West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has hit out at Tottenham Hotspur's players following their 2-2 Premier League draw on Sunday, implying that they go down too easily.
Strikes from Cheikhou Kouyate and Diafra Sakho put the Hammers two goals after an hour at White Hart Lane, but Danny Rose and Harry Kane scored in the final 10 minutes to salvage a point for the hosts.
Kane scored the rebound of his own 96th-minute penalty, which he won under a challenge from Alex Song.
Allardyce told BBC Sport after the game: "You can't put your hands on anyone today otherwise they will go to ground and make the referee's mind up.
"You can argue whether Alex Song has made enough contact for Harry Kane to go down, but when you're desperate like Tottenham are, you get touched and the player is going to fall over.
"Maybe we should be more like Tottenham - we stay on our feet. They're so lucky today."
The result puts West Ham eighth in the Premier League table, five points behind Spurs directly above them.
