Tottenham player ratings vs West Ham: Dejan Kulusevski stars in win but James Maddison hooked early | OneFootball

Spurs got up and running after the international break in style

Tottenham got back to winning ways in the Premier League as they battered 10-man West Ham 4-1 at home.

Dom Smith was at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to rate the Spurs players’ performances…

Guglielmo Vicario 7

Made two good saves to deny Kudus but was beaten by a strike from the Ghanaian for the game’s opening goal.

Pedro Porro 6

Ran the right channel well and so nearly scored an amazing scissor kick.

Cristian Romero 6

Composed on the ball and won plenty of aerial challenges.

Micky van de Ven 7

Improved as the game wore on, showing his recovery pace to deal with West Ham’s admittedly dwindling threat.

Destiny Udogie 8

Excellent performance. Assisted Bissouma’s goal with good work on the left and was always an option on the left.

Yves Bissouma 7

Brought into the team and showed why, scoring Tottenham’s second and rotating the ball nicely.

James Maddison 5

Decent in possession but his decision-making was safe. Replaced at half-time in a tactical decision by Postecoglou.

Dejan Kulusevski 8

Tottenham’s best player of the afternoon. Wriggled out of tight spaces nicely and deserved the goal which he scored shortly before the break to level things up.

Brennan Johnson 7

Inches away from scoring for the seventh game running with a cutting volley, but that run had to end some time, and it did here.

Heung-min Son 8

Played brilliantly on his return from a short spell out with a hamstring injury. Caused Aaron Wan-Bissaka real problems, and got himself on the scoresheet.

Dominic Solanke 7

No goal this time, but a tireless display with some great runs into the final third.

Subs:

Pape Matar Sarr (Maddison, 46’) 7

Assisted Son for the fourth. Did well in midfield off the bench.

Timo Werner (Son, 70’) 6

Missed one headed chance late on. Pressed well as always.

Richarlison (Solanke, 81’) N/A

Rodrigo Bentancur (Bissouma, 81’) N/A

Archie Gray (Udogie, 88’) N/A
