Hammers Hammered: West Ham Fall to Spurs in Brutal Derby Defeat

The North London derby was a tale of two halves, with Tottenham absolutely dominating West Ham in a 4-1 drubbing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

It was a tough night for the Hammers, who looked like they were still recovering from their midweek Europa Conference League loss to AEK Athens. The game was a battle from the get-go, with both sides going toe-to-toe in the first half. However, it was Spurs who started to take control towards the end of the first half, and they punished West Ham with a clinical display of attacking football in the second.

The first goal came from a well-worked Spurs move in the 32nd minute. Dejan Kulusevski found Son Heung-min with a pinpoint pass, and the South Korean expertly slotted the ball past Alphonse Areola.

The second half was a complete rout for Spurs. They added three more goals in a devastating display of attacking football.

First, Kulusevski was on the scoresheet himself in the 52nd minute, capitalizing on a defensive error to score a cool finish. Then, just five minutes later, Harry Kane extended Spurs' lead with a trademark header from a James Maddison cross.

West Ham managed to pull one back in the 65th minute through a clever back-heel flick from Lucas Paqueta, but it was a mere consolation goal in the face of Spurs' relentless attack.

The final nail in the coffin came in the 72nd minute when Son Heung-min bagged his second of the evening, making it 4-1 with a powerful shot from close range.

This result leaves West Ham in a difficult position, as they remain winless after three games in the Premier League. They'll need to find their form quickly if they want to avoid another season of struggle.

Meanwhile, Spurs are flying high, with three wins from their first three games. They are a real threat to challenge for the title this season.

It was a night to forget for West Ham, but a night to remember for Tottenham.
