The New Zealand football captain Winston Reid's English club West Ham United made absolutely certain of Premier League safety with a 2-0 win over 10-man Tottenham Hotspur - their third victory over their London rivals this season.
An own goal by Spurs striker Harry Kane and Stewart Downing's free kick put West Ham in control before halftime after Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul was red-carded for bundling over Downing who was racing towards goal.
The Hammers had lost their previous four games and were not mathematically safe but have now reached 40 points with one game, away to Manchester City, left.
Tottenham remain in sixth spot with one match left.
