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.
It’s time to rate the players.
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.
