West Ham fans felt that Tottenham's Yves Bissouma had blocked a cross with his arm early in the game, but the referee did not agree. Before the quarter-hour mark, Tottenham scored the first goal of the game. Djed Spence sent a long ball forward for Mathys Tel, who chased after it and forced Max Kilman into an error. Tel then played a pass to Wilson Odobert, who had time to take a touch before rolling the ball into the net for his first league goal with Tottenham.

West Ham responded well to the goal, and another Tottenham player was accused of handling the ball, but the referee did not intervene. However, just 15 minutes after falling behind, West Ham's captain Jarrod Bowen equalized with a goal from a narrow angle, after being set up by a perfectly weighted pass from Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Richarlison had several chances to give Tottenham the lead, but he steered a cross over the top and then hit a cross-shot that drifted across the face of the goal. In the second half, the first real chance fell to West Ham, but Jarrod Bowen's dipping volley went wide of the post.

West Ham's Mohammed Kudus caused trouble for Tottenham throughout the game, and on 70 minutes, his whipped cross connected with Niclas Füllkrug's head, but the German player couldn't keep his header down.

Tottenham was missing several key players, including Son Heung-min, James Maddison, and Dominic Solanke, who were not risked after picking up knocks in a recent UEFA Europa League match.

Tottenham's coach Ange Postecoglou's side struggled to create anything of note in the second half, and their best chance of a winner came when Pape Matar Sarr hit a vicious effort from range that went over the top.

With less than 10 minutes remaining, Jarrod Bowen came close to scoring again with a diving near-post header, but the West Ham goalkeeper had to react quickly to parry the ball away.

In the end, the match ended in a draw, which denied West Ham a first victory since February. West Ham remains 17th in the league, a point and a place behind Tottenham, who will focus on their European duties this week.
