Tottenham responded emphatically with a dominant 4-1 victory over West Ham United at home, returning to winning ways after their previous defeat to Brighton.
Former Spurs defender Graham Roberts was quick to commend the team’s performance, singling out Heung-min Son, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke for their standout contributions.
Despite West Ham taking an early lead through Mohammed Kudus, Tottenham remained composed.
Kulusevski brought Spurs back into the game in the 36th minute, finishing off a clever pass from James Maddison with a low shot, levelling the score at 1-1.
The second half saw the Lilywhites take full control of the match. Yves Bissouma scored in the 52nd minute to put the hosts ahead, and a few minutes later, an own goal further extended their lead.
Son capped off the victory with individual brilliance in the 60th minute, marking his return to the side with a clinical finish to secure the 4-1 win.
