Tottenham Hotspur maintained their 100 per cent start to the Barclays Premier League season after West Ham United gifted them Jermain Defoe’s equaliser and Aaron Lennon’s winner at Upton Park in a 2-1 win.

The Hammers were leading through Carlton Cole’s spectacular volley but the England striker’s backpass then set up Defoe to level against his former club.

Another mistake led to Lennon’s winner, with Jonathan Spector slipping at the vital moment and the winger taking full advantage to rifle into the bottom corner.

Tottenham will be able to focus on the Premier League this season as they did not qualify for the Europa League, and if they continue to play like this then they will certainly find themselves in Europe next time this year.
