Yossi Benayoun Goal - West Ham United 2 Tottenham Hotspur 1 - Premiership (7/5/06)

On the morning of the decisive game against West Ham United, a number of Tottenham players were taken ill with suspected food poisoning. The club appealed for the Premier League to delay the kickoff game but it wasn't successful. Arsenal went on to win their fixture 4–2 from a Thierry Henry hat-trick meaning Tottenham also required a win. Tottenham lost the game 2-1 and fell to fifth place.
