Tottenham Hotspur got back to winning ways in style on Saturday as they ran out 4-1 winners against a hapless West Ham United outfit in North London.

Spurs were eager to make amends for their shock loss at Brighton before the international break, and they did so – after an initial scare.

Ange Postecoglou’s charges were first to concede in the match as Jarrod Bowen cut the ball back for Mohammed Kudus to hammer home on 18 minutes.

However, Tottenham soon found a way back into the game, with James Maddison teeing up Dejan Kulusevski to equalise via both posts in the 36th minute.

Spurs added a second in the 53rd minute as Son Heung-min and Destiny Udogie combined to set Yves Bissouma up for a neat finish, which ended up opening the floodgates.

Tottenham made it three just two minutes later as Jean-Clair Todibo accidentally put the ball into the back of his own net in a moment Michael Dawson called “comical” on Sky Sports.

Then, in the 60th minute, the Spurs captain got the better of Todibo with some stepovers before beating Alphonse Areola at his near post to make it 4-1 to Spurs.

All in all, it was a great day at the office for Tottenham, and Spurs legend Graham Roberts loved what he saw.

Roberts took to X to sing the praises of Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou, and the Spurs fans.

He said Tottenham have been waiting for a manager with Postecoglou’s style of football since Mauricio Pochettino and backed him to deliver silverware at N17.

Roberts also said three players were “fantastic today”, namely Son, Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke.

What next for Tottenham?

Spurs’ next game is in the Europa League as they host Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in an 8pm kick-off on Thursday 24 October.

Tottenham then return to Premier League action as they head to Crystal Palace on Sunday 27 October, 2pm kick-off.
