On Saturday afternoon, the Premier League resumed, and Tottenham Hotspur immediately recorded a convincing victory. Despite a difficult start to the match, Tottenham won the London derby against West Ham United with a score of 4-1.
Postecoglou leaves his mark on Tottenham
In the summer of 2023, Tottenham chose experienced Australian coach Ante Postecoglou, who had proven himself at Celtic FC. As soon as he arrived, he was able to convince by putting in place an attractive game and obtaining solid results during the first months.
Inconsistent results
However, Spurs could not maintain this good form. Although they fought for a place in the top 4 of the Premier League for a long time, they ultimately failed to secure a ticket to the Champions League. In addition, they did not shine in the national cups. Despite these poor performances, management maintained confidence in Postecoglou. The start of the season, however, was marked by irregular performances, with only 10 points taken out of a possible 21.
Convincing victory in the derby
The road to recovery began on Saturday with a solid derby victory against West Ham United. Although Spurs conceded an early goal, with Mohammed Kudus scoring after fifteen minutes, Dejan Kulusevski gave Tottenham an equalizer before the break. After halftime, Spurs took complete control of the match. Goals from Yves Bissouma, Heung-Min Son, as well as an own goal from Alphonse Areola sealed West Ham’s fate.
The visitors had to finish the match with ten men after Mohammed Kudus received a red card following a VAR intervention for repeated blows. Thanks to this 4-1 victory, Tottenham temporarily climbs to sixth place in the standings.
