LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur came from behind to thrash West Ham United 4-1, with captain Son Heung-min returning from injury to wrap up the victory before the visitors had Mohammed Kudus sent off late on in an entertaining Premier League derby on Saturday (Oct 19).West Ham went ahead through Kudus after 18 minutes but Spurs equalised in the 36th on the counter when Dejan Kulusevski's shot was tipped on to the woodwork by Alphonse Areola only for the ball to roll along the line and in off the far post.The hosts continued to dominate after the break and scored again when Yves Bissouma side-footed home before Son's shot rebounded off Areola and a defender for an own goal by the keeper.

Son then got on the scoresheet with a fine solo effort.West Ham went down to 10 men in the 86th when Kudus was sent off for violent conduct after a VAR review.

The win took Spurs up to provisional sixth place in the standings with 13 points from eight games, while West Ham are 14th with eight points."I thought we were good today," said Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou. "We had to work hard in the first half but we got back into the game after conceding."After that it was outstanding from the lads, good energy, some good goals although I thought we could have got a few more.

Good day at the office."Tottenham came into the match still smarting from throwing away a two-goal lead at Brighton & Hove Albion to lose 3-2 before the international break, much to the disgust of Australian Postecoglou who was determined it would not happen again.However, this time they found themselves behind, against the run of play, as Kudus's shot into the ground bounced up and over Spurs defender Pedro Porro on the line after a cut back from Jarrod Bowen who burst
