Tottenham player ratings vs. West Ham: 6/10 for Romero, 3/10 for Spence as Spurs sink deeper

Cristian Romero equalized for Tottenham

Micky van de Ven (5/10): Made several important interceptions but couldn’t prevent West Ham’s dominance on the counter-attack. Van de Ven was isolated by poor organization around him as the visitors controlled dangerous moments.

Ben Davies (5/10): Played just 20 minutes before suffering a serious leg injury that forced him off. Davies looked solid enough defensively before the unfortunate injury, dealing adequately with Jarrod Bowen’s early threat. His forced departure disrupted Tottenham’s defensive organization at a crucial time.

Conor Gallagher (5/10): Made his Tottenham debut and showed flashes of his quality with intelligent movement and energy in midfield. Gallagher worked hard but couldn’t inspire a comeback as those around him struggled badly. Needs time to adapt to his new teammates.

Archie Gray (4/10): Received a yellow card for a dangerous challenge and was overrun in midfield. Gray struggled under West Ham’s press and his decision-making was poor in crucial moments as the visitors controlled the middle of the park.

Wilson Odobert (5/10): Showed flashes of pace and directness but was isolated for long periods. Odobert couldn’t unlock West Ham’s organized defense and was substituted late as Frank searched desperately for a winner.

Xavi Simons (5/10): Created several half-chances but his final ball lacked precision. Simons came close to scoring the winning goal late on but was denied brilliantly by Alphonse Areola. Faded as West Ham defended resolutely.

Mathys Tel (4/10): Another disappointing display from the young forward. Tel couldn’t impose himself on the game and offered little threat against West Ham’s center-backs before being substituted in the second half.

Randal Kolo Muani (5/10): Led the line with commitment but lacked adequate service throughout. Kolo Muani battled hard but clear chances never materialized as Tottenham struggled to create quality opportunities.

Substitutes

Djed Spence (3/10): Replaced the injured Ben Davies in the 20th minute and endured a nightmare afternoon. Spence struggled defensively down the left flank, looking completely uncomfortable in the position. His defensive positioning was poor throughout and he was exploited repeatedly by Jarrod Bowen, contributing to Tottenham’s defensive vulnerability.

Yves Bissouma (5/10): Replaced Gray at halftime as Frank attempted to regain control of midfield. Bissouma brought physicality and experience but couldn’t stem West Ham’s counter-attacking threat. His passing was tidy without being incisive, and he was unable to prevent Wilson’s late winner.

Dominic Solanke (5/10): Came on in the second half as Frank desperately searched for an equalizer. Solanke brought fresh energy and physicality.

Lucas Bergvall (N/A): Replaced Odobert towards the end of 90 minutes. Did not have an opportunity to affect the game.
