Sam Allardyce has told his West Ham team they are in a good position to pull off their first victory at Tottenham in 13 years on Sunday.

Right-back Joey O'Brien was the unlikely goalscorer in the 1-1 draw with Stoke and the 26-year-old is also feeling positive ahead of the game at Spurs. He added: "I picked up the ball and tried to play a one-two with Momo Diame but it did not come back to me, as it went wide to Gaz O'Neil instead. He has a lot of quality on the ball and his delivery is very good so I continued my run and took a chance. "He smashed it across goal and I was in the right place at the right time and the ball was just where I wanted it. "We will go (to Tottenham) to get at least a point, but we know it is going to be a very tough game because they are a top team. We have shown in recent weeks how well we can defend against Manchester City and Newcastle United. Nobody expected those results so we know, if we play well, we can take something from the game."
