Spurs half time ratings vs West Ham – An end-to-end contest
The half time whistle has just been blown by referee Andy Madley to conclude the first forty-five minutes in North London.
Spurs and West Ham are level at the interval 1-1 after goals from Kudus and Kulusevski.
Spurs are looking to enjoy a first win against West Ham since February 2023; a draw at the London Stadium in April of this year and a defeat in N17 last December means Ange Postecoglou is yet to claim victory over The Hammers.
The visitors, West Ham, have been in fragmented form ahead of today’s encounter. New boss Julen Lopetegui has been struggling to adapt to life in East London but will be determined to make a statement today.
Both sides are now in their respective dressing rooms, preparing to go toe-to-toe once again after an encapsulating first forty-five minutes.
We’ve analysed the individual displays from the Spurs players during the first half of the Premier League clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, giving them each a rating on a scale of 1-10.
How the Spurs player rated in the first half vs West Ham
Guglielmo Vicario: Made an impressive early save subject to a Kudus strike. Wasn’t heavily tested otherwise. 6.
Pedro Porro: Delivered an abundance of enticing crosses from Spurs right hand side that failed to find anyone. Almost scored a spectacular volley that flew just over. 7.
Cristian Romero: Played plenty of smooth, line-breaking passes as always. Didn’t have much to do defensively however. 6.
Micky Van de Ven: Defensively astute, as per. A tussle with Antonio being the highlight of his performance so far. 6.
Destiny Udogie: West Ham’s right hand side are passing around him as if he isn’t even there. Struggling to create much in possession but has made a few nice runs into the channel. His crosses have been pelow par, however. 5.
Yves Bissouma: Too cheap in possession, too easily torn apart in transition. Rusty. 5.
Dejan Kulusevski: Plenty of running from the Swede in the opening half an hour, before getting on the scoresheet with a fierce shot to equalise on 36′. Picking up where he left off. 8.
James Maddison: Persistently wasteful with his corners early on, but fed Kulusevski in with a lovely through ball after intercepting possession on the half-way line. He was positive with the ball every time he had it. 7.
Brennan Johnson: Left Kudus isolated for his early goal and has missed a few decent opportunities. He’s not the Brennan Johnson we’ve seen excel in these recent weeks. 5.
Dominic Solanke: Relatively non-existent. 4.
Heung-Min Son: The captain created plenty of opportunities in the first half, most notably curling a shot just wide of the post inside the opening quarter of an hour. Needs to take on his man more often; he can be too predictable at times. 6.
