West Ham 1-1 Tottenham: 4 talking points as drab London derby ends all-square
"The visitors took the lead through Wilson Odobert's 15th-minute goal, punishing a glaring error by Max Kilman, but Ange Postecoglou's rotated side weren't able to hold on against a West Ham team still looking to find their groove under Graham Potter. Bowen's equaliser from an acute angle was a tremendous finish, but it proved to be a rare bright spark on what was another fairly flat display in front of West Ham's supporters."
"A fairly drab 15 minutes then sparked into life not because of a brilliant piece of individual play, rather an unnecessary error from Kilman that sums up a lot of West Ham's season. Caught dallying on the ball by Mathys Tel, he could only look on in horror signalling to the referee for a potential handball that wasn't there upon further inspection as Odobert was presented with the ball on a plate."
"The advantage didn't last long for Ange Postecoglou's side though, as West Ham hit back before the half-hour mark to level proceedings. A counter down the right side allowed Aaron Wan-Bissaka to slip Bowen in behind, and he advanced on goal before firing between the legs of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from the tightest of angles. Despite over 60,000 being in attendance, the goals failed to bring the game to life as both sides lacked quality when it really mattered."
West Ham and Tottenham played out a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium, with Wilson Odobert giving Tottenham the lead in the 15th minute. Odobert's goal came after Max Kilman was caught on the ball by Mathys Tel and failed to prevent the chance, allowing Odobert to slot home. Jarrod Bowen equalised before half-time with a tight-angled finish after Aaron Wan-Bissaka's counter and a pass that put Bowen through. Both teams produced limited quality for large periods despite over 60,000 attendance. Tottenham fielded a rotated side with one eye on a Europa League semi-final. West Ham remain mid-table under Graham Potter.
