Spurs, West Ham win in battle for Premier League survival
LONDON: West Ham scored a late winner on Saturday to stay two points clear of Tottenham in the battle to avoid Premier League relegation on a day of breathless drama. Spurs looked set to escape the bottom three with just minutes remaining after they took the lead against Wolves and West Ham conceded an equalizer against Everton. But substitute Callum Wilson scored a winner in the 92nd minute at the London Stadium to restore West Ham’s two-point cushion, with just four games to go. Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham traveled to already-relegated Wolves without a Premier League win since December but were blunt in attack. But Joao Palhinha’s late goal secured a 1-0 win and traveling Spurs fans celebrated wildly when they learned that Everton had levelled in the 88th minute. At that stage Spurs were out of the bottom three. But West Ham were not finished, with Wilson adding a remarkable postscript. Wolves and Burnley are already down but the race to avoid the final relegation spot has effectively become a two-horse race between Tottenham and West Ham. Nottingham Forest hammered Sunderland 5-0 on Friday to pull well clear of the drop zone. In the early kick-off on Saturday, Fulham beat Aston Villa to keep their hopes of qualification for Europe alive. Ryan Sessegnon scored the only goal of the game shortly before half-time after Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins had gone close for Villa. Fulham are now 10th, level on 48 points with neighbors Chelsea and just two behind sixth-placed Brighton in the scrap for places in the Champions League, Europa League and UEFA Conference League.
West Ham wary of Moyes’ inside track ahead of vital Everton clash
LONDON: Everton manager David Moyes returns to the London Stadium on Saturday armed with the inside knowledge that could harm West Ham United’s hopes of avoiding Premier League relegation. Moyes had two spells as West Ham manager, saving them from relegation in his first short stint before leading them into Europe in his second and winning the 2023 UEFA Conference League. His Everton team are now pushing for European qualification while Nuno Espirito Santo’s West Ham are in 17th spot and in the midst of a tense relegation battle. While Moyes has nothing to prove, the sense that he was not fully appreciated by West Ham’s fans might be lurking in the back of his brain as he returns to east London. With West Ham two points above 18th-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who face bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, anything other than a win could see them fall back into the bottom three with four games left. Espirito Santo is well aware of the threat Everton offer and says Moyes’s familiarity with the West Ham squad poses a challenge ahead of a vital fixture. “(Former team) managers have the advantage of knowing the players, sometimes the routines,” the Portuguese, who replaced Graham Potter in September, told reporters. “In this case, David knows the routines, knows the players. So we have to try and make new things happen so we do not become so predictable.” Espirito Santo, who took Nottingham Forest into Europe last season only to be sacked in September, said playing against a former club as a manager is not just another game. “It is always a special game due to the respect and love that you have from former clubs, but you want to win.
