Graham Roberts says three Tottenham players were truly ‘fantastic’ v West Ham

Tottenham Hotspur got back to winning ways in style on Saturday as they ran out 4-1 winners against a hapless West Ham United outfit in North London.

🎉Spurs were eager to make amends for their shock loss at Brighton before the international break, and they did so – after an initial scare.

🦄Ange Postecoglou’s charges were first to concede in the match as Jarrod Bowen cut the ball back for Mohammed Kudus to hammer home on 18 minutes.

However, Tottenham🌼 soon found a way back into the game, with James Maddison teeing up Dejan Kulusevski to equalise via both posts in the 36th minute.

ౠSpurs added a second in the 53rd minute as Son Heung-min and Destiny Udogie combined to set Yves Bissouma up for a neat finish, which ended up opening the floodgates.

꧑Tottenham made it three just two minutes later as Jean-Clair Todibo accidentally put the ball into the back of his own net in a moment Michael Dawson called “comical” on .

🎃Then, in the 60th minute, the Spurs captain got the better of Todibo with some stepovers before beating Alphonse Areola at his near post to make it 4-1 to Spurs.

ꦿAll in all, it was a great day at the office for Tottenham, and Spurs legend Graham Roberts loved what he saw.
