Stunning comeback sees Hammers reach last eight

West Ham scored three times in 15 second-half minutes to stun Tottenham and relieve the pressure on under-fire manager Slaven Bilic.

A dominant Spurs, without the rested Harry Kane, raced in to a two-goal half-time lead, thanks to strikes from Moussa Sissoko and Dele Alli to seemingly leave Slaven Bilic’s position hanging by a thread.

Bilic’s players, though, produced a stirring second-half fightback, scoring three times in a stunning 15-minute spell to complete a remarkable turnaround.

Two quick-fire goals from Andre Ayew pulled the Hammers level before Angelo Ogbonna crashed a header in to seal a memorable win that provides their under-fire manager with a timely boost.

Bilic will now go into Saturday’s pivotal away clash with Crystal Palace full of confidence, while Tottenham will need to pick themselves up for a mouthwatering clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford, with one of their routes to silverware now gone.
