Scamacca nets the winner as West Ham and Tottenham serve up an entertaining dish in Australia

Two London teams flew over 14,000 kilometres to Western Australia to play each other in a pre-season friendly - and this time, East London prevailed over North London. Gianluca Scamacca scored the game's last goal as West Ham beat Tottenham 3-1 in Perth.

Ange Postecoglou took his new team to his homeland and watched them dominate for most of the game. However, two early Hammers' goals did the damage and David Moyes' men won despite a second-half quickfire double that saw Spurs restore fleeting parity.

Danny Ings and Divin Mubana scored in the space of five minutes to give the Irons a fine 2-0 lead.

Postecoglou made all 11 changes at the break, hauling off new boys Vicario, Maddison, Solomon and captain Kane. On came Giovanni Lo Celso and Destiny Udogie, who took three minutes to level. The Argentine's left-footed finish and Udogie's clever header made it 2-2 with 20 minutes to go.

However, just as Spurs looked like they would turn the game completely, Scamacca escaped and beat Brandon Austin to seal the win with just above ten minutes left.
