Tottenham vs West Ham LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today
Tottenham scored three goals in eight second-half minutes as they cruised to a 4-1 Premier League win over West Ham, who had Mohammed Kudus sent off in the closing stages.
The Hammers were attempting to make it back-to-back league wins away at Spurs for the first time since 1966 and made the ideal start, Kudus turning in from Jarrod Bowen’s cut-back. Tottenham, though, were the dominant force on the whole and levelled it up before the break through Dejan Kulusevski, their best player in the opening period. He drifted inside onto his left foot and the strike bounced off both posts before bouncing in.
It was in the balance at half-time; by the hour mark the game was done. Yves Bissouma put Spurs in front seven minutes into the second period, finishing with the help of a slight deflection after good work from Destiny Udogie. The home fans were celebrating again almost immediately, as Heung-min Son’s effort was saved but Alphonse Areola could only parry it into Jean-Clair Todibo, as the ball then bobbled into the empty net.
Son then got himself on the scoresheet as the West Ham defence fully gave way, the Spurs captain allowed to drive into the box and away from Todibo, squeezing an effort past Areola. It got even worse for West Ham in the closing stages as Kudus was shown a straight red card. The forward kicked out at Micky van de Ven, then shoved the defender and Pape Sarr in the face, and while he initially escaped with a booking, Kudus was dismissed after a VAR review.

14:25 , Matt Verri
Spurs run riot after the break to take victory in this London derby.
A disastrous seven-minute spell saw West Ham collapse, before Mohammed Kudus then saw red late on.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
14:23 , Matt Verri
90+5 mins: Wan-Bissaka slides in on Werner - would think Lopetegui would be happy enough for his players to just stay on their feet now.
Two more minutes of misery to go for West Ham.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
14:20 , Matt Verri
90+3 mins: Areola charges off his line and volleys the ball away - had to get that right.
Kulusevski has been named player of the match, no surprises there. Hugely impressive again.

14:17 , Matt Verri
90 mins: Seven minutes added on.
Just what West Ham wanted to see, I’m sure...
Dom Smith at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
14:15 , Matt Verri
And it goes from very bad to much worse for West Ham, who will lose Kudus to a suspension after his shove to the face of Van de Ven.
Nightmarish afternoon for the visitors.
RED CARD
14:14 , Matt Verri
The referee is over to look at the monitor... and he returns to send Kudus off!
Had to be a red card. West Ham man did enough for three red cards in about seven seconds.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
14:12 , Matt Verri
85 mins: Kudus has shoved Van de Ven in the face, and then did the same to Sarr seconds later.
A miracle if this isn’t a red card.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
14:11 , Matt Verri
83 mins: Richarlison on... and straight down holding his face.
It’s all kicked off, Kudus seems to have a kick at Van de Ven, who reacted angrily and shoved the West Ham man away.
Kudus did push Van de Ven in the face, while Richarlison seemed to get a bit of an accidental headbutt as he arrived on the scene.
Dom Smith at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
14:10 , Matt Verri
An audible ovation from the Tottenham fans as Richarlison comes on for his first appearance since August, owing to injury.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
14:08 , Matt Verri
81 mins: Ideal situation for Richarlison to make his first-team return.
He’ll get ten minutes with this match effectively done, replacing Solanke.
Bentancur also on for Spurs, as Bissouma makes way.
Dom Smith at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
14:05 , Matt Verri
Wherever the finger is pointed from a West Ham perspective after today, the blame cannot lie with Bowen or Kudus, who have kept plugging away, trying to instigate counter-attacks and get the Hammers moving up the pitch.
Their defensive team-mates have let them down really.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
14:05 , Matt Verri
77 mins: For once, Spurs are slowing things down and looking for a bit more control.
Knocking it around at the back, all very comfortable for a change.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
14:02 , Matt Verri
74 mins: West Ham corner as they push to reduce the deficit... if Spurs manage to collapse from him Postecoglou might actually explode.
No sign of if though, corner comfortably cleared.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
14:00 , Matt Verri
72 mins: Van de Ven makes a mess of things out wide and West Ham are away, Kudus leading the charge.
The visitors are forced to slow things down, but Kudus does then get a shot away. Vicario pushes it to safety.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
13:57 , Matt Verri
70 mins: In a match that has a chaotic feel, on comes Werner. Sure that will calm things down.
Son brought off, it’s been a successful return to the starting lineup for the Spurs captain.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
13:54 , Matt Verri
67 mins: Johnson’s low strike is parried out, Solanke looks set to turn in the rebound but he just gets blocked off.
