Spurs & West Ham Close In On Top Four
Watford 0-1 Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur boosted their top four ambitions after snatching victory at Watford on Saturday evening.

Antonio Conte's men had to wait until second-half stoppage time for the game's only goal, with Davinson Sanchez turned home Son Heung-min's free-kick.

The victory took Spurs up to sixth spot, two points behind fourth-place Arsenal who suffered a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City earlier in the day.

Spurs will now turn their attention to Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against London rivals Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Crystal Palace 2-3 West Ham United
West Ham United moved to within a point of the top four after defeating London rivals Crystal Palace 3-2 at Selhurst Park.

The Hammers got back to winning ways earlier this against Watford with a 4-1 victory and they certainly carried that confidence into the first against Palace.

Michail Antonio opened the scoring with a close-range on 22 minutes, before Manuel Lanzini doubled the advantage three minutes later with a stunning individual effort.

Lanzini got his second and West Ham United's third from the penalty spot on the stroke of halftime.

Odsonne Édouard and Michael Olise set up a nervy finish after reducing the deficit to one goal on 90 minutes, 

The Hammers moved back into fifth spot while Palace are unmoved in 11th spot.
