Spurs run riot in second-half as Hammers endure nightmare afternoon in north London

Tottenham scored three goals in eight second-half minutes as they cruised to a 4-1 Premier League win over West Ham, who had Mohammed Kudus sent off in the closing stages.

The Hammers were attempting to make it back-to-back league wins away at Spurs for the first time since 1966 and made the ideal start, Kudus turning in from Jarrod Bowen’s cut-back. Tottenham, though, were the dominant force on the whole and levelled it up before the break through Dejan Kulusevski, their best player in the opening period. He drifted inside onto his left foot and the strike bounced off both posts before bouncing in.

It was in the balance at half-time; by the hour mark the game was done. Yves Bissouma put Spurs in front seven minutes into the second period, finishing with the help of a slight deflection after good work from Destiny Udogie. The home fans were celebrating again almost immediately, as Heung-min Son’s effort was saved but Alphonse Areola could only parry it into Jean-Clair Todibo, as the ball then bobbled into the empty net.

Son then got himself on the scoresheet as the West Ham defence fully gave way, the Spurs captain allowed to drive into the box and away from Todibo, squeezing an effort past Areola. It got even worse for West Ham in the closing stages as Kudus was shown a straight red card. The forward kicked out at Micky van de Ven, then shoved the defender and Pape Sarr in the face, and while he initially escaped with a booking, Kudus was dismissed after a VAR review.

And it goes from very bad to much worse for West Ham, who will lose Kudus to a suspension after his shove to the face of Van de Ven.

Nightmarish afternoon for the visitors.

RED CARD

The referee is over to look at the monitor... and he returns to send Kudus off!

Had to be a red card. West Ham man did enough for three red cards in about seven seconds.

It’s all kicked off, Kudus seems to have a kick at Van de Ven, who reacted angrily and shoved the West Ham man away.
