Tottenham Hotspur’s 4-1 demolition of West Ham United has piled pressure on Hammers manager Julen Lopetegui. Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou’s comments added salt to the wound.
Postecoglou’s Verdict
“We blew them away,” Postecoglou told Tottenham’s media team. “West Ham gave us an arm wrestle in the first half, but we dominated the second half, showing all facets of our game.”
West Ham’s Collapse
West Ham started strong, with Mohammed Kudus scoring after 18 minutes. However, Tottenham leveled before halftime and then scored three goals in eight minutes in the second half.
Kudus’ Red Card
Kudus’ late red card for flooring three Tottenham players sealed West Ham’s fate. Former referee Mike Dean expects a six-game ban.
Lopetegui Under Pressure
The defeat has intensified scrutiny on Lopetegui. His team’s inability to respond to Tottenham’s dominance raises concerns.
Postecoglou’s Comments Spark Reaction
Postecoglou’s assessment should motivate Lopetegui and his players to restore pride.
“Hang your heads in shame, West Ham,” wrote Damien Charles Lucas. “For a Tottenham manager to say his team blew West Ham away and should have won 5 or 6-1 is utterly embarrassing.”
