West Ham boss David Moyes feels their last visit to Tottenham kick-started their transformation from relegation candidates to top-four challengers.
In October 2020 the Hammers found themselves 3-0 down to their derby rivals after only 16 minutes and still trailed by the same margin with eight minutes remaining.
But Fabian Balbuena pulled one back and a Davinson Sanchez own goal set up a grandstand finish capped by a memorable Manuel Lanzini strike to snatch an unlikely point.
Moyes, who returns to Spurs with West Ham on Sunday, said: “I think sometimes in football, managers will tell you there are things which can completely change the outcome of your season.
“I think that gave us huge confidence and momentum, coming from 3-0 down to get back to 3-3 against Tottenham.
“It was a huge game for us, and with the quality of the goal at the end as well. So it was a big moment and an upturn from where we were.
“It was like a win that night. Every team would tell you that, if you're 3-0 down and you get back. Arsenal did it against us at home last year and in truth they've not looked back either."
