LONDON rivals Tottenham and West Ham went head-to-head in Perth, Australia – and it was the Conference League champions who came out on top.
Danny Ings gave the Hammers the lead after 15 minutes before Divin Mubama made it two.
But Giovanni Lo Celso and Destiny Udogie fought hard to put Spurs back on level terms
However, there was one more twist in the tale and that was courtesy of Gianluca Scamacca as he was on target late on to hand Spurs’ new boss Ange Postecogolu a defeat on his first game in charge.

It was disappointment for Spurs in their first pre-season game…Credit: Alamy How did the new boys get on? (2/2)
There were a number of new players on display for Spurs, here is how they got on…
- Vicario – 5/10 – Wasn’t great in goal, but did prevent Jarrod Bowen from making it 3-0 in the first half. Couldn’t have done too much about the goals, but still looked somewhat shaky.
- Manor Solomon – 6/10 – Similar to James Maddison, was not at his best but did cause a few problems for West Ham at the back. Came close to scoring a few times but for the brilliant Fabianski in goal.
How did the new boys get on? (1/2)
There were a number of new players on display for Spurs, here is how they got on…
- James Maddison – 6/10 – Pretty standard performance from Madders on his debut. Had some bright moments and came close with a header, but wasn’t at his brilliant best.
- Destiny Udogie – 8/10 – The full-back was really impressive on his Spurs debut. Coming from Udinese last season, most people didn’t know what to expect, but would have been pleasantly surprised when he popped up with an equaliser for Ange Postecoglu’s side.
Man of the match
There was a number of great performances out there today.
Ivan Perisic made a great impact when he came on in the second half, as did Destiny Udogie.
But the star man today for us was West Ham’s Freddie Potts.
The youngster had a lot of pressure on his shoulders, being dubbed as Declan Rice’s replacement, and put in a sensational performance in midfield.
He was industrious in midfield, composed on the ball and did exactly what was asked of him.
One to watch…
Full-time. Tottenham 2-3 West Ham
That’s full time in Perth, and the game ends 3-2 in favour of West Ham United!
What a game it was, with five goals between them and over 20 shots for Spurs, who still couldn’t outscore their London rivals.
We saw the first glimpses of a few new players for Spurs, some of whom impressed, and some who failed to shine straight away.
Full match reaction is coming to you next, stick with us!

90. There will be four minutes of added time here in Perth.
Four minutes to rescue Ange Postecoglu’s return to Australia.
Tottenham 2-3 West Ham
89. Chances for Spurs
They are pushing for an equaliser in this one, but you don’t want chances falling to the weak foot of Davinson Sanchez do you?
The Colombian gets his shot on target, but it is easily saved.
Tottenham 2-3 West Ham
87. A note on Freddie Potts
The young Brit has been absolutely sensational in midfield for West Ham, and if he is Declan Rice’s replacement then the Hammers might just be in fine hands.
Tottenham 2-3 West Ham
84. Perisic has been really, really dangerous since coming on at half-time.
He swings another cross into the box, but Fabianski is there again to read it and punch it away.
Tottenham 2-3 West Ham
80. Can Spurs get another equaliser?
Or will West Ham restore their two goal lead?
It looks like Spurs are going to throw the kitchen sink at this one now…

78. Gianluca Scamacca gives West Ham the lead!
Pablo Fornals plays a lovely ball through the middle to the Italian striker, who is baring down on goal and slots it into the bottom right corner.
Great finish.
Tottenham 2-2 West Ham
76. It is 23 shots for Spurs to just 3 for West Ham in this game.
A stat that really shows Tottenham’s dominance, but also their failure to capitalise on their chances so far.
They will need to be more clinical if they are going to find a winner here.
Tottenham 2-2 West Ham
74. Can Spurs go on and find a winner here?
They are really playing with confidence here, and Ivan Perisic has been crucial in creating chances for the Lilywhites.
This game has much more of a London derby feel to it now.
Tottenham 2-2 West Ham
70. Destiny Udogie equalises for Spurs!
They were known as second half FC last season, and it looks as though that may continue this year.
A corner is whipped in and the full back is on hand to flick the ball into the far corner.
Great header.
Tottenham 1-2 West Ham
68. They can’t hold out! Lo Celso scores for Spurs!
A cross from Perisic causes trouble in the West Ham penalty area, the ball is headed down, and Lo Celso storms in to hammer home a volley.
Finished with style from the Argentine.
Tottenham 0-2 West Ham
67. Great save from Fabianski AGAIN
It is Alfie Devine who is denied this time, as a cross from the left hand side goes all the way through to the young Englishman.
He lashes a shot at the near post, but Fabianski is there again.
Surely West Ham can’t hold out much longer…
Tottenham 0-2 West Ham
64. Non-stop pressure from Spurs here, surely it cannot be long until we see their first goal of pre-season.
Tottenham 0-2 West Ham
60. Yellow card for Emerson Royal
A late challenge from Emerson Royal on Emerson Palmeiri leads to the Brazilian getting the first booking of the game.
It caused a bit of commotion on the pitch too, with Angelo Ogbonna fuming at the Spurs defender.
Tottenham 0-2 West Ham
59. Richarlison hits the post!
That is the best chance of the game for Spurs so far, but Richarlison skims the outside of the post with a curling effort.
It was a great ball played through to him, and Tottenham will feel hard done by to not have opened their account yet.
Tottenham 0-2 West Ham
57. Mubama does brilliantly again for West Ham as he battles a few Spurs players in the midfield position.
That is the end of his cameo today, as he is replaced by Gianluca Scamacca.
Tottenham 0-2 West Ham
53. Richarlison looking bright
The Brazilian has looked impressive since coming on at half-time, following what was a lacklustre campaign by his standards last season.
This time he wins a free-kick as he is surrounded by West Ham players.
Tottenham 0-2 West Ham
51. Almost a sensational Spurs goal!
Spurs work the ball brilliantly on the left hand side with Sarr, and the ball eventually comes out to Emerson Royal on the edge of the box.
He side-foots the ball on the volley, but it sails over the bar.
Bright signs for Spurs.
Tottenham 0-2 West Ham
48. There was a full change of Starting XI for Spurs at half-time, and this is how their lineup looks now:
Harry Kane’s evening is now over as Spurs have changed their whole team at half-time.
The new team is Brandon Austin; Emerson Royal, Davinson Sanchez, Ben Davies, Destiny Udogie; Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Pape Matar Sarr, Gio Lo Celso; Alfie Devine, Richarlison, Ivan Perisic.
Tottenham 0-2 West Ham
46. Huge early chance!
And it comes for Spurs. Perisic plays Richarlison in, and the Brazilian crosses into the middle but no luck this time either.
Half-time. Tottenham 0-2 West Ham
Not quite how we expected the first-half to go, but it looks as though Spurs are experiencing those first game jitters as they find themselves 2-0 down to West Ham.
The opening goal was tucked away by Danny Ings, before Divin Mubama scored a header later in the half, which means the strikers in West Ham’s 4-4-2 shape have a goal each to their name.
Spurs will look to bounce back in the second half, they were causing some serious problems for West Ham at the end of the first, but couldn’t quite get the ball in the back of the net.
Something tells me Harry Kane may have something to say about that…
