And it did as the Lilywhites ran out 2-0 winners subsequently ending a two-game losing streak. The opening game came from an unlikely source while their second was all too familiar.<\/p>\n<p>From the get-go Ben Davies was eclectic; effectively operating like an auxiliary winger, nothing illustrated his endeavouring approach more than producing one fewer touch in the opposition box than West Ham (five) in the first half. Davies carried that swashbuckling mindset into the second half and was duly rewarded.<\/p>\n<p>After collecting a fantastic Pierre-Emile H\u00f8jbjerg forward pass the left-back teed-up Spurs&#8217; other full-back Emerson, who cooly put the hosts in front.
