Tottenham Triumph in East London Derby

Tottenham Hotspur secured a 2-0 victory over West Ham United at London Stadium on Saturday, September 13, 2025, moving above their rivals in the Premier League table.

The visitors dominated possession and broke the deadlock midway through the first half before doubling their advantage after the interval, condemning West Ham to a fourth defeat in five home matches this season.

Early Control and Opener

Tottenham began the match on the front foot, controlling the midfield and creating the first clear chances. Their pressure paid off in the 27th minute when a precise finish opened the scoring, silencing the home crowd.

Second-Half Settle

After the break, Spurs maintained their momentum. A swift counterattack in the 63rd minute culminated in a composed strike to make it 2-0, effectively sealing the three points and deflating West Ham’s hopes of a comeback.

Decline for the Hammers

West Ham, fielding a reshuffled lineup following recent injury issues, struggled to create meaningful opportunities. Manager Graham Potter’s side saw limited shots on target and failed to breach the visitors’ well-organized defence. This defeat leaves the Hammers perilously close to the relegation zone after just one win in their opening six league games.

Spurs Surge Forward

Under Thomas Frank, Tottenham have now won three of their last four away fixtures, showcasing a resilient and dynamic style. The victory lifts Spurs to fourth place, maintaining their push for a top-four finish and Champions League qualification.
