West Ham vs. Tottenham is one of those unbalanced derbies. West Ham fans seem to care a lot more about it than Spurs fans do, although it’s never nice to lose to that lot. Thankfully, Spurs did NOT lose to that lot — they battered them. After a cagey first half that saw Spurs have a Cuti Romero goal inexplicably waved off for a foul in a corner kick scrum, Spurs went ahead thanks to a wide open Pape Sarr header at the back post in the second half. A Tomas Soucek red card gave Tottenham a numerical advantage and from then on it was all Spurs — Tottenham added goals from Lucas Bergvall and Micky van de Ven and then rolled to a 3-0 win.
It was Spurs’ first win over West Ham away since 2019, and their largest ever win over the Hammers in the London Stadium. Feels good, man.
Rate the players from 1⁄2 to 5 stars. If the player doesn’t deserve a rating due to minutes played, DO NOT RANK. I will round the stars up/down to the nearest half-star for the player ratings later this week.
