Tottenham 1-2 West Ham: Wilson snatches last-gasp winner in London derby
Callum Wilson is heavily linked with a move away from West Ham, but he was their hero as they snatched a dramatic win against Tottenham.
Callum Wilson scored a stoppage-time winner to give West Ham a dramatic 2-1 victory over struggling Tottenham.
The Hammers ended their 10-game winless streak in the Premier League in memorable fashion on Saturday, while heaping further pressure on Spurs boss Thomas Frank.
West Ham struck first in the 15th minute, as Crysencio Summerville skipped inside a couple of challenges before beating a wrong-footed Guglielmo Vicario via a Micky van de Ven deflection.
Tottenham looked to respond, with Wilson Odobert and Djed Spence both denied by Alphonse Areola from close range.
At the other end, Nuno Espirito Santo's side should have doubled their lead when Taty Castellanos headed wide from two yards out, while Jarrod Bowen's close-range strike was ruled out for offside.
Spurs improved after the break and equalised in the 64th minute, when Cristian Romero met Pedro Porro's cross to power a header beyond Areola.
The West Ham goalkeeper pushed away Xavi Simons' volley later on, while Porro's superb sliding intervention denied Wilson at the other end.
However, in the third minute of stoppage time, Wilson – who is widely expected to leave West Ham – reacted quickest after Tottenham failed to deal with a corner, prodding a loose ball into the roof of the net to snatch all three points.
Data Debrief: Spurs suffer at the death once more
After also suffering last-minute heartbreak against Bournemouth last time out, Tottenham have lost to a 90th-minute winning goal in successive Premier League games for the first time.
Meanwhile, Wilson's strike was only West Ham's second 90th-minute winner in an away London derby in the competition, after Paolo Di Canio's strike at Fulham in October 2002.
That came after the Hammers had conceded their league-high 12th headed goal in the Premier League this season, only letting in more during the 2010-11 campaign, when they were relegated (15).
Conversely, Romero's goal represented Tottenham's ninth headed goal in the English top flight this term, the joint-most alongside rivals Arsenal.
