Not only was it possible to accommodate the duels on a Saturday of the reporting week on the condition of a “derby”, some matches were held in the Sunday part of the football weekend. As part of the fifth day of the English Premier League, a club from its eastern part, West Ham, went to visit Tottenham in the north of the British capital. In addition to the obvious principles of the regional showdown, this fight was also extremely important in the showdown on a technical level – José Mourinho approached the first stage of Alex Fergusson’s record (14-game head-to-head clash with David O’Liarley without defeat ), having managed not to lose to David Moyes in the last 14 meetings before the reporting game.
The prerequisites for a successful thirteenth game for the Spurs manager existed in terms of Tottenham’s superiority in the standings and two weeks ago from the pogrom in the match with Manchester United (6: 1). However, the “hammers” in the recent past managed to get away from the initial losing streak with the help of two “dry” victories over Wolverhampton (4: 0) and Leicester (3: 0), thanks to which they immediately moved in the middle of the ranking. It was difficult to judge the current state of the teams in light of the national team’s match break, but the conditions they have won, if there were no such break, would almost certainly guarantee a tense showdown for spectators.
The reliability of the West Ham defense lasted exactly 40 seconds into the fight. Kane, from his half of the field, gave an accurate pass to Sonu’s play, after which the Korean did not notice the resistance of Balbuena in front of him in the penalty area. Tottenham acted in the attack by the interval method, periodically increasing the speed in half of the opponents to the maximum values. This approach worked for the second objective. Only the hosts recoiled from the shock as a result of Antonio’s failure from the goalkeeper’s limits, when Hoybjerg and Son immediately discovered the moment to hit Kane from an average distance into the lower left corner. And, not to go too far back in his own half, Harry scored a double, completing Regilon’s serve from the left flank with a head hit on the next positional attack.
Should you give up after those initial 16 minutes? At first, West Ham thought it was worth doing. Moyes’s team was not noticed in attack for most of the fight, but the beginning of the second half allowed for talk of the budding, at the time, crazy comeback. Fornals’ failure from a few yards to the gate at the end of the presentation from the left flank was seen as the final sentence to the ‘hammer’ ambitions, but Tottenham did not react at this point. Mourinho continued to double the line of play from defense, following the lead of three successful shots in a similar situation.
The “Spurs” released Bale, Winks and Lucas onto the field, but this did not increase the speed of the ball moving towards the hosts. Only Kane tried to contain his next ball with periodic shots from outside the area, but Fabianski confidently reflected all attempts. But the Moyes substitution turned out to be much more effective than the counterpart on the training bridge. Yarmolenko and Lancini came out in the first game, and then Snodgrass further improved the efficiency of his team’s flanks.
From the left vector of the attack, after playing from set pieces, the guests scored two goals, and from Yarmolenko’s side came an excellent heel pass to the play of Zoufalu, whose center in his own goal was cut by Sánchez. The personal goals of West Ham players are the pinnacle of performance. That header near Balbuena’s right post at the end of Cresswell’s pass, that crazy shot on Lancini’s right nine from the end of the penalty area in the fourth minute offset. The Hammers only had one chance to get this game out: wait for a chance. And this tactic worked. It worked brilliantly!
In the next round, Tottenham will play a visit to Burnley, but earlier in the UEFA Europa League they will meet Austrian LASK. West Ham is not burdened by participation in European competition this season, so it will be preparing for a home game against Manchester City all week.
