West Ham United denied Tottenham Hotspur the chance to move up to the top of the Premier League table for the first time this season by beating their London rivals 1-0 at Upton Park.

Liverpool cruised to a 3-0 victory over Manchester City at Anfield to put a major dent in the visitors’ title hopes and avenge Sunday’s League Cup final defeat.
