Deputy Black Stars captain Andre Ayew came off the bench to play a part in West Ham’s derby against Tottenham, but could not help the Hammers escape defeat.

Andre came on for Diafro Sakho in the second help with the club three goals dow to help his side score two late goals

Harry Kane scored twice as 10-man Tottenham survived a late fightback from West Ham to move up to third in the Premier League.

Kane's header and low strike gave the visitors a 2-0 half-time lead before midfielder Christian Eriksen fired home the third in the 60th minute.

The Hammers had been disjointed and jaded to that point, but five minutes later Mexico forward Javier Hernandez nodded in from close range.

Tottenham wing-back Serge Aurier was then shown a second yellow card 20 minutes from time for a late tackle on Andy Carroll.

West Ham made their numerical advantage count when Cheikhou Kouyate powered in a magnificent cross from substitute Arthur Masuaku with three minutes left.

The 26 year old ended the game after picking up a yellow for a foul on Ben Davies.

The defeat puts Ayew’s West Ham in the bottom three.
