Continuing into the second half, West Ham took the initiative to attack first.

West Ham have come close to keeping up if Pablo Fornals’ header in the 50th minute didn’t go over Tottenham’s goal.

Fornals seemed very frustrated at not being able to complete the opportunity when he was not protected in Tottenham’s empty goal mouth.

Going into the 60th minute, Tottenham slowly began to come off the pressure from West Ham United.

In the 61st minute, Fabianski made a brilliant save as he parried Harry Kane’s fiery right-footed shot from outside the area.

José Mourinho made a substitution in the 73rd minute. Mourinho gave the opportunity to make his debut for a player on loan from Real Madrid, Gareth Bale.

Gareth Bale’s first touch was a direct free kick that Fabianski caught.

Four minutes later, it was David Moyes’s turn to make changes. Moyes entered two fast wingers, namely Andriy Yarmolenko and Manuel Lanzini to increase Tottenham’s punching power.

In the 78th minute, Harry Kane had another golden opportunity to score a hat trick when he unleashed a strong left-foot shot from outside the penalty area.

However, Kane’s effort was thwarted this time by Tottenham’s goalpost.

West Ham’s effort to reduce the deficit paid off in the 82nd minute thanks to a goal from Fabián Balbuena.

Receiving feedback from Aaron Creswell’s free kick, Balbuena managed to win the aerial duel against Moussa Sissoko so he could score with a header.

The match became even more interesting when West Ham scored its second goal in the 84th minute.

West Ham’s second goal came from a Vladimir Coufal cross from the left side of the Tottenham defense.

Coufal’s bait ball became Hugo Lloris’ goal after Davinson Sánchez committed suicide.

Going into injury time, Gareth Bale has a chance to score the Spurs game-winner that will make the score 4-2.

Bale found space in the area after picking up some of the Hammers’ defenders, but his left-footed shot after facing the goalkeeper went wide.

Not taking advantage of these opportunities has costly fruits.

West Ham finally headed home with a point after Manuel Lanzini scored a nice shot from outside the area in second-half injury time.

The 3-3 score was the end of the Tottenham vs West Ham match.
