Heung-min Son doubled Spurs’ lead in the 24th minute, while West Ham struggled for a come back.
Before the first half break, however, Benrahma netted a super volley for West Ham, rekindling the visitors hope of a possible come back.
While the Hammers doubled up effort for an equaliser, Son scored another goal for Spurs in the 88th, bringing scores to 3-1.
