Tottenham, where Son Heung-min played an active role in his return from injury, scored a great victory against West Ham United.

Tottenham defeated West Ham 4-1 in the eighth round of the 2024-25 Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 19th (Korea time). Tottenham gave Kudus the first goal in their showdown with West Ham, but ended the game with a come-from-behind victory, scoring four goals with Son Heung-min's strong performance.

For Tottenham, Solanke played as a striker against West Ham, and Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson led the side attack. Madison, Bissouma, and Kulusevski played midfielders, while Udoji, van der Ben, Romero, and Porro defended. The goal was guarded by Vicario.

In the face-off between the two teams, West Ham scored the first goal in the 18th minute of the first half with Kudus' right-footed shot in front of the goal gate. Tottenham, which fought back, took over Madison's pass in the 36th minute of the first half, and Kulusevski's left-footed shot from the left side of the penalty area brushed West Ham goalkeeper Areola's fingertips, hit both goal posts one after another and entered the goal gate, leading to an equalizer.

While the two teams exchanged one goal each during the first half, Tottenham scored a come-from-behind goal in the 8th minute of the second half with Bissouma's right foot shot from the front of the penalty area.

Tottenham's Son Heung-min induced West Ham's own goal in the 10th minute of the second half. West Ham goalkeeper Areola blocked Son Heung-min's left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area, but Areola's ball went into the goal after being hit by West Ham defender Todibo.

Then, in the 15th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min scored his team's fourth goal. Son took over Sarr's pass in a quick attack and dribbled through the West Ham side alone before splitting the West Ham goal with a left-footed shot from the penalty area.

Son Heung-min's right footed shot from the front of the penalty area in the 16th minute of the second half also hit the post. Son Heung-min finished his return match after replacing Werner in the 24th minute of the second half. West Ham self-destructed after Kudus, who hit Tottenham defender Van der Ben in the face in the 41st minute of the second half, was sent off with a red card after VAR, and Tottenham ended the match with a big victory.

While Son Heung-min's performance against West Ham was highly praised, positive reviews of Tottenham's performance continued. Townsend, who plays as a Premier League commentator, said on the Premier League website, "Tottenham played a one-sided game during the second half. Whenever Tottenham catches the ball, it looks like he will score a goal."

After the match, Son was named the best player in the game (MOM) by the Premier League secretariat. Son was selected as the MOM in a fan vote of 11,627 people, garnering 51.9 percent of the vote. 토토사이트
