The early stages of the match saw Tottenham take the lead in the 11th minute, courtesy of a well-executed set-piece. Argentine defender Cristian Romero rose above the defence to meet Pedro Porro's corner kick with a header, putting the home side ahead and raising hopes among the Spurs faithful.

However, the Hammers responded emphatically in the 52nd minute when Jarrod Bowen capitalised on a defensive lapse. Pouncing on a loose ball in the penalty box, Bowen showcased clinical finishing, slotting the ball into the net to draw West Ham level.

The turning point of the game occurred in the 74th minute when a costly mistake from Tottenham's Destiny Udogie proved decisive. A poorly executed back pass gifted possession to West Ham, allowing James Ward-Prowse to capitalise on the opportunity. The English midfielder struck the ball onto the post before calmly tapping in the rebound, securing a 2-1 lead for the visitors.
