Tomas Soucek salvages draw for West Ham to slow Tottenham’s momentum
The margins are usually tight whenever these two clubs showdown and it was Antonio Conte who was grateful for a point in the end after Tomas Soucek’s second-half strike canceled out Thilo Kehrer’s own goal for a resurgent West Ham. It could have been even better had the new £50m signing Lucas Paquetá or Jarrod Bowen finished off chances in the dying minutes but this was much more like the kind of performance we have come to expect from West Ham under David Moyes. For Tottenham, there was relief that they are still unbeaten after five matches but Conte will know that they must improve after a display that showed they are far from the finished article just yet.
