Ange Postecoglou is speaking to the media following Tottenham's 1-1 draw at West Ham United on Sunday in the Premier League.

With Spurs understandably prioritising the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday in Norway, Ange Postecoglou made eight changes from the side that won 3-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in midweek. Dominic Solanke and James Maddison missed out with Djed Spence, Archie Gray, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies, Pape Matar Sarr, Dejan Kulusevski, Mathys Tel played a half each on Thursday night so start up front, with Wilson Odobert alongside them.

Wilson Odobert opened the scoring for the changed up Spurs team within 15 minutes. Poor defending from Max Kilman saw him hit the ball against Tel and the Frenchman fired it across the box for Odobert, who took a touch and slid the ball home. Just before the half-hour mark, Tottenham offered up some dreadful defending over their own as Jarrod Bowen was able to waltz down the right of their box, between Spence and Davies, and saunter inside before nutmegging Guglielmo Vicario.

Neither side could find a way through in the second half with the visitors creating more half chances before a late save from Vicario from Bowen.
