West Ham United locked horns with Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier today as they looked to secure a victory in the London derby. The Hammers made a solid start to the game and managed to get to the half-time interval with a goalless scoreline.
Emerson Royal broke the deadlock for Spurs in the 56th minute before Heung-min Son put daylight between the two sides just 16 minutes later. The contest finished with David Moyes’ players crashing to a 2-0 derby defeat in the Premier League.
Let’s take a look at how each West Ham United player fared during the match against Tottenham.
GK: Lukasz Fabianski – 6.5/10
He made a few solid saves at the back but will be disappointed after conceding two goals in the second half.
CB: Thilo Kehrer – 7/10
The German talent did his fair share of defending inside his half and won a couple of aerial duels as well.
CB: Angelo Ogbonna – 5/10
Ogbonna looked shaky at the back and produced a lackluster display defensively, especially in the second half.
CB: Nayef Aguerd – 6.5/10
He cleared the danger when required and made one good run with the ball.
