Ledley King scored his first goal in three years as Tottenham continued their revival under Harry Redknapp with a victory 2-0 victory over West Ham at Upton Park.
King, whose last goal came on December 12, 2005 in a 3-1 win over Portsmouth, met a cross from the electric Aaron Lennon and powered his downward header past Robert Green.
Spurs wrapped up victory in the last minute with a long-range strike from Jamie O'Hara that takes them above West Ham in the Premier League on goal difference.
Tottenham's win ended Green's run of three clean sheets but ensured another successful return to Upton Park for Redknapp, who was West Ham boss between 1994 and 2001 and has never lost on his old stamping ground as a visiting manager.
Croatian midfielder Luka Modric returned to the Spurs side after recovering from a groin injury.
