This result caused Tottenham to miss the opportunity to leave MU on the rankings. At this time, the gap between the “Roosters” and the “Red Devils” is 9 points, while Tottenham plays more than one match. If they win this round, Erik ten Hag and his team will close the gap with Spurs to 6 points.

In the rest of the season, Tottenham still has to face all three clubs racing for the championship (Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City). Therefore, the possibility of coach Ange Postecoglou and his students “falling apart” is quite large..

Returning to the match at London’s Olympic Stadium, Tottenham entered the game proactively and only needed 5 minutes to breach the home goal. From Timo Werner’s breakthrough, Brennan Johnson was there just in time to cushion the goal and defeat Fabianski.

While busy attacking to find the second goal, Tottenham was suddenly conceded by West Ham from a set situation in the 19th minute. After Jarrod Bowen’s corner kick, Kurt Zouma headed dangerously, bringing the derby to a close. London returns to the starting line.

In the second half, Tottenham could no longer maintain the initiative. “Rooster” even almost let the host take the lead, after finishing shots from Michail Antonio and Lucas Paqueta.

At 90+3 minutes of extra time, Spurs had a golden opportunity to finish off their opponent. From close range, Destiny Udogie put the ball right in the goalkeeper’s chosen position. 1-1 is the final score.
