In Thursday’s match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, West Ham United staged a comeback to defeat Tottenham Hotspur, with Jarrod Bowen scoring his 50th goal for West Ham and James Ward-Prowse contributing a decisive low finish.
The turning point came after Cristian Romero’s looping header gave Spurs the lead. Bowen’s goal, his seventh in as many Premier League away matches this season, leveled the score early in the second half.
The comeback was completed when Ward-Prowse converted the winner after his initial shot rebounded off the post.
This victory extended West Ham United’s recent run to just one defeat in eight games in all competitions, bringing them to 24 points from 15 games and placing them only three points behind Spurs in fifth place.
