West Ham United battled back from a goal down to secure a 2:1 win at Tottenham Hotspur, with a goal from Jarrod Bowen and James Ward-Prowse leaving them only three points from their opponents, whose poor run was extended with a fourth defeat in five matches.
On 70 minutes, Spurs had a great chance to regain the lead. Richarlison, who had come on as a substitute only a couple of minutes earlier, headed wide from close range after another fine delivery from Porro. Four minutes later West Ham took the lead. An underhit backpass from Destiny Udogie put Vicario in trouble.
Match Recap
Both managers made two changes. Ange Postecoglou recalled Cristian Romero after a three-match suspension, replacing Emerson Royal who was benched. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg came in for Bryan Gil. Hammers manager David Moyes also shuffled his team. An injury to first-choice keeper Alphonse Areola meant a first Premier League appearance of the season for Lukasz Fabianski. Kurt Zouma, who missed the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace for personal reasons, was restored to the Hammers defence to replace Konstantinos Mavropanos.
