Tottenham Hotspur were beaten by West Ham United in the latest London derby, despite taking an early lead through Cristian Romero’s header. Jarrod Bowen equalised after the break and James Ward-Prowse condemned Spurs to a fourth defeat in five league games with his winner.

Unusually, it’s West Ham who have European commitments this season and Tottenham who do not, after David Moyes’ team triumphed in the Europa Conference League last term amid Tottenham’s domestic struggles.

Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United

The Hammers look to respond before half-time. Kudus skips inside from the right wing and evades a couple of challenges. He then looks for Paqueta, who is unable to accept his pass due to being in an offside position, and that takes the sting out of the visitors' threat.

West Ham survive again. Fabianski can only punch Lo Celso's cross straight to Kulusevski, whose shot is blocked by Emerson, before Bissouma eventually sends the follow-up attempt over.

Spurs maintain their threat with West Ham struggling to get out. Johnson latches onto a clever throughball into the box, but he shoots straight at Fabianski from a tight angle.

SAVE! After Paqueta makes his way to the sidelines, Tottenham look to capitalise on their brief numerical advantage. The ball sits up nicely for Lo Celso to strike on the volley from the edge of the box, but Fabianski does well to beat it away.

There is a concern for West Ham as Paqueta stays down and is in need of attention. The medical team enter the pitch to tend to the midfielder.

Kudus is one-on-one with Vicario after latching onto a throughball, but drags his shot wide of the target. However, his blushes are somewhat spared by the late rising of the offside flag.

West Ham look to counter and Ward-Prowse quickly switches the play to Paqueta. But the latter's touch is too heavy and Spurs can clear their lines.

Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United

Following Romero's header, West Ham have now failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 12 away Premier League matches. Although, the Hammers will be encouraged by the fact they have scored at least once in their last eight such games.

Kudus dispossesses Udogie deep inside the Tottenham half and goes for goal from range. It is on target, but never troubling Vicario.

Tottenham are still a goal to the good at the midway point of an entertaining first half. Romero's header separates the sides, but both are looking dangerous going forward.
