Tottenham Hotspur delivered a convincing 3-0 victory over West Ham United, increasing the pressure on West Ham's manager, Graham Potter. The match, a London derby, saw Tottenham bounce back from their recent 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth. West Ham, on the other hand, struggled to maintain any confidence gained from their previous 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest.

Tottenham's goals came from Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall, and Micky van de Ven. The victory marked Tottenham's first game since the departure of chairman Daniel Levy. For West Ham, the defeat extends their winless run at home to seven matches, a concerning statistic for Potter. To add to their woes, Tomas Soucek was sent off during the game.

The game at the London Stadium saw many empty seats well before the final whistle, highlighting the growing discontent among West Ham fans. Even the booing of Mohammed Kudus, who joined Spurs from West Ham this summer, seemed to fade as the match wore on.

An early disallowed goal for West Ham, headed in by Cristian Romero from a Kudus corner, added to the home side's frustration. The referee spotted a push by Van de Ven on Kyle Walker-Peters in the box, leading to the VAR's intervention.

Tottenham's performance, in contrast, was impressive, marking a positive start under Thomas Frank. Xavi Simons, making his debut, provided an assist for Sarr's opening goal. Bergvall scored shortly after Soucek's red card, and Van de Ven added a third to seal the victory.

The result leaves Graham Potter under immense pressure, with West Ham's poor start to the Premier League season continuing. Having lost their opening two matches against Sunderland and Chelsea, with an aggregate score of 8-1, before a win against Nottingham Forest, West Ham's inconsistency is a major concern.
