West Ham Player Ratings vs Tottenham Hotspur

Have a look at the West Ham Player Ratings from the Tottenham vs West Ham Player Ratings.

Goalkeeper

Alphonse Areola - 7.5: We thought Areola was solid between the sticks. He made five crucial saves, a couple of which were top-drawer to keep his team in it. His command of the box was impressive, especially with that punch and a confident high claim. He couldn't do anything about the Romero goal; it was a perfect header. His distribution was a bit hit-and-miss, but defensively, he was excellent.

Defenders

Konstantinos Mavropanos - 7.0: A really busy day for the big defender. He was a rock at the back, making an incredible 13 clearances. What stood out to us was his dominance in the air, winning four of his five aerial duels. He was aggressive, maybe a little too much with two fouls, but his presence was vital. A strong showing from the Greek international.

Jean-Clair Todibo - 7.0: A very composed performance alongside Mavropanos. His passing was crisp and accurate, with a 91% success rate. He won seven of his nine duels, showing great strength and timing. We noticed his excellent reading of the game with five tackles and nine ball recoveries. A really tidy and effective display.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 6.0: A mixed bag from Wan-Bissaka. While he won a surprising number of aerials, he struggled in his one-on-one duels, losing ten of them. From our perspective, he seemed to be targeted by the Spurs' attackers. He did make seven clearances but also committed four fouls, showing signs of being overwhelmed at times. He needs to be stronger in the tackle.

Oliver Scarles - 6.5: A decent outing for the young defender. He was neat on the ball, but his final delivery was lacking, with only one of his seven crosses finding its man. Defensively, he was okay, making four clearances and a couple of interceptions. He got beaten a couple of times but showed good recovery pace. A learning experience for him.

Midfielders

Crysencio Summerville - 8.5: What a performance from this man. He was the best player on the pitch by a country mile. From our perspective, his early goal set the tone for the entire match. It was a clinical finish. He was a constant thorn in Tottenham's side, creating three chances and always looking to run at his man. We noticed his confidence growing with every touch. Five shots in total show his intent. He was simply electric and deservedly the highest rated player.

Mateus Fernandes - 8.0: The engine room of the team today. He provided a brilliant assist for the opening goal. His defensive work was immense, with four interceptions, six ball recoveries, and five tackles. He controlled the midfield tempo with his passing and broke up play effectively. An all-action display that was crucial to the win.

Jarrod Bowen - 6.0: A frustrating afternoon for the captain. He worked incredibly hard, as always, but lost possession 22 times which is far too many. He won a good number of duels but his final product wasn't there today. He got a yellow card for a clumsy challenge. It felt like he was trying too hard to make things happen.

Tomáš Souček - 7.0: A typical Souček performance. He was a disruptive force in midfield, making seven clearances and three interceptions. He was a threat from set-pieces and created two chances for his teammates. He missed a big chance himself but his defensive contribution was invaluable. Picked up a cynical yellow late on.

Forwards

Taty Castellanos - 5.0: A very poor day at the office for the striker. He got an early yellow card and never really settled. He missed a big chance that he should have buried. His hold-up play was weak, losing five duels and giving the ball away far too often. He looked off the pace and was rightly substituted.

Pablo - 5.5: Similar to his strike partner, Pablo struggled to make a significant impact. While he won a few aerial duels, his passing was atrocious with only 50% accuracy. He lost the ball 14 times and was largely anonymous before being taken off. He needs to offer more in these big games.

Substitutes

Guido Rodríguez - 6.5: Came on late to shore up the midfield and did his job well. Kept it simple and helped see out the victory.

Callum Wilson - 8.0: The super-sub and the match-winner. He was on the pitch for only a few minutes but showed his poacher's instinct to be in the right place at the right time. A fantastic contribution that won his team the three points.

Manager

N. Simões Espírito Santo - 8.0: His game plan worked to perfection. He set his team up to be solid and hit on the counter. His decision to bring on Callum Wilson was a stroke of genius. A massive tactical victory for the West Ham manager against a tough opponent.

Tottenham Player Ratings vs West Ham

Have a look at the Tottenham Player Ratings from the Tottenham vs West Ham Player Ratings.

Goalkeeper

Guglielmo Vicario - 6.0: Conceded twice but couldn't be blamed for either goal. The first was a precise finish, and the second a point-blank scramble. He made a couple of decent save,s and his distribution was impeccable, with 94% pass accuracy. An unfortunate day for the Italian keeper.

Defenders

Cristian Romero - 8.0: A proper warrior's performance from the Spurs captain. He dragged his team back into the game with that brilliant header. What stood out to us was his sheer dominance in the air, winning nine aerial duels. He was everywhere at the back, making crucial tackles and interceptions. Yes, he got a yellow card, but that's just part of his all-action style. He did everything he could to win this match for his team.

Pedro Porro - 7.5: A huge creative outlet for Spurs. He provided the assist for Romero's goal and created a staggering six chances throughout the game. His crossing was a constant threat, though he lost possession a lot as a result of his attacking ambition. Defensively, he was sound enough. A very good attacking performance from the full-back.

Ben Davies - 5.0: A short and painful outing for Davies. He was forced off with an injury after just 19 minutes. In that time, he managed to pick up a yellow card. It was a day to forget for the Welshman.

Micky van de Ven - 6.5: A solid but unspectacular game from the Dutchman. His passing was tidy, but he struggled at times in his duels, winning only half of them. He made some important blocks and clearances, but also picked up a booking. He was part of a defence that looked vulnerable on the break.

Midfielders

Xavi Simons - 7.0: He was the creative spark for much of the game. He was always looking for the ball, trying to make things happen, and created three chances. However, he lost possession 21 times, which really hurt his team's momentum. He had a few shots but couldn't find the breakthrough. A lively but ultimately frustrating performance.

Mathys Tel - 6.0: A mixed performance. He was involved in some bright attacking moments and created two chances, but his shooting was wayward, with all three of his shots off target. He was a willing runner but was dispossessed too easily at times. Substituted after an hour.

Archie Gray - 5.5: A tough first half for the youngster. He struggled to get into the game and was often bypassed in midfield. He picked up a yellow card for a clumsy foul. It was no surprise to see him hooked at halftime. He's a talent, but this wasn't his day.

Conor Gallagher - 6.5: A typical hardworking display from Gallagher. He was full of energy, winning duels and trying to drive his team forward. He successfully completed both his dribble attempts. His final ball was sometimes lacking, but you can never fault his effort.

Wilson Odobert - 6.0: He had his moments, particularly with a header that forced a save. But he also missed a big chance and his decision-making in the final third was questionable. He created a couple of opportunities but was generally inconsistent before being subbed off.

Forwards

Randal Kolo Muani - 5.5: Very quiet game for the striker. He struggled to get involved, with only 28 touches in the entire match. His pass accuracy was poor and he failed to register a single shot. He won a few duels but offered very little goal threat. A disappointing performance.

Substitutes

Djed Spence - 5.5: Came on for the injured Davies but had a difficult time. He was booked and gave away a few fouls, looking a little rash.

Yves Bissouma - 7.0: Made a real difference when he came on at half-time. He brought control and drive to the midfield, forcing a couple of good saves from Areola with shots from distance.

Dominic Solanke - 6.0: Didn't have much time to make an impact. He worked hard, but the service to him was poor.

Lucas Bergvall - N/A: Came on in the 90th minute with not enough time to influence the game.

Manager

T. Frank - 6.0: His team had plenty of possession and created chances but lacked a clinical edge. The late goal conceded will be a huge blow. His halftime substitution of Bissouma was a good move, but ultimately, his side couldn't find the winning goal and were punished for it.
