"Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and Micky van de Ven got the goals as Spurs, playing their first match since the departure of chairman Daniel Levy, bounced back from the 1-0 home defeat by Bournemouth a fortnight ago. But for West Ham, any of the confidence garnered from their surprise 3-0 win at Nottingham Forest evaporated as, for the second home game in a row, they wilted in front of a London rival."
"Yet when Kudus gave the ball away in West Ham's half early on they almost scored on the counter, only for Lucas Paquetá to pull his shot wide. Moments later Kudus briefly silenced the jeers when he swung in a corner which was headed home by Cristian Romero. But referee Jarred Gillett spotted a shove in the box by Van de Ven on Kyle Walker-Peters and ruled out the goal with the VAR not seeing fit to intervene."
Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning ways with a 3-0 London derby victory over West Ham, with goals from Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and Micky van de Ven. The match was Spurs' first game since chairman Daniel Levy's departure and followed a recent 1-0 home defeat by Bournemouth. West Ham wilted for a second consecutive home match, saw Tomás Soucek sent off and extended their winless run at the London Stadium to seven games, their worst since moving there. The stadium was half-empty late on, boos met Mohammed Kudus and a headed goal was ruled out after a shove with no VAR intervention.
