Tottenham gloom deepens, Man Utd salvage point at West Ham

LONDON, Feb 10 : Yet another Premier League home defeat left Tottenham Hotspur looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone and manager Thomas Frank nearer the exit door on Tuesday as Newcastle United eased their own slump with a 2-1 victory in north London.

Last season's Europa League winners and qualifiers for this season's Champions League last-16 were booed off after Jacob Ramsey sealed a rare away win for Eddie Howe's side.

Tottenham would have found themselves only three points above the drop zone had it not been for Manchester United's Benjamin Sesko scoring a stoppage-time equaliser to deny 18th-placed West Ham United a 1-0 win.

The 1-1 draw kept United in fourth place although it ended caretaker manager Michael Carrick's 100 per cent record since taking over in January.

Another unblemished record went at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior dropped his first league points since replacing Enzo Maresca, his side drawing 2-2 at home to Leeds United having led 2-0.

Bournemouth came from a goal down to win 2-1 at Everton with second-half goals by Brazilian teenager Rayan and Amine Adli. Everton, who had led through Iliman Ndiaye's first-half penalty, ended with 10 men after Jake O'Brien was red-carded.

Tottenham have not been relegated from the top flight since 1977 but such is the present malaise at the club it is now becoming a genuine fear as they are in 16th place, five points above West Ham whose form is on the up.

They have not won a Premier League game since December 28 and have managed only two victories from their 13 home league games this season. To make matters worse, their next fixture is at home to north London rivals and leaders Arsenal.
