Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 West Ham United
Tottenham Hotspur moved to the top of the Barclays Under-21 Premier League Elite Group after claiming a thrilling 3-2 victory over West Ham United at the Training Centre.
Jonathan Obika put Spurs ahead from six yards on 26 minutes only for the visitors to respond through a Elliot Lee drive four minutes before half-time.
Harry Kane then put Tottenham in front again just before the break with a superb shot from 25 yards that flew into the top corner.
West Ham hit the inside of the post before new signing Wellington Paulista, who scored in the previous match against Arsenal, slotted home from Lee's cutback.
But Tottenham had the final say when defender Giancarlo Gallifuoco's looping header went in from Christian Ceballos' cross with 21 minutes left on the clock.
Spurs now lead the Elite Group by one point from second-placed Liverpool, who have a match in hand.
