West Ham's Moyes celebrates 'one of the biggest wins'
West Ham's leading goal scorer this season, across all competitions, is Jarrod Bowen. He has netted a total of nine goals so far.
David Moyes, the manager of West Ham United, expressed that his team's comeback against Tottenham was one of the greatest victories in his football career. West Ham United has been performing well consistently.
Tottenham Hotspur deservedly took the lead in the 11th minute thanks to a header from Cristian Romero. The defender scored from a corner taken by Pedro Porro, sending the ball looping into the net.
However, Jarrod Bowen responded for West Ham, seizing a loose ball inside the penalty area and shooting a goal to tie the score at the 52nd minute.
Following a misguided backward pass from Tottenham's defender Destiny Udogie, James Ward-Prowse aimed a gentle kick at the goalpost and then scored a rebound to successfully change the tide for West Ham in the 74th minute.
In my opinion, achieving a victory against this team on their home field is a significant accomplishment," Moyes expressed during his interview with BBC Radio 5 Live.
I am satisfied with how we persisted and worked hard in our tasks, arranged ourselves nicely, established a strong defensive setup and we constantly put pressure on our opponents too.
West Ham has been victorious in five of their last six games in all competitions, whereas Tottenham has experienced their fourth loss in five games and has been unable to hold on to their lead for the fifth time in a row.
Bowen: The Definition Of A Hardworking Player
West Ham is doing well recently, but during the beginning of the game against their London opponents, they hardly had any control. Tottenham was able to control the game with ease.
The offside decision meant that Ghanaian Mohammed Kudus' effort to score was disallowed. Likewise, a header by Lucas Paqueta went slightly off target just before halftime. Despite this, the visiting team managed to establish a presence in the game.
After enduring the pressure from Spurs, West Ham got lucky and managed to equalize the score. Kudus' shot ricocheted off both Romero and Ben Davies, ultimately landing near Bowen. Without hesitation, Bowen flicked the ball over Spurs' goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, who was charging towards him.
Bowen, who was once more placed in the forward position with the usual number nine Michail Antonio still healing from a hamstring injury, made Vicario hurry off his line to handle Udogie's terrible backpass after twenty minutes.
The Italian player kicked the ball directly to Ward-Prowse, who then scored the second goal for West Ham after hitting the post first.
"We faced a difficult challenge tonight and had to put in a lot of effort, but fortunately we were able to achieve a narrow victory," Moyes commented during an Amazon Prime interview.
The performance was massive due to the caliber of the opposing team. Our team has the ability to surprise some of the top teams and prove ourselves as a worthy contender.
West Ham were efficient when they had to be, with their top scorer Bowen exemplifying the hardworking attitude of his team.
This season, they managed to earn 10 points despite being in losing positions in the Premier League. This achievement places them third after Brighton, who recovered 11 points, and Liverpool, who recovered 15 points from similar positions.
The recent victory of the guests implies that they still retain their ninth position in the league. They are scheduled to confront Fulham in their upcoming league encounter on Sunday.
Spurs Lose Lead, Lose Points Once More

Spurs have not won any of their last five games, marking their longest period without a win since November 2019.
After securing an initial advantage, Ange Postecoglou's team appeared to be effortlessly progressing towards victory. They were close to scoring again just before the end of the first half when a threatening cross from Giovani Lo Celso was redirected onto the goal frame by Kurt Zouma, the reinstated captain of West Ham.
During the 70th minute, with the scores tied at one goal each, substitute player Richarlison had an opportunity to score and bring the team Spurs back in the lead. However, he missed his chance to head the ball into the goal from a close distance after a cross from Porro.
Tottenham has suffered a significant loss of 16 points in the Premier League this season as they were unable to maintain their lead in the matches, making them the team with the highest number of such defeats.
They remained in the fifth position on the table, trailing Manchester City by three points in fourth place. They are set to play against Newcastle, who is currently in the seventh position, on Sunday for their next match.
