From London Stadium: The tenth goal of the Jarrod Bowen Premier League of the season won West Ham United a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur’s rival on Sunday afternoon.
The visitors took the lead through the 15-minute target of Wilson Odobert, punishing Max Kilman’s glittering error, but the rotary side of Ange Postecoglou could not cling to a West Ham team that was still looking for his slot under Graham Potter.
Bowen’s equalizer from an acute angle was a tremendous finish, but it turned out to be a rare brilliant spark in which it was another fairly flat exhibition in front of West Ham’s supporters.
As the game was deployed
With West Ham, sure of the relegation and the Tottenham without a doubt this Thursday Europe League Location of the second part of the second rally against Bodo/Glimt, it was not a surprise that things took a while to go to East London.
The 15 -minute Drabs caused life not because of a brilliant individual work, but an unnecessary mistake of Kilman that sums up a lot of West Ham season. Mathys Tel, caught the ball, could only look in horror, which told the referee for potential handball that was not in a larger inspection, as Odobert received the ball on a plate.
France under the age of 21 did the rest, passing in front of the landscape companion Alphanman Areola from a close to scoring his first goal from the Premier League to Spurs colors.
The advantage did not last long for Ange Postecoglou, as West Ham returned to the half -hour mark. A counter to the right allowed Aaron Wan-Bissaka Lisca Bowen behind, and advanced in the goal before shooting between the legs of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from the narrowest of the Angles.
Although there were more than 60,000 attendees, the goals did not bring the game to life, as both parties had no quality when it really mattered. Richarlison shot on the crossbar in the only significant moment of the first half, and the second was not much better, as the two teams canceled one another as soon as a final third attack was thrown.
It took to the final ten minutes to remove those from the stadium from his seat: the Bowen header, from the James Ward-Prowse piece, excellently, separated by the Vicario.
Archie Gray then diverted the ball to his nearby band, while Bowen re -entered, but would not have counted anyway, as the flag offset was late against the latter.
The final action of the game saw that James Ward-Prowse set fire to a free mark on the width of Vicario’s publication, which means that it still has to mark a piece for West Ham.
The strong postcoglou rotation was a certain sign that the encounter with West Ham does not matter in the great scheme of things. The Australian would have wanted to win, there is no question, but a four back from Archie Gray, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies and Djed Spence are enough evidence that the only important thing for Spurs is to win Europe League.
If the Spurs can do it, they win the right to play next season Champions league – Increase their ability to attract first -class players while enjoying the financial fall that comes from playing in the European football club competition.
What this game said to Postecoglou is that it will need an additional strengthening next season, if the Spurs have the depth of the squad to compete on various fronts. Richarlison looked up and rarely worried West Ham with his movement, while there is no doubt that Yves Bissouma can be updated in the midfield.
The Spurs are 16th in the Premier League for a reason and they did nothing here to suggest that they are much better than a West Ham struggling.
The season 2024/25 for West Ham It has been, for all purposes and purposes, has been a complete writing. The change required by the bored and tired supporters of David Moyes’s play style has not been delivered, and the hammers have been fortunate enough to be as clear about the lower three as they are. In any other season, they would have problems.
Not even Graham Potter’s appointment has energized West Ham, who actually had very little to play, as they left the third round of the Cup in early January. The last four months have been to readjust itself in a new style of play, although not even the most optimistic of the followers would say that it has been good.
The fact that the two teams of team Premier League The anthem when the players left the tunnel, and there was a lack of energy and pizzazz for what must be a clash between two rival fierce London.
There was a strange discomfort as handball shouts were ousted, and Bowen’s goal undoubtedly raised the mood at home. However, a complete reset is needed for West Ham to compete again at the level they have in recent seasons: the problem is that this blip has coincided with the tastes of Fulham, Bournemouth and Brentford improving.
TottenhamThe desire to present a new advance led to the signing of the loan of the deadline of Mathys Tel, a measure that at that time seemed like a good business, as it was desired by several more important teams on the continent.
This agreement includes the option for Spurs to make the permanent agreement this summer by paying the Bayern Munich in the region of 50 million pounds, a price that now seems to be known to any player who seems to have a talent.
The tel which is worth splashing is kept in cash or not. The 20-year-old is clearly capable of mixing it at the highest level, but it is not entirely clear what its best position is. The French argument would be in the middle as a central striker, while Ange Postecoglou has chosen to hook it on the left more often.
With the son Heck-Unc marked, this is where Tel returned to work here. It forced Kilman’s mistake to set Odobert’s goal, but did not bring the kind of threat you would like that a player can commit a significant part of your summer budget. Food to think for anyone in the unevenness of Spurs next season and for the driver of the pursuit ropes.
West Ham’s formation has changed completely under a potter, with Bowen and Mohammed Kudus moving to the central areas to allow the width to come from the wan Bissaka and Emerson wings, and there is no doubt that from the point of view of form and structure, they look better.
But there is an important ingredient for West Ham, which threatens to undermine everything he can try to get unless addressed. And this is a player who seizes midfield and dictates everything that happens.
Lucas Pocket is of the team to perform this function and cannot be argued against their individual capacity, touch and general weight of the passage. But one thing that allows the Brazilian to go down is the speed with which things are done home. Everything is a little too much worked and a little too pedestrian for what the West Ham needs, and sometimes it is trapped in possession to put the hammers under the cosh.
James Ward-Prowse, on the bench of this game, is not the answer and there is all the possibilities that the package comes out of the London stadium this summer. Given this, you can bet on Potter and their staff works on goals to contribute and add a different dynamic.
