If you’re a Tottenham Hotspur fan (and you are! Hi!) you’ll be forgiven if you went into today’s London Derby against West Ham feeling a bit nervous. After all, this is a proper London Derby, WHU’s “cup final,” and they always step up their game against Spurs.
Not this time! Mohamed Kudus scored a blinder in the first half to put the Hammers up in the first half, but Spurs roared back — equalizing in the first half through Dejan Kulusevski, and then going on a three goal tear in seven minutes with an own goal on Alphonse Areola sandwiched between goals from Yves Bissouma and Son Heung-Min. Kudus then picked up a (utterly deserved) red card for kicking Micky van de Ven, slapping him in the face, and then also hitting Pape Sarr before VAR intervened and sent him off.
Tottenham won comfortably 4-1, putting any concerns about the Brighton second half to rest. It was fun! I enjoyed it. I hope you did too.
It’s time to rate the players.
Rate the players from 1⁄2 to 5 stars. If the player doesn’t deserve a rating due to minutes played, DO NOT RANK. I will round the stars up/down to the nearest half-star for the player ratings later this week.
