Tottenham Hotspur locked horns with West Ham United at the London Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a victory on the road in the Premier League. Spurs made a dream start to the derby as they scored the opening goal in the fifth minute thanks to Brennan Johnson’s goal. However, the home team responded positively and equalised in the 19th minute when Kurt Zouma found the back of the net. Both teams went into the half-time break with a 1-1 scoreline.
Angelos Postecoglu’s men pushed on in search of the winning goal in the second half but had to settle for a 1-1 draw in the London derby.
