Soccer / london derby

Tottenham erased West Ham from pitch in today London derby. Final result was 4:1 and it shows good what was happening on the pitch. Spurs were better in every segment of the game and enjoyed well deserved victory over London rivals. Ange sent this eleven on the pitch: As you can see Son was back and Bissouma replaced Bentancur in squad, while all other are the same who played vs Brighton. His opponent Lopetegui sent this eleven: Interesting moments worth mentioning 6. Volley of Brennan Johnson from inside the box, powerful effort but ball went wide of goal! 10. Big chance for visitors but shoot is just above Vicario who push ball over crossbar into corner! That was early warning for Tottenham players to track opponents better. 16. Son shoot wide near post from inside the box. Nice trick very good shot, but ball went little near post. 18. Kudus goal from inside the box after cross from left and two West Ham players alone. How can two opponents be alone with so much space inside the box ? It looked like some midfielders and B. Johnson forgot to track those two. 22. Maddison cross from left side Johnson between two can't get ball which goes to corner. 27. dead chance for Johnson from inside of 5 m. after cross from left but he missed ball with head and sent it toward goal with shoulder, but it went wide of goal. 28. kicking inside 5 meters Solanke and defenders but ball went corner. 34. Porro attempt from more than 20 meters powerful, but saved 37. Dejan Kuluševski scored goal from 16 meters. He found space between 3 opponents, targeted near corner of goal, kicked ball with his left foot, goalkeeper touched it, deflected it toward post, but shoot was strong and ball bounced on the line to other post and happily jumped inside the goal. 39 Porro cross Solanke can't get to the ball, Van Bissaka cleared in front of alone Son on back post! 43 Porro wonderful kick from inside the box, but ball went just over crossbar. 46. Son receives ball inside the box tried low cross, but has been intercepted. Tottenham had unbelievable number of corners in first half. It's something like 12 and non of them were any danger for West Ham. Most of them were destroyed by James Maddison. Ange Postecoglou made substitute on half time. Maddison went out and Sarr came in. It was brave and good decision! 52 Son passed to Udogie in space inside the box, Udogie was near out line turned around and in cold blood passed back to Bissouma who fired ball toward near corner of goal! Ball went through legs of defender and goalkeeper dived in other side and it was nice goal for 2:1. Notice: West Ham entered into Tottenham goal machine at this point. 55. Kuluševski got ball inside the box, moved left like he will shoot then suddenly quickly turned right and passed to Son in space who fired shot with left foot. Goalkeeper deflected it to Todibo and it ended inside the goal from him for 3:1. 60 Sarr wonderful long low ball in space for Son, Son showed moving legs over ball tricks to Todibo and then fired it home in near corner of goal for 4:1! 61. Son stormed inside the box after Solanke sent him good ball and made great shoot but ball hit inner post! 62. West Ham shoot from inside of 5m, but Udogie blocked it. 65. Kuluševski attempt from edge of the box went little wide near post. It was close! 67. Solanke make havoc between couple of players sent ball right to Johnson, but his good effort has been deflected by goalkeeper! This made me tweet DOMination, DOMination, DOMination on twitter! Superb piece of play by DOM. 71. Timo Werner comes in insted of Son!!! This was shock for me. This drained life out of me. We lead 4:1, game has been decided and our coach decided to put Timo Werner in instead of Mikey Moore! He has stolen development minutes from young kid and future of Tottenham so bad and out of form Timo Werner can play ? That was shocking decision which ruined all joy form this game from me! Unforgivable! 72 Timo Werner found team mate from West Ham between two Tottenham players and setup cracking counter attack for away side. It ended with dangerous shot which Vicario saved. It's not first time this player is sending ball between our players toward opponent! He did it against Manchester United too! What should he do to finally go to reserve squad ?! You and me could pass that ball right, but not Timo! 75. Timo header from inside of 5 meters after cross from the right, but saved by goalkeeper. Maybe Mikey Moore would score from this position ? We will never know! Soon after Kudus made 2 or 3 red cards in 10 seconds. Van de Ven was on the ground, ball between his legs, Kudus kicked him trying to 'get the ball' then when Mickey stood up and turned toward him asking him if he is normal he slapped him in face, Richarlison came near by but hit shoulder of opponent and fell down, players ran and start pushing and Kudus slapped or hit with fist Sarr. Referee showed him yellow card on my shock just like Van de Ven! Then fortunately VAR called him and referee Madley showed him well deserved red card after review! Nothing significant happen after that. My impressions are this was very good game, Spurs were much better team and deserved victory. We wiped out guests from East London. I loved that second half until Werner came in. It was time when West Ham was in Tottenham goal machine! Man of the match Dejan Kuluševski said after the game when everything click Tottenham can score a lot of goals in short period of time and finished statement with more of this please. Unfortunately Johnsons's series of 7 consecutive games in which he scored a goal ended. He didn't score, but he had 3-4 opportunities or dangerous shots. Two flied very fast near goal, one was saved, one went just wide.Unlucky and he need to make new series now starting from 0. :) Brennan we know you can do that man. :) What I liked the most was Kuluševski goal, his wonderful play to setup Son's and Todibo's goal, Solanke's havoc in West Ham defense. Dom didn't score, but it's not only about goals, it's what you bring to the team and he brings a lot. He's press machine, he's good linkup man, stable, strong, big danger. Son looked also very good. It's a pity for him and Dom his effort ended on post and not inside the net for 5:1. I loved of course Sarr's long low ball to setup Son's goal. Thing I didn't like is how we let 2 alone players in our box for first goal and way how Timo Werner is playing and how Maddison and others took corners in first half! Well done and congratulations to players and staff and let's make new winning row now!
