West Ham Grabs Late Victory As Tottenham Hotspur’s Defensive Woes Continue

West Ham secured a late 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur, extending Spurs’ defensive struggles. Brennan Johnson’s poor end product added to Spurs’ frustrations, and a potential penalty appeal was dismissed by VAR. West Ham seized the opportunity with a sudden counter, as Jarrod Bowen netted his 50th Irons goal from close range after a deflected shot.

Despite Spurs’ early lead courtesy of Rodrigo Bentancur, the momentum shifted after Bowen’s equalizer. Antonio Conte’s side found themselves on the defensive, prompting substitutions by manager Ange Postecoglou, who introduced Richarlison and Oliver Skipp to inject fresh energy into the lineup. However, Richarlison missed a golden chance to put Spurs ahead, heading wide from a Porro cross.

The turning point came when Udogie’s weak backpass forced goalkeeper Vicario into an error, allowing James Ward-Prowse to score and secure the win for West Ham. Spurs’ defensive lapses continue to haunt them, leaving Postecoglou with concerns about his team’s performance and the need for defensive reinforcements in the upcoming transfer window.

Here is the highlight video of Tottenham Hotspur vs. West Ham, which ended with a 1-2 victory for West Ham.
