Viviane Asseyi struck for West Ham to help inflict a fifth straight Women's Super League defeat on London rivals Tottenham.
Full-back Verena Hanshaw tricked her way down the left wing before her attempted shot took a wicked deflection off the standing leg of Josefine Rybrink to give the hosts a 15th-minute lead.
Asseyi's wide free kick put the result beyond doubt in second half stoppage time. The France international's cross travelled through the box without a touch before landing in the far corner the net.
Despite dominating possession and chances throughout the game Tottenham's lack of quality in the final third proved their undoing once again.
Eveliina Summanen's long range free-kick bounced out off the crossbar seconds before the interval and Martha Thomas' skewed shot also found the woodwork in the second half.
Victory secured West Ham a fifth home league win of the season, a new club record.
The three points also helped them to leapfrog Spurs into eighth place in the table.
Having slipped down to ninth, Robert Vilahamn's side now face crucial games against Aston Villa and Leicester City as they bid to avoid their worst-ever top-flight finish.
