In a thrilling seven-minute stretch in the second half, Tottenham energized themselves against their London counterparts, West Ham, in the Premier League match that kicked off on Saturday.
After a tied score of 1-1 at the break, Yves Bissouma ignited the action with a goal in the 53rd minute, leading to a barrage of goals that the Hammers would like to forget.
Heung-Min Son made a significant impact upon his return from injury, playing a pivotal role in the rapid succession of goals.
Following Bissouma’s tally that put Spurs ahead, Son pressured Alphonse Areola into an own goal and then added a fourth goal himself.
Son’s exhilarating performance drew attention, with notable sports journalist Miguel Delaney likening his impact to that of the iconic Eric Cantona.
Even those neutral to both teams could not help but acknowledge Son’s brilliance, as a fan with a ‘CFC’ username praised him, calling him “phenomenal” in their remarks.
With Ange Postcoglou’s squad eager to improve after a rocky start to their season, this explosive display against another London rival could mark a turning point for Spurs in the ongoing 2024/25 season.
