Tottenham's Stunning Second-Half Comeback Seals 4-1 Victory Over West Ham
Tottenham Hotspur showcased a thrilling second-half performance in a dramatic 4-1 victory over West Ham United. The game, played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, had the home fans on edge when West Ham's Mohammed Kudus opened the scoring early in the 18th minute. Kudus latched onto a cross from Jarrod Bowen, and despite a spectacular save attempt by Tottenham's goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario moments earlier, there was nothing to stop his second effort. Spurs were struggling to capitalize on their chances, missing opportunities through Heung-Min Son and Brennan Johnson, leaving fans growing increasingly frustrated.
However, the game took a turn after halftime. Ange Postecoglou made a critical substitution, bringing on Pape Sarr for James Maddison. This decision proved decisive as Sarr’s energy injected new life into the Tottenham midfield, turning the tide in their favor. The equalizer came in the 52nd minute when Dejan Kulusevski’s shot, after a deflection, crept in after hitting both posts, igniting a wave of momentum for the home side.

In the space of just eight minutes, Tottenham completely dismantled West Ham’s defense. Yves Bissouma’s 55th-minute goal was quickly followed by an unfortunate own goal from West Ham’s goalkeeper, Alphonse Areola, after a deflection from Jean-Clair Todibo. Heung-Min Son then sealed the result in the 60th minute with a powerful finish at the far post, putting Spurs firmly in control.
As the match drew to a close, tensions boiled over when Kudus was sent off after a lengthy VAR review. His aggressive behavior towards Micky van de Ven and Pape Sarr saw him dismissed, capping off a miserable afternoon for West Ham, who had completely unraveled in the second half.
This victory, marked by a dominant comeback, was a much-needed response for Tottenham, especially after their struggles in the international break. The team will take great confidence from this display, as they not only secured an important London derby win but also showed incredible resilience and attacking prowess. For West Ham, it’s a bitter defeat and they’ll be left to regroup as they face a tough road ahead, especially with Kudus now facing suspension.
