West Ham United’s first-year scholars secured their place in the quarter-finals of the U17 Premier League Cup earlier this week with a 3-1 win over defending champions Tottenham Hotspur.

A competition reserved for players born on or after 1 September 2008, our squad, mainly comprised of first-year scholars and a handful of schoolboys, have cruised through to the knockout stages of the competition with three wins out of three, scoring eleven goals and conceding just three.

Mirroring the format of the U18 Premier League Cup, which our young Hammers won last season, only the winners from the eight different groups progress through to the quarter-finals. The 32 teams include all 29 Category One Academies as well as Watford, Charlton Athletic and Swansea City.

Our U17s began their Group G campaign with a 4-0 victory at Ipswich Town on 16 September, before a 4-2 home triumph over Norwich City on 30 September set up a winner-takes-all tie at Rush Green Stadium against London rivals Tottenham.

Under the lights on Tuesday night at the first-team training ground, our U17s claimed a comfortable 3-1 win over the Lilywhites, the only side to have won this competition twice since its inception in 2021.

The other seven teams to join us in the last eight are Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Liverpool, Southampton, Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion.

Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history...

It is a moment that will be talked about by West Ham United supporters for generations to come.

Three goals down at Tottenham Hotspur with eight minutes of the 90 left to play on this day in 2020, West Ham looked dead and buried. But Fabián Balbuena’s header and a Davinson Sánchez own-goal gave the visitors hope.

It was hope that Manuel Lanzini cashed in on with a quite magnificent leveller in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

Aaron Cresswell’s wide free-kick was headed out to Lanzini, who paid no attention to Harry Winks closing in, fading an unstoppable first-time 25-yard shot beyond Hugo Lloris’ reach and into the top corner via the underside of the crossbar, sparking wild celebrations on the pitch and in the Hammers' technical area and dugout.

“I didn’t think anything, I just shot, and man it was so good!” Lanzini later smiled.

It will be remembered as a fine individual strike, but Lanzini was quick to point out the role Angelo Ogbonna played in disrupting Winks’ attempts to block his path to goal.

“Angelo did a good job because he gave me the time to shoot and put the ball there,” he explained. “Maybe Winks could block without that.”

The Tottenham man could not get there, though, with an unforgettable result, and Lanzini rates the goal as the finest he has ever netted: “It was a difficult shot, the first goal I’ve scored like that in my career. We were 3-0 down and had nothing to lose. It’s probably the best goal I’ve ever scored!”

Three second-half goals condemned West Ham United to a 3-0 home Premier League defeat by Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and Micky van de Ven found the net in the space of 19 minutes after the break as Thomas Frank’s side took the derby honours at London Stadium.

In the midst of Spurs’ three-goal salvo, West Ham also had Tomáš Souček sent-off for serious foul play, completing a difficult evening for head coach Graham Potter and his squad.
