Sarr, Bergvall, Van de Ven score

West Ham United

Spurs crush West Ham at the London Stadium as Sarr Bergvall and van de Ven strike

Tottenham ripped through West Ham at the London Stadium to claim the points.

Pape Matar Sarr opened the scoring in the first half.

Lucas Bergvall doubled the lead before halftime.

Micky van de Ven put Spurs three up after the break.

West Ham United offered little in response.

The press was relentless, and West Ham’s high line failed without a barge behind it.

For West Ham the boardroom talk misses the soul in the stands.

The badge still breathes when the crowd hammers the ball forward.

Mohammed Kudus returned to the London Stadium to face his former club.

The reception was loud even though his side won easily.

Millwall would envy this pace, but the East End deserves a team that fights.

However the season is long and this is merely a setback.

Yet the fight remains in the stands and on the field.

Fans trust the badge more than the board and that matters.
