Tottenham wins 4-1, overcoming West Ham‘s initial goal and with an overwhelming second half, scoring three goals in 8 minutes.
Tables in the first part
The game began very tight and with an attempt by both teams to maintain possession. The first to approach were the Spurs After a good play by one of the fittest players on the team, Jonhson, but his shot went high. The visitors would also have their chances, such as a shot by Kudus but intercepted by Vicario. The two teams reached the goal clearly but without finding success, although the locals had clearer chances such as two shots by Son and Kulusevski that were very close to making the score 1-0. But in the 18th minute the first goal of the game would come after a right-footed shot by Kudus into the left corner.
The visitors went ahead and the Spurs would go in search of the tie that would come almost in the next play but Jonhson was not successful. The locals bottled up West Ham in their area and only managed to have chances and the goal was very close. AND The tie would come after a counterattack, an assist from James Maddison left the Swede alone, Kulusevski, who managed to establish the 1-1 after a shot hit the left post. Lopetegui’s team would go ahead again after this goal and the end of the first half would be very open with many chances for both but without finding a goal.

Spurs activate steamroller mode
The locals would make a change to start this second half, bringing on Sarr and removing a possibly injured Maddison. This second half began in the best way for the Spurs and that is In the 52nd minute the goal would come that turned the game around and made the score 2-1. After a pass from Udogie, Bissouma managed to connect a shot with his right foot that entered the goal very close to the left post. But this would not remain like this and it is that Three minutes later, Postecoglou’s men would score again and extend the lead thanks to Todibo’s own goal.
In the 60th minute the madness would reach the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and it is that After an assist from Sarr, captain Son managed to score the fourth goal for Spurs. The locals In less than eight minutes they had turned the score around by scoring three goals. Lopetegui would move the bench to try to activate the team so as not to be beaten or why not look for a draw. But the Spurs continued like a steamroller and reached Areola’s goal with great ease. Postecoglou would also begin to move the bench, giving Son a rest who was coming back from injury and Werner coming on. Lopetegui’s men would try to lock down Tottenhan and would have several chances but the locals resisted and went out on counterattacks with great danger. In ’86, with the game already more than sentenced to Lopetegui, everything became much more complicated for him since Kudus would be sent off for a fight. The game would come to an end with some more chances for both teams but without the score moving.
