West Ham United ended Tottenham Hotspur's perfect start at their new home with a 1-0 victory.

Michail Antonio scored the only goal of the game, the first Spurs have conceded in their five games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, finishing superbly from Marko Arnautovic's fine assist (67).

Spurs, who rested Jan Vertonghen and made four changes overall, went closest to levelling in stoppage time as sub Vincent Janssen saw a header cleared off the line by Fabian Balbuena.

After the defeat, Tottenham Hotspur remain in third position with 70 points, three points above fourth-placed Chelsea.

West Ham, in 11th, move up to 46 points.

Mauricio Pochettino: "Of course it was tough, we knew it would be tough, it's a derby. They arrive in a very good, fresh condition to compete, and for us the circumstance was very different. We now need to move on."

Manuel Pellegrini: "We played a big game, we defended well and attacked well, and we played in a way I've always wanted this team to play against a big team. For the fans, we know Tottenham is a major rival, so it's good for them."