Spurs look like they are going to score every single time they attack.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
13:54 , Matt Verri
66 mins: That triple change from West Ham was initially coming at 2-1... ends up being made at 4-1.
Paqueta, Antonio and Soucek replaced by Alvarez, Summerville and Soler.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
13:52 , Matt Verri
64 mins: Stunning from Udogie, who somehow clears Udogie’s effort off the line. Looked a certain goal.
Kulusevski then tries his luck at the other end, curling effort not far away at all.
It’s 4-1 going on 10-3.
Dom Smith at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
13:50 , Matt Verri
Getting silly now. Tottenham have scored three goals in seven minutes.
Son has deserved one of his own, and after outsmarting Todibo, he does the same to Areola.
Three changes for West Ham, and no wonder.
Tottenham 4-1 West Ham
13:49 , Matt Verri
61 mins: Off the post!
West Ham are absolutely nowhere. Son is clean through again near enough straight from kick-off, Areola doesn’t move... denied by the woodwork.
GOAL! Tottenham 4-1 West Ham | Heung-min Son 60'
13:48 , Matt Verri
West Ham are falling apart now!
Son allowed to drive into the box, too good for Todibo and he squeezes a finish past Areola.
Dom Smith at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
13:45 , Matt Verri
Absolute calamity for West Ham, who score one of the ugliest own goals of the season through a mix-up between goalkeeper Areola and centre-back Todibo.
It hands Tottenham a two-goal advantage just like that, and gives the visitors a mountain to climb now.
Tottenham 3-1 West Ham
13:44 , Matt Verri
57 mins: Yellow card for Soucek, who wrestles and then throws Johnson off the pitch.
Fair to say it’s not been a great few minutes for West Ham.
GOAL! Tottenham 3-1 West Ham | Jean-Clair Todibo (OG) 55'
13:43 , Matt Verri
Spurs rampant now!
Lovely move, Kulusevski to Son and his shot is saved... but it bounces off Todibo and rolls into the empty net.
GOAL! Tottenham 2-1 West Ham | Yves Bissouma 52'
13:40 , Matt Verri
Spurs have turned it around!
Son slides a pass through to Udogie, he rolls it back into Bissouma’s path and the midfielder does the rest.
Looks like there might have been a slight deflection, but Spurs do not care one bit.
Tottenham 1-1 West Ham
13:39 , Matt Verri
51 mins: And now back to the familiar pattern. Tottenham pressure, West Ham block, Tottenham corner.
Son whips it into the near post, Soucek there to clear.
Tottenham 1-1 West Ham
13:37 , Matt Verri
49 mins: Low-key start to the half, if anything it’s been West Ham on top.
Bowen with a couple of changes to drift inside, but hasn’t quite got the pass through the bodies right yet.
Back underway!
13:33 , Matt Verri
Up and running again in north London.
Maddison is off for Tottenham, Sarr replacing him. And there’s no injury, TNT Sports reporting that it’s a tactical decision.
Dozen up for hosts
13:27 , Matt Verri
Lots of corners, the most since... Man City earlier this year.
Not the most impressive of stats, to be honest.

How Spurs levelled it up
13:25 , Matt Verri
Kulusevski has probably been Tottenham’s best player in the opening 45 minutes, deserved the goal.
Areola got a touch, hit both posts... still found a way in.
Dejan Kulusevski squeezes one in and it's 1-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 💥

13:20 , Matt Verri
Level at the break feels fair here, with both teams having enjoyed long periods of possession and had plenty of chances.
For Tottenham, it's a case of the final ball into the box just going awry a few too many times.
Otherwise, the overload on the left flank would surely have had them ahead by now.
West Ham can be pleased with sticking to Lopetegui's plan and catching the hosts on napping on the break.
HT: Tottenham 1-1 West Ham
13:17 , Matt Verri
And breathe...
A chance for Spurs in the final seconds, Son rolls it across the face of goal but West Ham clear and are delighted to hear the whistle.
Spurs have got themselves level after falling behind, and could easily be in front.
Tottenham 1-1 West Ham
13:16 , Matt Verri
45 mins: One minute added on.
Been a really enjoyable half, as is usually the case when Spurs are involved. Not always for the right reasons from their perspective...
Tottenham 1-1 West Ham
13:14 , Matt Verri
43 mins: That would have been outrageous!
Udogie’s cut-back comes through to Porro, who is mid-air as he hammers an effort at goal. Just wide.
West Ham hanging on for dear life. Paqueta into the book for stopping a counter.
