Tottenham Hotspur demonstrated their fighting spirit on Saturday, coming from behind to secure a convincing 4-1 victory over West Ham United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Early Setback Overcome
Despite a strong start, Spurs found themselves trailing after Mohammed Kudus scored against the run of play in the 18th minute. However, Ange Postecoglou’s side showed their mettle, equalizing through Dejan Kulusevski’s impressive strike off both posts in the 36th minute.
Second Half Surge
The second half saw Tottenham take control of the match. Yves Bissouma, making his first Premier League start since September 1, put Spurs ahead in the 52nd minute. Son Heung-min then took center stage, contributing to two goals in quick succession to seal the victory.
Postecoglou’s Impact
The match highlighted the progress Tottenham has made under Postecoglou. As Andy Edwards notes: “Postecoglou has made Spurs less reliant on one player doing it all (Son last season, with 17 goals and 10 assists, and Harry Kane for most of a decade before that), which means they can win (or lose) in a multitude of ways from week to week. “This diversity in attacking threats was evident, with four different players contributing to the scoresheet.
Building on Momentum
While it’s still early in the season, the performance against West Ham showcases Tottenham’s potential under Postecoglou. As Edwards concludes: “It’s still early, which means lots of ups and downs, but it’s impossible to look at Tottenham and say they’re not headed in the right direction. “This victory moves Spurs up to 6th place with 13 points, keeping them in contention for European spots.
