King, whose last goal came on December 12, 2005, met a cross from the electric Aaron Lennon and powered his downward header past Robert Green.

Spurs wrapped up victory in the last minute with a long-range strike from Jamie O'Hara that takes them above West Ham in the Barclays Premier League on goal difference.

Tottenham's win ended Green's run of three clean sheets but ensured another successful return to Upton Park for Redknapp, who was West Ham boss between 1994 and 2001 and has never lost on his old stamping ground as a visiting manager.

West Ham did have the ball in the net after 22 minutes, when Jermaine Jenas turned Craig Bellamy's corner past his own keeper, but it was scratched off because Lucas Neill was climbing all over the Tottenham midfielder.

Spurs upped the tempo just before half-time and were unfortunate not to go ahead after working two chances in as many minutes.

Neill's clearing header fell straight to David Bentley, who caught the half-volley clean and true but was denied by a brilliant diving save from Green.

And Roman Pavlyuchenko stretched to meet a low cross from Lennon at the far post but he could only push the ball onto the post.

But Tottenham's pressure eventually told and it was Lennon who engineered the breakthrough with a delightful cross for King to power a downward header past the keeper's despairing dive.

West Ham were denied by a point-blank save from Heurelho Gomes to deny substitute David Di Michele after the ball had ping-ponged around the Spurs area. And Spurs broke straight down field and O'Hara sealed with victory with a long-range strike.
