EVERYTHING STARTS

An exchange between Van de Ven and Kudus brought together players from both teams.

And Richarlison, who had just arrived on the pitch, also landed on the ground.

Kudus was actually very lucky to stay on the pitch – he shoved two players straight in the face and only got a yellow card.

Tottenham Subs – Richarlison ON, Solanke OUT

Richarlison will receive a warm welcome from the Spurs faithful as he makes his first appearance since returning from injury.

The Brazilian replaces Solanke, who had a quiet game. Although he was able to work well with his teammates at times, he posed no threat to score.

And Stuart Pearce wants more from the big man at the helm of Spurs.

“It worries me a little,” said the England legend.

“He works hard for the team, he played his role, which I like, but I can’t remember him having a clear chance to score.”

“I would definitely like him to put more effort into scoring goals as a center forward.”

Especially one that cost £65 million.

His heatmap of the game shows that Solanke had no penetration around the penalty area and that he played in midfield for most of the game.

It's the same frustration fans had with Harry Kane in the final years of his time at Tottenham.

GOAL! Tottenham 4-1 West Ham – Heung-min Son

“Football is back, the son is back and Tottenham is blowing away the cobwebs!”

I couldn't have said it better, Mr. Matterface.

It's another counter-attacking goal with Son once again stunning the Hammers defense with some lovely footwork.

The skipper beats his man one-on-one with a few overs and hits a low shot past Areola.

Immediately after the restart, Son has the chance to score his hat-trick when West Ham lose the ball again, but he hits the post!

GOAL! Tottenham 3-1 West Ham – Heung-min Son

Well, that was a gift, but there was no shortage of donations from the Spurs.

West Ham are sloppy in possession and the hosts go into the break. Kulusevski brings Son on goal and he fails.

Areola gets something again, but the ball goes past the goalkeeper and dribbles into the net.

Spurs have a two goal lead – let's see if they can maintain that lead…

GOAL! Tottenham 2-1 West Ham – Yves Bissouma

The hosts are ahead and it's a beautiful goal – “exquisite”, according to Stuart Pearce and Sam Matterface.

Son stands on the left wing and sends a high-quality pass from outside towards Udogie.

The defender makes a nice turn in the penalty area, looks up and feeds Bissouma, who shoots the ball into the goal.

Kul and the gang

It was a sweaty first 45 minutes for the home crowd in north London, but there is one man they can count on – as he proved with the equaliser.

“I was impressed with Kulusevski,” said Stuart Pearce.

“He was Tottenham’s best player at the moment and was part of everything here again today.”

“He’s the one who brought them back into this game. When he gets the ball it always looks like something is going to happen.”

“A very talented player.”
