Twelve years on from becoming the first side to beat Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, West Ham did the same to Tottenham as Spurs tasted a maiden defeat at their new home.
Tottenham succumbed to a 1-0 loss on Saturday – Michail Antonio’s rasping finish proving enough to secure the points for the Hammers.
A single goal was also enough for West Ham to hand Arsenal a first defeat in their opening season at the Emirates, with Bobby Zamora’s goal earning a 1-0 win on April 7, 2007.
West Ham’s triumph also dealt Tottenham’s Champions League hopes a blow, with the door now open for Arsenal and Chelsea to close the gap.