Tottenham 1-1 West Ham
13:12 , Matt Verri
41 mins: Antonio turns Van de Ven, does really well but it’s not a foot race you’re backing him in.
Knocks it past the Spurs defender, who just shoves Antonio out of play.
Tottenham 1-1 West Ham
13:10 , Matt Verri
39 mins: West Ham need to be very careful here, have to get to half-time.
Porro in behind, fires the ball across the face of goal. Wan-Bissaka just about hacks it away.
Dom Smith at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
13:09 , Matt Verri
Fitting that it is Kulusevski who cancels out Kudus’s opener.
They have been far and away the best players in this first half, both finding absolutely no difficulty in squeezing out of tight spaces and turning on a sixpence.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 West Ham | Dejan Kulusevski 36'
13:07 , Matt Verri
SPURS ARE LEVEL!
Kulusevski cuts inside onto his left foot, Areola gets a touch on the shot... bounces off one post, rolls across the line, bounces off the other and in!
Tottenham 0-1 West Ham
13:04 , Matt Verri
34 mins: We’re into double figures for Spurs corners. Not a single chance from any of them.
This one taken short, comes to Porro and he lashes an effort at goal from 25 yards out. Takes a slight deflection, brilliant save from Areola to stick out a hand and keep it out.
Dom Smith at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
13:02 , Matt Verri
Mohammed Kudus is running the game for West Ham at the moment.
His close control, drop-of-the-shoulder and change of direction/pace are breathtaking when he's on it, which he is.
Tottenham 0-1 West Ham
13:01 , Matt Verri
30 mins: Antonio and Paqueta have parked themselves right on top of Vicario for this West Ham corner. Spurs goalkeeper not the best from these situations.
Luckily he can watch the ball sail over everyone and out of play.
Tottenham 0-1 West Ham
12:59 , Matt Verri
28 mins: Udogie makes the run in behind, Son slides it through to him.
Ball dinked to the back post, Spurs fans started celebrating... but it bounces off Johnson and behind for a corner.
It’s all getting a bit desperate in the West Ham box.
Tottenham 0-1 West Ham
12:56 , Matt Verri
26 mins: Porro tries his luck from miles out. Deflected out for, you guessed it, a corner.
Comes to Son at the back post, three West Ham defenders throw themselves in the way and the shot is blocked behind.
Maddison to swing the latest set-piece in... straight out of play. Woeful.
Tottenham 0-1 West Ham
12:54 , Matt Verri
23 mins: This West Ham defence is going to come under a lot of pressure. Spurs win their fifth corner of the match.
Porro takes this one, West Ham are a big old team though and again they have no problems in dealing with it.
Tottenham 0-1 West Ham
12:52 , Matt Verri
21 mins: Johnson left in a heap, runs into Emerson. Firm challenge, nothing wrong with it and play is waved on.
Postecoglou looking fairly fed on the touchline, as you’d imagine. Shaking his head.
Dom Smith at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
12:50 , Matt Verri
That's a fine goal from West Ham, and it's a product of pacey, attacking play down the left flank, before Kudus crosses from deep.
It's kept alive well by Bowen and Wan-Bissaka, with the former the eventual architect of the goal.
It's his cross and Kudus's finish that have the Hammers ahead, just as it could have been ten minutes ago when Vicario denied Kudus from close range.
The visitors strike first...
GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 West Ham | Mohammed Kudus 19'
12:49 , Matt Verri
WEST HAM LEAD!
Very, very similar to that early chance. Bowen skips away from Udogie, ball rolled across the face of goal and this time Kudus provides the finish.
Tottenham 0-0 West Ham
12:48 , Matt Verri
18 mins: Yet another corner for the hosts.
But again it’s pretty rubbish, to be generous. Straight into Areola’s gloves, the goalkeeper under no pressure at all.
Tottenham 0-0 West Ham
12:46 , Matt Verri
16 mins: Saying that, Spurs look pretty dangerous there.
Body swerve from Son completely does Wan-Bissaka, ball shifted on his right foot and the Spurs captain curls an effort inches wide of the far post.
Pressure building on West Ham...
Tottenham 0-0 West Ham
12:45 , Matt Verri
15 mins: West Ham back to sitting deep after that chance, Spurs dominating the ball without really looking dangerous.
Kulusevski has made a great start - looks so sharp in midfield.
Dom Smith at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
12:42 , Matt Verri
Brilliant stop from Vicario to stop a certain goal. Bowen had done well to square.
Anywhere else with the shot from Kudus and it's 1-0 West Ham. A pretty end-to-end start.
