Spursstunned by Hammers’ Cup fightback
A STUNNING second-half comeback from West Ham put them into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals after a 3-2 win over Tottenham at Wembley.
Under-fire manager Slaven Bilic, who was facing even more questions after a 2-0 interval deficit, potentially saw his job saved by an Andre Ayew double and an Angelo Ogbonna header.
First-half strikes from Moussa Sissoko and Dele Alli had given Spurs the lead, but they couldn’t hold on in the second period.
David Unsworth’s first game in caretaker charge of Everton ended in a 2-1 defeat by Chelsea.
Antonio Rudiger scored his first Chelsea goal and Willian added the insurance second, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring a late Everton consolation.
