Tottenham v West Ham player ratings: Udogie 4, Son 6; Bowen 7, Kudus 8

Hammers fight back to seal 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

• 

  Guglielmo Vicario 5

  SPURS RATINGS: Made routine save to deny Kudus in 25th minute. Was at fault in the build-up to the visitors’ second goal; he should have been braver by holding onto the ball instead of punching it. AFPShow less

• 

  Pedro Porro 6

  Enjoyed plenty of space in early on in game as Spurs went in search of an goal. Stung Fabianski’s palms with a fierce effort in 73rd minute. AFP

• 

  Cristian Romero 7

  Announced his return from suspension in style with a cracking header to give the home side the lead. Unlucky to have inadvertently played a part in the Hammers’ second goal. AFP

• 

  Ben Davies 5

  Unfortunate to see the ball come off him and into the path of Bowen for opening goal. Looked shaky when West Ham piled on pressure after restart. EPA

• 

  Destiny Udogie 4

  Had lively start to game, during which he caused the Hammers’ defence problems. His short back pass towards Vicario led to Ward Prowse’s goal. PA

• 

  Yves Bissouma 5

  A quiet game for former Brighton midfielder. Not at his disruptive best but was tidy in possession. Hit a shot high and wide when he had a chance to test Fabianski in the 39th minute. Getty Images

• 

  Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg 6

  Immense in first half. Helped home side gain control of the midfield and mopped up the few counter-attacks the away side mustered. Seemed to tire quickly when West Ham upped the tempo in second half. APShow less

• 

  Giovani Lo Celso 6

  Starting his third consecutive game, Lo Celso struggled to find openings in West Ham’s low block defence deployed in the first half. Tried to catch Fabianski off guard with a curler in the 20th minute, but he failed to keep his effort on target. EPAShow less

• 

  Dejan Kulusevski 5

  Denied a certain goal by Emerson when Fabianski rushed out to intercept a cross and left his goal open. Disappointing with his crosses and shots. Getty Images

• 

  Brennan Johnson 5

  Saw a shot well blocked by Coufal after qurter-of-an-hour. Failed to get enough power behind another effort when he was played in by Son later in first half. Had two other chances but both efforts were also weak. Getty ImagesShow less

• 

  Son Heung-min 6

  Forced Fabianski into a routine save early on. Retreated deep and out wide due to West Ham’s low block. Substituted late in the game after picking up knock. EPA

• 

  Oliver Skipp 6

  SUBS: (Lo Celso, 67) Sat back and helped mop up loose balls as his teammates went forward in search of a late equaliser. AFP

• 

  Richarlison 5

  (Hojbjerg, 67) Should have scored with his first touch of the game, but he failed to keep header on target. EPA

  Pape Sarr N/A

  (Johnson, 84) Had good chance to level the score after coming on but he blazed his effort high. Saw another effort blocked in the 89th minute. Getty Images

  Bryan Gil N/A

• 

  Lukasz Fabianski 6

  WEST HAM RATINGS: Made brilliant save to deny Lo Celso in the 35th minute. Superb when dealing with crosses. AP

• 

  Vladimir Coufal 6

  Almost cost the visitors in opening minute when he was beaten to the ball by Udogie. Attacked well, though, and had hand in equaliser. EPA

• 

  Kurt Zouma 7

  Made last-ditch clearance to stop Lo Celso cross that was heading for Son in first-half added time. Brilliant in the second half. Reuters

• 

  Nayef Aguerd 7

  Beaten in the air by Romero for Spurs’ goal. Recovered well and was arguably Hammers’ best defender on the night. AFP

• 

  Emerson 6

  Went on a mazy run during which he skipped past two Spurs players, but Kudus failed to stay onside to finish his through-ball. Denied Kulusevski a goal with a block in 39th minute. AFP

• 

  James Ward Prowse 7

  Not his most influential of performances but he took his opportunity when it finally arrived. Scored winner 11 minutes from time with a simple finish after his first effort came back off the post. Getty ImagesShow less

• 

  Edson Alvarez 6

  Very busy first half chasing shadows during with Spurs completely dominating. Stepped up his game in the second half and helped the away side gain control. Reuters

• 

  Lucas Paqueta 6

  Had good chance to level the scores on stroke of half-time, but his header was poor and didn't trouble Vicario. Tucked in well and helped Emerson in defence after Hammers went in front. EPA

• 

  Tomas Soucek 6

  Played in an unfamiliar role just behind the striker, Soucek was forced backwards and helped West Ham win midfield battle in the second half. His height proved important when defending crosses late in game. AFPShow less

• 

  Jarrod Bowen 7

  Levelled the scores, albeit with a little bit of luck, with fierce effort that was too much for Vicario. The goal seemed to fill him with confidence as he caused plenty of problems for Spurs defence for rest of second half. ReutersShow less

• 

  Mohammed Kudus 8

  Had the visitors’ first shot on target with weak effort in 24th minute. Excellent work to shield Davies off the ball and find Paqueta at the back post with lovely cross. Played a part in the opener as his shot came off both Spurs centre-backs and fell to feet of Bowen. ReutersShow less

Tottenham Hotspur's inability to convert leads into Premier League points returned with a vengeance in a 2-1 home defeat by West Ham United.

A lacklustre West Ham were completely outplayed in the opening half in which the returning Cristian Romero's header was scant reward for Tottenham's domination.

But the Hammers were much improved after the break and Jarrod Bowen's equaliser in the 52nd minute changed the complexion of the London derby as Tottenham's early confidence ebbed away.

Spurs then self-destructed in the 74th minute when Destiny Udogie's under-hit back pass caused chaos and James Ward-Prowse tucked in a rebound after his initial shot rebounded back to him off the post.

West Ham comfortably soaked up some late Tottenham pressure and held on for a victory that moved them within three points of their rivals.

The Hammers have won five of their past six fixtures across all competitions while Tottenham suffered their fourth defeat in five and dropped points from a winning position for a fifth consecutive game.

“I think it is a huge win to come here and win against this side,” Hammers manager David Moyes told BBC Radio 5 Live. “I'm pleased with how we were resilient and diligent in our work, organised, defensively structured and we were always a threat as well.”
