Tottenham sticks four to West Ham – Premier League – J8 – Tottenham-West Ham (4-1)

Tottenham 4 – 1 West Ham

Buts: Kulusevski (36^e), Bissouma (52^e), Todibo (csc, 54^e) and Sound (60^e) for Spurs // Kudus (18^e) for the Hammers //

Expulsion: Holy (86^e) West Ham side.

The Kudus chair celebration is something.

In the 1827^e (approximately) London derby, and a week before meeting Crystal Palace for an 1828^e (approximately) London derby next weekend, Tottenham inflicted a big blow on West Ham this Saturday, and provisionally enters the top 6 (4-1).

However, the meeting got off to a bad start for Spurs. Before he lost his temper at the end of the match and took a red, Mohammed Kudus, well placed at the far post, showed that he was better at football than hitting Micky Van de Van in the face. The Ghana international took home a cross from Jarrod Bowen (1-0, 18^e).

Alphonse Areola, who suffered strikes from Randal Kolo Muani during the international break, said to himself that he was going to spend a quiet afternoon in London, but had not envisaged such a failure from his rearguard.

This first let Dejan Kulusevski through. The new captain of Sweden, returned to his left foot, and deceived Areola on his left, after the ball had time to touch the two posts (1-1, 36^e).

Returning from the locker room, Yves Bissouma, who arrived, allowed the locals to take the advantage after a long collective movement from Spurs (2-1, 52^e). Two minutes later, Jean-Clair Todibo cut Kulusevski’s cross at the near post. Lack of luck for the former Nice player, it was for his own purpose (3-1, 54^e).

Returning from injury, captain Heung-Min Son then added to the success of the locals, launched by Pape Matar Sarr in his camp. Todibo was still collecting dust (4-1, 60^e). Thanks to this success, Tottenham is getting closer to European places, while West Ham, 14^e provisional says that the season could be long.
