West Ham 1-3 Tottenham
EFL Cup 2018/19
Venue: London Stadium
Date: Wednesday, 31 October
Son Heung-min scored his first goals of the season to fire Tottenham into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
The South Korean forward marked his 150th appearance for Spurs with the opening two goals in a 3-1 victory at London rivals West Ham.
The Hammers came from 2-0 down to knock Tottenham out at the same stage last season but there was to be no repeat of those Wembley heroics in east London.
Lucas Perez did briefly halve the deficit but Fernando Llorente, handed a rare run-out with Harry Kane rested, wrapped up victory for Spurs.
The visitors had, of course, been in action just 48 hours earlier against Manchester City on a dreadful Wembley pitch, so manager Mauricio Pochettino made 10 changes to his line-up.
Yet as three of those drafted in were Son, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen this was always going to be a test for West Ham's defence.
It was a test they failed, with Alli setting up both Son's goals - his first for Spurs in 20 appearances - with the help of some glaring errors from the hosts.
