoot.

    "It's incredible to have this striker next to me. I feel really sorry for him today that he didn't score. He looked sad. I feel sad for him as a striker, you want to score everything."

    Tottenham's Son Heung-min, speaking to Sky Sports:

    "From the start of the game we played really well first half we created so many chances. It's a massive three points before the international break so we are really happy.

    "It's obviously always tougher when you have a Thursday game and play 120 minutes and we knew when we moved the ball they would be tired.

    "We spoke about it but we didn't focus too much on them. We played our own performances. Bouncing back is always so, so important for your confidence and rhythm as well."

    Tottenham deserve this. They were the better team. Kane and Son were outstanding.

    By the way, Son Heung-min will not finish this game on the pitch. He has been replaced and received a standing ovation as he walked off.

    I'm not sure Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has experienced this level of noise before. It's off the scale. Antonio Conte's celebrations for the third goal were worth the admission fee alone.

    Zouma and Dawson go for the same ball and credit Kane he wins a great header.

    And Son is not going to miss the form he is in. Brilliant from Kane.

    Game. Set. And match.

    Son Heung-min is charging towards the West Ham net with only the keeper to beat. Will he keep his composure? Of course he does.

    He buries it past Lukasz Fabianski.

    The noise!

    It's backs to the wall for Spurs. In comes the corner but they cannot get it clear. Then a big roar as Hugo Lloris throws himself on top of the loose ball.

    Now it's West Ham who are enjoying a decent spell of possession. They're getting bodies forward and are finding more space.

    A huge roar from the away end as the Hammers win a corner.

    Jim: Sorry Spurs fans but with all these chances this game feels primed for one of those Spurs moments! West Ham to get at least a point.

    Michael: These misses will come back to haunt Spurs. Enough chances for four or even five. Watch as they draw or lose from here.

    Said Benrahma is threatening to muscle his way into the Spurs box but Cristian Romero keeps his cool to make a superb challenge and stop the danger. That was an excellent piece of defending.

    How have Tottenham not scored this third?

    You start to feel that they may rue these missed chances.

    I don't believe it, Kane's touch was perfect, but he can't get the ball under his feet so he had to poke it.

    That was a great chance.
