"The revelry in the away end was deserved. There was much to like about Spurs as they continued their fine start under Thomas Frank. Xavi Simons marked his debut with an assist for Pape Matar Sarr's opener, Lucas Bergvall scored a peach shortly after West Ham lost Tomas Soucek to a red card and the only consolation for Potter was that the visitors eased off after Micky van de Ven made it 3-0 in the 64th minute."
"Members of the Lewis family were in attendance for the first game since Levy's removal as chair and were perhaps mulling over an interesting lineup from Frank, who started Simons on the left flank, rested Richarlison after his exertions for Brazil during the international break and deployed Mathys Tel up front despite leaving the Frenchman out of his squad for the Champions League."
West Ham endured a humiliating 3-0 home defeat to Tottenham that amplified fan anger and intensified calls for senior resignations. Tottenham delivered a controlled, high-quality performance under Thomas Frank, with Xavi Simons assisting Pape Matar Sarr and Lucas Bergvall scoring a fine goal. West Ham were reduced when Tomas Soucek received a red card, and Micky van de Ven added a third to seal the victory. The London Stadium largely emptied before full time as visible directors appeared grim and travelling Spurs supporters taunted West Ham with warnings of relegation.
