Local lad Mark Noble gave West Ham the lead and Carlos Tevez doubled it with his first goal for the club. Hammers old boy Jermain Defoe scored a penalty and Tainio pulled Spurs level.

Three goals in the final five minutes settled the game. Zamora restored West Ham's lead before Berbatov equalised from a free kick in the final minute of regulation time. Deep into injury time Tottenham won the game with a winner from the most unlikely of sources, Right Back Paul Stalteri.
