How Tottenham recovered to thrash woeful West Ham in a thrilling London derby

The final result looked comfortable for Tottenham but it is worth remembering back to how nervous people were inside the stadium when it was still 1-0 to West Ham.

What turned the game and released the pressure from Spurs was Dejan Kulusevski’s brilliant strike after 36 minutes.

That was the moment the game changed. As soon as Spurs scored once, you could tell they were going to overwhelm West Ham. The dam had burst. The visitors could no longer keep up their diligent early defending, tracking runners and squeezing the space between the lines.

Spurs looked like scoring every time they got the ball. Half-time was a relief for them. In truth, they should have finished the game with a few more goals than they did. When Spurs are on it, they attack in wave after unstoppable wave.

It just took Kulusevski’s equaliser to get them going.
