Tottenham 1-2 West Ham: Highlights, man of the match, stats as Spurs suffer stunning last-gasp defeat to bitter rivals

The end for Frank? Tottenham stunned late on as West Ham claim gigantic win

Thomas Frank's future as Tottenham Hotspur boss is hanging by a thread following a spectacular late defeat to West Ham United on Saturday afternoon.

It appeared that the points would be shared in the London derby, with Cristian Romero cancelling out an opener from Crysencio Summerville to leave the two teams level at 1-1 in the Premier League contest.

However, West Ham came up with a last-gasp winner through Callum Wilson, with the Hammers securing a 2-1 victory to move onto 17 points in the Premier League table.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side sit 18th in the division, four points behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, while the result has left Tottenham in 14th, eight points off the top five.


SPORTS MOLE'S VERDICT

What a finish.

Not too many would have seen this result coming, but West Ham took advantage of a Tottenham side that are struggling badly at such a vital stage of the campaign.

Both managers entered the match under pressure; Nuno was able to secure a monumental win, but Frank's job at the helm is now in severe doubt.

The 52-year-old's work at Brentford was sensational, but there is no doubt that it has not worked at Tottenham, and the reaction of the supporters on Saturday was telling.

Spurs are 14th in the Premier League table, and while they have again been struck by so many injury problems, their campaign has, once again, simply not been good enough.

Some difficult conversations will occur in the days that follow, but on the flip side, this was such a massive result for a West Ham team that were desperately in need of a boost.
