October 19, (THEWILL) – Tottenham Hotspur demonstrated their resilience with a commanding 4-1 victory over West Ham United in Saturday’s Premier League clash. The win propelled Spurs to sixth place in the table, while intensifying pressure on West Ham’s manager Julen Lopetegui.
Despite falling behind to an early Mohammed Kudus goal, Tottenham equalised before halftime through Dejan Kulusevski. The second half saw a dramatic shift as Spurs overwhelmed their London rivals with three goals in quick succession. Yves Bissouma, an Alphonse Areola own goal, and Son Heung-min’s strike sealed the emphatic win.
The match marked a significant turnaround for Ange Postecoglou’s side, who had suffered a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Brighton in their previous league encounter. Tottenham’s dominant performance included 12 first-half corners, underlining their control of the game.
West Ham’s struggles continued, with the team recording just two wins from eight English Premier League matches this season. Their misery was compounded when Kudus received a straight red card in the closing stages following a VAR review of a multi-player altercation.
This result strengthens Tottenham’s position in the top-flight, while West Ham face mounting challenges in their quest to climb the league table.
