PIERRE-EMILE HOJBJERG did not cover himself in glory during Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat to West Ham.
Hojbjerg played 67 minutes of Thursday night’s clash before he was hooked by Ange Postecoglou.
That move came as part of the Spurs manager’s gambit to wrestle back control of the game late on.
But it was with just four minutes on the clock that Hojbjerg had a moment to forget.
During a Tottenham attack on the left flank, Brennan Johnson received the ball.
He then spotted and played a pass towards Hojbjerg who was making a run into the penalty area.
