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.

The hosts go straight onto the attack as Udogie wins possession high up the field. He finds Son, who in turn slips the ball through for Kulusevski on the edge of the box. The latter goes to ground after colliding with Fabianski, but a goal-kick is given. He appeared to be in an offside position anyway, so any goal would likely not have counted.

David Moyes also makes two alterations from West Ham. Zouma returns to captain the Hammers in the heart of defence after missing the weekend draw with Crystal Palace following a burglary at his home. The other change comes in goal with Fabianski replacing Alphonse Areola. The visitors remain without Michail Antonio, who is still coming back from a knee injury.
