Chelsea continued their perfect start to the new Women's Super League season on Sunday with an eventful 5-2 win over London rivals Tottenham. It wasn't a game without obstacle for the Blues, who were without Lauren James due to injury and were also left dismayed by Spurs' first half equaliser, which Hannah Hampton was convinced she had kept out. But the champions of England persevered and emerged with all three points ahead of the international break.

The incident that will be talked about most from this game came midway through the first half, after Maika Hamano had already given Chelsea the lead. Spurs full-back Amanda Nilden spotted Hampton drifting to her left for the anticipated cross and went for goal, and the assistant flagged to signal that her effort had crossed the line despite the goalkeeper's best efforts. It was to the dismay of Hampton, who was booked for her protestations, and suddenly the visitors were back in the game.

Even when Nilden got on the scoresheet at the other end, inadvertently flicking Guro Reiten's corner into her own net, things were tight and competitive - until a late flurry from the champions. Rytting Kaneryd's volley in the 70th minute will be a goal of the season contender, summer signing Sandy Baltimore was there to convert when Reiten's penalty hit the post a few minutes later and then - after Eveliina Summanen pulled another back for Spurs with a great free-kick - Rytting Kaneryd put the gloss on it all, adding a late fifth with an emphatic finish.

It's a result that sends the Blues into the break on a high, with four wins from their first four WSL games as they pursue a sixth successive league title and a first under new head coach Sonia Bompastor.

Tottenham scored a controversial equaliser against Chelsea as goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was adamant Amanda Nilden's effort didn't cross the line.

Former referee Mike Dean claims Mohammed Kudus could be set for a lengthy ban after being sent off during West Ham's 4-1 loss to Tottenham.

Tottenham have won six of their last seven games in all competitions after thrashing London rivals West Ham 4-1 in the Premier League.

Mohammed Kudus proved the pantomime villain of the day as he got the home fans on his back early on with a well-taken opening goal, bringing out his signature seated celebration in front of Spurs' behemoth single-tier stand.

Despite that fast start, the Hammers quickly crumbled and found themselves three goals down by the 60-minute mark. Dejan Kulusevski brought Tottenham level just before the break before three quick-fire goals on the other side of half-time completely flipped the script.

Yves Bissouma put the north Londoners ahead, while an own goal off the foot of Jean-Clair Todibo and a lovely finish from returning captain Son Heung-min rounded off the scoring.

Kudus' afternoon of infamy came to a premature end after he was sent off for violent conduct, with VAR decreeing he lashed out unlawfully at Pape Sarr and Micky van de Ven.

Premier League football returns to action following the international break as Tottenham host West Ham on Saturday afternoon.

Ange Postecoglou's side experienced a crushing 3-2 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion just before the international break, squandering a two-goal lead at halftime to ultimately fall to the Seagulls.

As a result, Spurs have slipped to ninth place in the Premier League table, with a busy schedule ahead that includes matches across three different competitions.

Julen Lopetegui's West Ham United are looking to show they can build on their commanding 4-1 victory over Ipswich Town at the London Stadium. Lopetegui has faced his share of criticism since taking the helm, despite West Ham's record being fairly comparable to that of their fellow London clubs.

Currently sitting in 12th place with eight points from their first seven games, the Hammers' points total is the lowest they've recorded at this stage in the last five seasons.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Team news & squads

Tottenham team news

Spurs fans eagerly await news on whether skipper Son Heung-min will be able to recover from a thigh strain in time for the clash with West Ham. Initially called up for South Korea's World Cup 2026 qualifiers, Son withdrew due to the injury, leaving his status uncertain.

The South Korean star joins Richarlison and Lucas Bergvall as potential exclusions for the London derby, though Bergvall, who picked up a minor calf strain while with Sweden, was not expected to start on Saturday anyway. Meanwhile, Wilson Odobert remains sidelined with a hamstring issue.

Despite a disappointing second half at the Amex two weeks back, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou will likely field a largely unchanged lineup. However, Timo Werner is expected to step aside if Son is cleared by the medical team.

Tottenham Hotspur possible XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son

West Ham team news

West Ham's only injury concern is in the attacking department, as summer acquisition Niclas Fullkrug continues to deal with an Achilles issue. He missed the international window with Germany and is questionable for the upcoming match.

Nevertheless, manager Julen Lopetegui is unlikely to change a winning strategy, especially with Michail Antonio looking to strike fear into Tottenham once again.

The Jamaica international has found the back of the net six times against Spurs, marking his best tally against any single opponent. Antonio's early goal against Ipswich was set up by Jarrod Bowen, who will carry the Hammers' offensive spark cutting in from the right before firing off shots at the opponent's goal.

West Ham United possible XI: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Rodriguez, Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus; Antonio

The pendulum of tactical trends has swung violently back in favour of the imposing, superhuman centre-back, and it's a direction that serves well for 17-year-old Luka Vuskovic.

Already capped by Croatia at Under-21 level, the defender is rapidly rising up the European football ladder. Next up on his journey is north London with Tottenham Hotspur, who reached an agreement last year to sign Vuskovic after he turns 18 in 2025.

Powerful and precise, macho and massive, Vuskovic is making waves on the continent that are becoming impossible to ignore. By the time he sets foot through the doors at Spurs, fans should be well aware of his game and what he can help them achieve.

So who is this menace in both boxes that Tottenham have bought from the Balkans? GOAL takes a deep dive into the world of Vuskovic...
