What was a bad weekend for Tottenham Hotspur could get a whole lot worse at Selhurst Park. Spurs could and probably should have beaten Brighton to leapfrog West Ham in the relegation but a late, late equaliser for the south-coast side â compounded by wins for Leeds and Nottingham Forest â have left Tottenham staring down the barrel with just four games to go.
West Ham â with a game in hand â will stay 17th with a victory this evening but would put themselves four points clear of Spurs in 18th, an important margin given the east Londonersâ inferior goal difference. The Hammers are on something of a tear recently, revitalised under Nuno EspĂrito Santo, and since 17 January have the fifth best points tally in the Premier League. That they are still in the mire shows how far they had previously fallen.
