In a closely contested London derby at the London Stadium, West Ham United (⚒️) and Tottenham Hotspur (🐓) ended in a 1-1 draw. The match, kicking off at 8:15pm BST, saw Brennan Johnson open the scoring for Tottenham with a goal, adding to his impressive form after two assists the previous weekend. However, West Ham equalized through a somewhat unconventional goal by Kurt Zouma, which came off his back following a corner from Jarrod Bowen. The match, described as scrappy, especially after a lively opening 20 minutes, saw both teams sharing the spoils. This result has implications for Tottenham's aspirations for a top-four finish, as it represents a missed opportunity to close the gap on the leading pack.
