Tottenham dusted off its harsh loss to Leicester City 1-4 last week by beating its neighbor West Ham 2-0.
Tottenham rose to fourth place with 42 points, ahead of Newcastle by one point, but the latter has a postponed match.
The Italian Tottenham coach, Antonio Conte, continued to be absent from the bench, as he did not fully recover from gallbladder removal surgery about 10 days ago.
Tottenham was the best party in the first half, but all his attempts were shy.
Things were different in the second half, as the pressure of the landlords yielded a first goal after a wonderful game in which the ball reached the Brazilian right-back Emerson Royal, who followed it crawling into the net (56).
Soon, South Korean substitute Heung-min Son, who replaced Brazilian Richarlison, added the second, following an elaborate pass from team captain Harry Kane (72).
