TODAY WAS A GREAT MOMENT SAYS MOYES

-

it was not until 10 minutes later that West Ham even started their comeback to leave Spurs still without a home win in the Premier League.

“My guys were not strong enough to cope with it psychologi­cally,” Mourinho, below, said.

“The last few seconds, we lost two points. “We should be stronger. In the second half, West Ham risked quite a lot, pressing up and giving us more space.

“I don’t know if it was us inviting them or with them with the extra motivation of getting in the game. I can’t identify if it is was us or them, maybe both.”

Moyes joked that he was keen to avoid giving it the full “Mourinho” with his reaction – referring to the Special One’s antics after Manchester United beat Porto in 2019.

“I have just seen my celebratio­n... I know someone else who has run and slid down the touchline, so I wasn’t going to copy that,” Moyes said.

“But that David Pleat moment came to mind.

“It is one of these moments you don’t often get in football. At one point you’re saying how bad can this get.

“You get a lot of downs in football when you are working hard and trying to attain the top level, so you have good moments but a lot of bad, too. Today was a great moment. It was a moment of brilliance from Manu [ Lanzini].”

Spurs forward Son Heung- Min said: “The lads are devastated – we think we deserved three points and played really well until the last 10 minutes. It’s a shock.”

But Hammers midfielder Declan Rice said: “It is one those special moments in football. Like it was meant to be. It was not the start we wanted, but we felt were playing good football. For some reason they dropped off us. Once we got one we felt we could get a draw. Moment of brilliance from Manu.

“I can’t imagine what it is like for Manu to score that. As soon as it has left his foot – you can see the reaction.”