Tottenham 0-0 West Ham
12:41 , Matt Verri
11 mins: And West Ham very nearly take a shock lead!
Bowen with a brilliant low ball into the box, rolls perfectly into the path of Kudus. He’s free at the back post, plenty of power on the strike and Vicario parries it away.
Tottenham 0-0 West Ham
12:41 , Matt Verri
10 mins: This one whipped straight in, but Paqueta does well to flick it away at the back post under pressure from Solanke.
And now they can break through Emerson... Spurs do well and slow things down.
Tottenham 0-0 West Ham
12:39 , Matt Verri
9 mins: Some possession at long last for West Ham, although Areola puts a stop to that by pinging it straight out of play.
With the way Spurs’ full-backs get forward, you have to think there will be chances for Bowen and Kudus on the break.
For now though, a third Spurs corner.
Tottenham 0-0 West Ham
12:37 , Matt Verri
6 mins: Just wide!
Kilman with a poor header in the West Ham box, tight angle but Johnson lashes an effort at goal anyway.
Not far away at all from finding the far corner.
Tottenham 0-0 West Ham
12:36 , Matt Verri
5 mins: Solanke pokes it wide to Son, but the offside flag is up.
Don’t think West Ham have left their own half yet, it’s been constant pressure from the hosts without really creating anything.
Dom Smith at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
12:33 , Matt Verri
James Maddison a little frustrated at Cristian Romero for not having seen his run in behind just now.
Tottenham have made a bright start in the early moments, although the short corner they have just fluffed is not one Ange Postecoglou will want to see again...
Tottenham 0-0 West Ham
12:33 , Matt Verri
3 mins: Early corner for Spurs, Kulusevski over to take it.
Taken short... and Maddison makes a mess of the pass back to the Swede.
That routine needs a bit more work.
KICK-OFF!
12:31 , Matt Verri
We’re up and running!
Here we go!
12:28 , Matt Verri
Teams are out in north London.
It has been a fairly miserable morning on the weather front, but the rain has halted. For now.
Not long now!
12:22 , Matt Verri
Warm-ups done, players will be in the tunnel very shortly.
Only two points between these two sides in the table, even though it feels like they have had very different starts to the season.
Spurs have been praised for how they’ve played, but they sit ninth and already eight points off the top.
Postecoglou speaks ahead of kick-off...
12:16 , Matt Verri
Get the impression the Spurs boss isn’t fully over that Brighton defeat yet!
"It's a derby and it means a lot to the fans. It's up to us to earn that support" 🙌

Good memories for West Ham
12:07 , Matt Verri
The Hammers actually have a fairly decent record here in recent year.
They beat Spurs 2-1 in north London last season, while there was a 3-3 draw in 2020 and a 1-0 victory the year before.
However, not since 1966 have West Ham won back-to-back games away from home in the league against Tottenham.
Chance to make history this afternoon.

Pre-match thoughts from Lopetegui
11:50 , Matt Verri
Only two wins in the Premier League so far this season, but Julen Lopetegui insists that West Ham are not lacking in confidence.
"The past is the past,” he says.
“We play against a big team with big quality at home. We have to be ready with a good answer."
"It always means more if you get three points [in a derby]. We know this about the fans, but we put our focus on the pitch.”
Look away, Spurs fans...
11:42 , Matt Verri
There’s been a lot of talk about this match in recent days, with it fair to say Ange Postecoglou remains deeply unimpressed with how his side fell apart.
Two goals up at half-time against Brighton... Spurs left with nothing.
Postecoglou: Mason happy to stay at Spurs
11:35 , Matt Verri
Ange Postecoglou has insisted Ryan Mason remains 'committed' to Tottenham after missing out on the Anderlecht job.
The Spurs assistant coach held talks with the Belgian giants after they sacked Brian Riemer last month.
However, Mason will stay at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after they appointed David Hubert as head coach.
“I have always worked on the premise that part of my role is also developing coaches and it is something I take great pride in,” Postecoglou said.
“Ryan is obviously someone who sees himself as one day taking that opportunity. It’s a really important decision for the guys. It’s not like we want them to leave and certainly with Ryan, he is doing a great job for us here.
“To be fair to Ryan, he was pretty straightforward with it. I said to him I didn’t want it drawn out, taking any time, and he didn’t. He is really happy where he is now and committed to us.”
Key players back for Spurs!
11:24
Heung-min Son returns for Tottenham, he’s fit enough to start this afternoon and take back the captain’s armband.
