Tottenham crushed an unrecognizable West Ham

Edson Álvarez came on in the 61st minute in the 4-1 defeat of the ‘Hammers’

El Tottenham Hotspur, with a resounding 4-1 win, he left the West Ham technical directorJulen Lopetegui, on the tightrope after only getting 8 points out of a possible 24 in his debut in this Premier League.

The Basque coach has started the tournament in a terrible way and, despite the reaction he experienced two weeks ago when he beat the newly promoted Ipswich Town, the international break for the FIFA Date does not seem to have gone well for him and he left North London beaten.

The ‘Hammers’, although they started winning with a goal from Mohammed Kudus, after Jarred Bowen’s play on the wing, collapsed as soon as they received the tying goal.

Lopetegui’s team continues to give a feeling of enormous fragility and it is not in vain that they are the second team that receives the most goals in this competition. Tottenham needed a steal in the center of the field, a drive from James Maddison and an opening on the left wing to get into the West Ham area.

Kulusevski, who is not exactly the most unstable winger in the world, was able to easily cut inside and with a shot that hit the goalkeeper and both posts, tied the match. Areola could have done more, but perhaps his vision was hindered by the cloud of players in front of him.

At half-time, with 1-1, Ange Postecoglou made a risky change and removed his most imaginative player who had just provided an assist, Maddison, for a very different one like Pape Mate Sarr. The move, despite the risk it entailed, turned out well.

Before the 60th minute, Tottenham had broken the game with three goals.

First, Bissouma pushed in a cross from Udogie’s baseline, then Todibo, who has four starts in the team, scored an own goal, and to top off West Ham’s disaster, Heung-min Son scored again almost two months later after dribbling past a defender with several bicycles and beating Areola at the near post.

The punishment could have been greater when, with no time to recover, Son sent a ball into the woodwork just one minute after 4-1.

Already completely exhausted and wanting the match to end, West Ham was left with ten players when Mohammed Kudus lost his mind after a challenge with Van de Ven. The African hit the Dutchman with two balls while he was on the ground and when both Van de Ven and Sarr went to complain about the action, Kudus attacked the midfielder in the face.

The referee ended the dispute with a yellow card, but after reviewing it in the VAR he sent off the Ghanaian and closed a horrendous afternoon for the ‘Hammers’, who are not meeting the expectations that were generated in the summer market, when they were one of the most They invested in reinforcements.

After eight games, they have eight points and have only won one of the last seven games. There are many who already miss David Moyes at the London Stadium and those who are crying out loud because Lopetegui is not performing at the level expected.
