Spurs dumped out of cup thanks to agent Fernandes

Spurs were dumped out of the FA Cup last night by Norwich City on penalties.

The Hammers Premier League game away at Spurs on Friday 20th March seemed odds-on to be re-scheduled until the Canaries threw them out of the cup.

In a twist of fate, it was Gedson Fernandes penalty miss which sealed the North London rivals fate.

West Ham were the front runners to sign Fernandes before Spurs swopped late in to steal the deal away from the Hammers.

Spurs currently sit in seventh place on forty points in the Premier League level with Sheffield United who has a game in hand one place behind sixth-place Wolves on 42 points.

Spurs seem unlikely to secure a top-six finish this season and West Ham have a very real chance of repeating last season away wins.

The Hammers became the first side to beat Spurs in their new stadium when  Michail Antonio scored the only score on 67 minutes.
