Tottenham vs West Ham

The Ange Postecoglou era at Tottenham began in entertaining but utlimately losing fashion as West Ham picked up a 3-2 win in Perth.

Tottenham had much the better of the first half, but went into the break two goals down, as headers from Danny Ings and Divin Mubama made them pay for some poor set-piece defending. Postecoglou made 11 changes at the break but the pattern was the same, Spurs continuing to create chances at regular intervals.

Giovani Lo Celso pulled one back as he volleyed past Lukasz Fabianski, before Destiny Udogie marked his first appearance for the club with an equaliser a couple of minutes later, flicking a header into the far corner. It was at the other end though that the winner came. Pablo Fornals slide a ball through Tottenham’s high line for Gianluca Scamacca, who made no mistake with the finish to make it three wins from three for West Ham in pre-season.

Tottenham player ratings

Harry Kane 5

A quiet performance from the striker, who was captain. Didn’t have a chance of note and struggled to get into the game.

Manor Solomon 7

Just about Tottenham’s best player during the first-half and looked very lively cutting inside. Unlucky not to score or assist.

Destiny Udogie (Reguilon 45’) 8

Chalk and cheese when you compare him and Reguilon. Scored to top off an impressive performance.

A win for West Ham and the Postecoglou era starts with a defeat for Spurs. Positives for him, though, as Tottenham looked good going forward. Work to do in defence.

West Ham good on the counter - Bowen looks sharp.

FT: Tottenham 2-3 West Ham

Victory for West Ham, who make it three wins from three in pre-season.

Tottenham dominant for pretty much the whole match though, plenty of positives for them. Wasteful finishing and some poor defending costs them though.

90+3 mins: Smiles from Fabianski, as he falls on the ball. Sarr tried his luck from distance, blocked and spins away... West Ham goalkeeper prevents it going behind.

That should be that.

90 mins: Four minutes added on.

Royal looks to bundle his way through the West Ham defence, but the door is slammed shut. The Hammers sitting very deep as they look to see this out.

1689681383

88 mins: Ball cut back into the West Ham box, plenty of white shirts in there. Sanchez not really the one Tottenham wanted it to fall to though, and he stabs an effort straight at Fabianski.

For all their dominance, looks like Tottenham will begin their pre-season schedule with a defeat.

1689681149

85 mins: Earthy on for Bowen, who has been much quieter since the break.

Tottenham meanwhile continue to come forward, Lo Celso whips the cross into the box and Chesters nods it behind for a corner.

1689680993

82 mins: Richarlison goes for a very acrobatic effort... can’t pull it off.

West Ham have got a bit more control back now since that goal, having looked ragged as Tottenham scored that quickfire double.
