A crowd of about 8,000 supporters saw West Ham beaten by Tottenham Hotspurs by 4-2. The Spurs' well deserved their victory, the home side failed to impress. Their movements were uncertain, and they indulged in far too much useless kicking. Within five minutes of the start of the game the Spurs took the lead with a beautiful goal. Bellamy cleverly drew the defence and then sent across a perfect carpet pass to Roberts who beat Tate with a beautiful shot from just outside the penalty area. The Hammers continued to press, and the Spurs had several lucky escapes. Once Campbell got the ball across to Norris, but the inside right was knocked off the ball before he had a chance to shoot. The Hammers drew level after about ten minutes play. Norris shot through from a corner, the ball striking the underside of the crossbar, and rebounding into the net.
The Spurs equalised after 25 minutes of the second half. Armstrong shot through from a centre by Barnett. Tait partially stopped the ball but could not prevent it from entering the net. Payne made a fine attempt to regain the lead for the Hammers. he took a nice pass from Norris and raced round Reddish, but Smith was able to smother his shot.

Five minutes later Spurs went ahead with another excellent goal. Roberts took a nice pass and headed to Evans who went through to score with a beautiful shot. The visitors were playing much better football than the Hammers, and just before the end went further ahead. Roberts got the ball out to Barrett, and the right winger sent over a perfect centre, from which Armstrong scored with a lovely shot.
