Tottenham Hotspur produced a dominant display at the London Stadium as they swept aside West Ham United with a 3–0 victory. The game came alive in the second half, where Spurs’ quality and West Ham’s lack of discipline made the difference.
After a goalless first half, Tottenham struck just two minutes after the restart when Pape Matar Sarr headed in from a Xavi Simons corner. West Ham’s hopes of a comeback were dealt a huge blow shortly after when Tomáš Souček was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge on João Palhinha.
With the Hammers reduced to ten men, Spurs took full advantage. Lucas Bergvall doubled the lead with his first Premier League goal, heading home from a Cristian Romero cross. Moments later, Micky van de Ven sealed the win with a composed finish after a sweeping Spurs move.
From then on, Tottenham controlled the game with ease, while West Ham struggled to keep their shape and barely threatened going forward. The result lifts Spurs up the Premier League table with nine points, while West Ham slip into the relegation zone after another disappointing defeat.
It was a statement performance from Tottenham, who showed both efficiency and ruthlessness, while West Ham’s lack of discipline and defensive frailty left their fans frustrated.
