The 40-point mark - or thereabouts - could well be back in vogue when it comes to guaranteeing Premier League survival this term, with an in-form West Ham attempting to chase down the sides above them. That mythical number has often been cited as the threshold at which managers, players and fans can relax - but the total has not actually been needed to stay up since 2010-11.
West Ham were in control from the start and took the lead in the 13th minute, as Summerville rounded off a swift counter by racing onto Mateus Fernandes' throughball, and coolly lifting over Martin Dubravka. The Hammers doubled their advantage 13 minutes later. Summerville's neat flick released El Hadji Malick Diouf out on the left, with the full-back's cross brilliantly headed home by Castellanos.
Then going to Spurs, I look at it in the sense of you buy a new car, and I felt like I was just in a garage for four years, where I wasn't used. Now it's like I'm fresh (and) with Leeds.

West Ham United are hoping to sign Kaio Jorge from Cruzeiro during the January transfer window. The 23-year-old striker is in spectacular form right now, and he has 26 goals this season. He could solve West Ham's goal-scoring problems and help them survive in the Premier League. They are currently fighting for survival in the top flight, and they need quality players in order to stay up.
Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Vitor Pereira is under a lot of pressure after a disappointing start to the season. Wolves are yet to pick up a single victory in the Premier League, and Pereira could be shown the door soon. It will be interesting to see if he can help his team turn things around in the coming weeks. Vitor Pereira to be sacked?
