The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.

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

It looks more like a basketball contest at the moment with both sides taking turns attacking. Following a neat exchange of passes, Lo Celso tries his luck from distance, but his attempt is high and wide of the target.

West Ham are awarded a corner and Ward-Prowse whips a dangerous delivery into the six-yard box. Zouma attacks it, but cannot quite keep his header on target under pressure from the goalkeeper.

Tottenham attack again and space opens for Son to take aim from the edge of the area. But the Spurs skipper sends his attempt straight into Fabianski's arms.

Although it did not end in a goal, West Ham will be encouraged by that response. The Hammers have been very much on the back foot so far, and must look to gain a foothold in the contest.

West Ham look to respond immediately and Kudus finds himself in an advanced position, but the offside flag stops him in his tracks.

Enjoying over 90 per cent of the possession, it has been a thoroughly dominant start by Spurs. Although, West Ham are doing well to maintain their concentration levels at the moment.

Of course, Tottenham have lost both their last two Premier League home games. You must go back to September 2008 under Juande Ramos for the last time they suffered three successive defeats on home soil.

A comedic moment sees Hojbjerg fall to the ground after getting his feet in a proper tangle inside the box. Sarcastic cheers can be heard from the away end and it is one of those moments where the Spurs midfielder will have hoped not many people saw!

Spurs threaten again following a corner. After their first threat is dealt with, Porro whips a delicious ball into the box from the left flank. However, Fabianski is alert and gathers from the air.
