The Hammers looked as though they were going to finally take 3 precious points on Sunday as they jumped out to 2-0 lead at half time against Tottenham thanks largely to the tenacity and skill of Argentine striker Carlos Tevez.

While it’s obvious that Tevez’s skill and ability out weighs the sum of the rest of the West Ham players, the little striker has not let that affect his effort on the field as on Sunday, he ran about chasing everything in his sight—his time playing as in Argentine in Brazil obviously helping his cause. 

It was no doubt that Tevez had his hand in all the goals that West Ham scored as he set up the first with a chest trap that fell into the strike path of Mark Noble who volleyed home for the Hammers. Tevez then finally scored his first EPL goal as he placed an excellent free kick into the back of the net beating England keeper Paul Robinson.

Having given away the two goal lead in the 2nd half, Tevez then swerved in a free kick that the substitute Bobby Zamora headed home to restore the lead in the 85 min.

Lightening struck twice, however, as Tottenham hit back with their own free kick masterpiece as Dimitar Berbatov curled one in, and all was lost in stoppage time as Tottenham finished another goal as West Ham tried to push forward for all three points.

The Hammers now find themselves rock bottom with relegation looming once again.
