LEDLEY King scored his first goal in three years as Tottenham continued their revival under Harry Redknapp with a 2-0 victory at West Ham.

King, who last scored against Portsmouth in December 2005, headed Aaron Lennon's curling cross past Robert Green to put Spurs ahead.

Spurs wrapped the victory in the last minute with a long-range strike from Jamie O’Hara as West Ham were caught on the break trying to snatch an equaliser.

West Ham enjoyed most of the early posession. Hayden Mullins' pass into the box was just too strong for Craig Bellamy and when the Welsh striker did latch onto a Valon Behrami's through-ball he was flagged off-side.

West Ham thought they had taken the lead after 22 minutes when Jenas turned Bellamy's corner past stranded Tottenham keeper Heurelho Gomes. But the referee spotted a push from Neill on the England midfielder and awarded a free-kick to Spurs Bellamy was at the heart of West Ham's best attacking moments but for all their possession the Hammers lacked the decisive cutting edge.

Tottenham were unfortunate not to go into half-time in the lead after upping the tempo to work two excellent opportunities in as many minutes.

Neill's clearing header fell straight to Bentley, who caught the half-volley clean and true but was denied by a brilliant diving save from Green, who punched the ball clear for a throw-in.

Spurs kept the pressure on and Pavlyuchenko stretched to meet Lennon's low cross at the far post but could only push the ball onto the post.

West Ham started the second half in positive fashion with Bellamy again running at the Tottenham back four but again he scuffed his shot at pulled it wide.

Lennon, Tottenham's most dangerous attacking weapon, broke clear but was tracked all the way by Parker who pulled off a perfectly-timed challenge just as the Spurs winger looked set to shoot.

When Modric was fouled by Neill 10 minutes into the second half, Harry Redknapp made his first change with Bent replacing Pavlyuchenko up front.

Spurs then had a strong claims for a penalty when Ilunga raised his arms to in front of his face to block Vedran Corluka's cross but their appeals were waved away.

Zola introduced home favourite Mark Noble for the ineffective Julien Faubert. Spurs opened up West Ham with some slick one-touch passing as Modric, Jenas and Lennon combined to find Bent, who escaped Collins in the box but turned his shot wide.

Tottenham began to turn the screw as Lennon fizzed around and West Ham struggled to match the tempo. Zokora's low drive was blocked but Spurs soon found the breakthrough they had been threatening when King rose to head Lennon's delightful cross past Green's despairing dive.

Zola sent on David di Michele and Diego Tristan in search of an equaliser.

It almost paid off as the Hammers threw everything forward.

Di Michele tried to squeeze space at the near post but was closed out and then West Ham were denied by a point-blank save from Gomes to deny the Italian after the ball had ping-ponged around the Spurs area.

And as West Ham fans stood head in hands, Spurs broke straight down field and Jamie O'Hara sealed with victory with a long-range strike.
