BPL Report (2023/24): Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 2 West Ham United

Jarrod Bowen smashes the ball into the Tottenham net

Jarrod Bowen is West Ham's top scorer with nine goals across all competitions this season

 

West Ham United manager David Moyes called his side's comeback at Tottenham "one of the biggest wins I've had in football" as they continued their fine run of form.

 

Cristian Romero's early header had given Spurs a deserved opener in the 11th minute as the defender nodded in Pedro Porro's corner with a looping effort.

 

But Jarrod Bowen hit back for the Hammers, latching on to a loose ball in the penalty area and firing in a 52nd-minute equaliser.

 

And, after a poor backpass from Spurs defender Destiny Udogie, James Ward-Prowse side-footed an effort against the post before knocking in the rebound to complete West Ham's turnaround in the 74th minute.

 

"I think it is a huge win to come here and win against this side," Moyes told BBC Radio 5 Live.

 

"I'm pleased with how we were resilient and diligent in our work, organised, defensively structured and we were always a threat as well."

 

West Ham have won five of their past six fixtures across all competitions while Tottenham suffered their fourth defeat in five and have dropped points from a winning position for a fifth consecutive game.