Yves Bissouma comes into the midfield, as Rodrigo Bentancur drops to the bench, and Richarlison is back from injury to be named among the substitutes.
As for West Ham, Niclas Fullkrug remains out so it’s a familiar front three. Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio and Mohammed Kudus tasked with troubling that Spurs defence.

Hojbjerg to seal permanent Marseille move
11:04 , Matt Verri
Marseille sporting director Mehdi Benatia has confirmed the club will sign on-loan Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg permanently.
Spurs loaned the Denmark international to Marseille with an obligation to make the move permanent for a fee of around £17m.
Hojbjerg has impressed so far this season at the French club, helping them climb to third in Ligue 1.
And Benatia has revealed they are keen for him to become a permanent member of Roberto De Zerbi’s squad.
“Pierre has signed a loan agreement with an option to buy, so the move will soon become permanent,” Benatia told Danish sports magazine Tipsbladet.
Lopetegui: Extra passion of derby will help us
10:56 , Matt Verri
West Ham have already had a few London derby matches this season, beating Crystal Palace before earning a point away to Fulham and then losing comfortably against Chelsea.
This, though, is the one Hammers fans really care about, with Julen Lopetegui insisting he is aware of the added pressure.
“I know this is a big derby in London and means a lot to our fans,” Lopetegui said.
“We don’t need any other reason to be ready. We’re going to have over 3,000 fans at the stadium, and we will be ready to work hard and get a good result for them.
“Our fans are always the best for us, and this is a good thing for us.
“The extra passion in these games is always good for the environment, the fans, the players, and also us.”
Spurs must produce response
10:46 , Matt Verri
As Tottenham's internationals filtered back to Hotspur Way this week, they should not have expected a warm reception from Ange Postecoglou, writes Dan Kilpatrick.
The Spurs head coach can be cool with his players at the best of times but he has spent this international break stewing over his side's collapse from 2-0 at half-time to lose 3-2 at Brighton last time out.
Postecoglou even said in a broadcast interview this week that he is “ready to explode” on his players as a form of "therapy", and it felt like he was only half-joking.
Postecoglou had no chance to properly address the bulk of his squad at the Amex before they left for international duty but most of the players will have since seen his loaded post-match comments, when the Australian accused them of a lack of "fight" and failing to do the basics.
It was a direct hit on their mentalities - not nearly as extreme as Antonio Conte's final rant as Spurs boss after a similar collapse at Southampton, but with the same underlying message - and one of things Postecoglou has likely been "sitting on" this fortnight is whether the game was a one-off or evidence of a more ingrained problem in his young squad.
In the building!

Standard Sport prediction
10:28 , Matt Verri
It’s always difficult to predict games accurately after the international break, but Spurs can surely be expected to start with real intensity after that Brighton collapse.
West Ham have largely struggled this season, and this could be another frustrating afternoon.
Tottenham to win, 3-1.
West Ham team news
10:21 , Matt Verri
West Ham are set to once again be without striker Niclas Fullkrug.
He suffered an Achilles injury last month while away on international duty with Germany and returned to training before the Carabao Cup defeat by Liverpool, but is still not fit enough to return after a setback.
West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui has revealed that the 31-year-old suffered some “complications” in his return from injury and his comeback date remains unclear.
"He initially thought he had one non-important injury, but he has had complications and we are waiting to recover him,” said the Irons chief of his striker.
"We thought he would be out for a maximum of two weeks, but right now he is out and I don't say anything about how long he will be out. We will see."
Predicted West Ham XI: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson, Rodriguez, Soucek, Paqueta, Kudus, Bowen, Antonio
Tottenham team news
10:11 , Matt Verri
Heung-min Son is set to be available again for Tottenham this afternoon.
The South Korean has missed the last three matches and his country's internationals after picking up a muscle injury against Qarabag in the Europa League last month but has trained this week.
In a major boost to Tottenham’s forward options, Richarlison is also back with the first team though likely to start on the bench against the Hammers, with Postecoglou having already promised to be cautious with the Brazilian following his latest injury lay-off.
Wilson Odobert remains sidelined, with Ange Postecoglou hopeful that the French forward will be back in training next week, while Lucas Bergvall picked up a knock on Sweden duty but should be fit to make the squad this weekend.
Son is likely to replace Timo Werner in Spurs' front line but Postecoglou is otherwise expected to name a similar team to the 3-2 defeat at Brighton last time out, despite Spurs' second-half collapse from 2-0 up on the south coast.
Predicted Tottenham (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Kulusevski, Maddison; Johnson, Son, Solanke
