West Ham United F.C.

Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, presented by Heineken...

West Ham United's hopes of causing an EFL Cup fifth-round shock by beating Tottenham Hotspur on this day in 2013 looked to be over when Emmanuel Adebayor fired the home side in front in the second half.

However, Matt Jarvis slammed in an equaliser before Modibo Maïga headed in a dramatic winner to leave the Claret and Blue Army singing in the north London rain!

It was a night to remember for the east Londoners as we delivered a stunning early Christmas present.

West Ham United women’s team will travel to Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-finals of the Subway Women’s League Cup.

The Hammers booked their spot in the final eight via scintillating victories over Portsmouth, London City Lionesses and Southampton, which helped them comfortably top the Group C standings.

They will travel to the winners of Group E, who also progressed with a 100 per cent record by seeing off Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Charlton Athletic.

The quarter-final tie will take place on either 22 or 23 January, and a date, kick-off time and ticketing information will be confirmed in due course.

Should Rehanne Skinner’s side be victorious over her former club, West Ham will then visit the winners of Chelsea versus Durham in the semi-finals of the newly-named competition, which are set to take place over 5 and 6 February.

Anton Ferdinand headed an injury time equaliser to salvage a deserved draw for West Ham United at Tottenham Hotspur 19 years ago today.

The defender connected with a Paul Konchesky corner three minutes into stoppage time to beat Paul Robinson and cancel out Mido's first half opener.

The Egyptian striker, who later had a spell with the Hammers, scored with a header himself, but Alan Pardew's men deserved the positive result they eventually gained.

Mark Noble was making his first top flight start for the Club and after Mido had sent his looping header over Shaka Hislop to give Spurs the lead, the Hammers youngster had a goal ruled out for offside.

Teddy Sheringham also went close in the second half, but West Ham eventually found a way through thanks to Ferdinand.

West Ham United women's team were beaten in the closing minutes of their Barclays Women's Super League fixture with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.

The Irons went down 2-1 at Gaughan Group Stadium in east London, as a late own-goal from Camila Sáez meant that the left empty handed after a largely positive performance.

Riko Ueki had nodded the Irons in front just before half-time, but Beth England levelled after the break, before Sáez inadvertently found the back of her own net in second half injury time.

Opposition...

Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to end a run of three straight defeats in the Barclays Women’s Super League when they host West Ham United on Sunday.

After a positive 4-0 victory over WSL newbies Crystal Palace on the opening day, Robert Vilahamn’s team are winless in their last four matches, losing out to Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea before the international break.

Vilahamn arrived at Spurs last summer and guided the Lilywhites to a sixth-placed finish in his first season in charge. The Swede also took Spurs to their first ever Adobe Women’s FA Cup final, where his side were heavily beaten by Manchester United at Wembley.

In the off-season, Spurs recruited a number of experienced international stars in the form of Matildas duo Hayley Raso and Clare Hunt, Hungary international Anna Csiki and Spain international Maite Oroz. They also retained the services of defender Amanda Nildén, who made her loan move from Juventus permanent. Ten senior players departed, including Shelina Zadorsky, who joined West Ham permanently this summer.

West Ham United U18s 4-2 Tottenham Hotspur U18s

U18 Premier League South, Little Heath Training Ground, Saturday 19 October 2024, 11am BST

West Ham United U18s picked up their first league win of the campaign with a commanding 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Little Heath.

Although the visitors raced into an early lead, the young Hammers responded with four goals of their own before the interval. Airidas Golambeckis, Elisha Sowunmi and Andre Dike were all on the scoresheet to ensure the Hammers went into half-time with a healthy lead.

Despite going down to ten men late in the second half after Emeka Adiele received a second yellow card, West Ham saw out the game relatively untroubled to claim all three points on derby day.

Tottenham started the brighter of the two sides, enjoying the lion’s share of possession early on as they probed for openings in the West Ham defence. Momentum soon swung in West Ham’s favour, with Dike and Chinaza Nwosu at the heart of some fluid attacking play.

However, it was Spurs who broke the deadlock in the eleventh minute. A quick goal kick caught West Ham off guard, and Luca Williams-Barnett unleashed an audacious strike from the halfway line that sailed over the goalkeeper and into the net to give the visitors the lead.

West Ham’s response was swift and emphatic. Just four minutes later, Adiele whipped in a sublime cross from the left which was headed home by Golambeckis, netting his fourth goal of the season to level the score at 1-1.

The young Hammers continued to cause problems for the Spurs defence, and Dike, after beating three defenders, nearly set up Josh Ajala for a second, who was unable to convert.

Spurs were increasingly forced into a more direct style of play as West Ham’s quick counters proved increasingly dangerous. West Ham’s pressure paid off again in the 30th minute. Dike, who had been a constant threat, leapt high to meet another Adiele cross and powerfully headed home to make it 2-1.

Ajala came close again shortly after but was denied by another fine save from Samual Archer, before the Hammers extended their lead in the 38th minute through an exquisite left-footed effort from Sowunmi.

The goals kept coming as the Hammers added a fourth just two minutes later. Dike netted his second of the day, capping off a sensational first half performance for the forward, who earned his second call-up to the Young Lions’ U17s squad in as many months in October. The England age-group international nearly completed his hat-trick moments later, but his one-on-one effort, set up by West Ham goalkeeper Finley Hooper, was bravely blocked by Archer.

Tomáš Souček says West Ham United have a week of hard work ahead of them – physically, mentally and tactically – to bounce back from Saturday’s 4-1 Premier League defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.

The Czech Republic international admitted to being ‘angry and frustrated’ after the Hammers took the lead before conceding an equaliser and ultimately being blown away by a three-goal salvo within eight second-half minutes leading up to the hour-mark.

Eight games into the top-flight season, the Irons have won just twice, kept only one clean sheet, lost four times and let in 15 goals – all statistics Souček and his teammates will not be happy with or proud of.

While it is still early in Head Coach Julen Lopetegui’s reign following the Spaniard’s summer appointment, the No28 knows the east Londoners need to improve their performances and output sooner rather than later if they are to enjoy another successful Premier League campaign.

The next opportunity to do that comes on Sunday 27 October, when Manchester United visit London Stadium, and Souček says Rush Green training ground will be a place of work and focus ahead of that game.

“It’s very frustrating, and we’re all angry,” he explained. “We said [in the dressing room] that this cannot happen because it’s a derby for us, for the fans, and it’s a massive game. We lost the game with a big difference in the scoreline, so we’re very sad. We also said this is only one result, and we have the whole week to overcome this setback and make sure we’re ready for the game against Manchester United next week.

“They made a substitution [at half-time, bringing on Pape Sarr for James Maddison], but we still wanted to play in the same way, and we knew that we created a few chances before half time and were also winning one-nil at one point. We went in with a draw at half time, but in the second half we were not good enough for an eight-minute spell and conceded three goals in that space of time. That killed the game. We spoke about mentality after the game and if we concede a goal that we can’t concede again like we did today.”

After thumping Ipswich Town 4-1 before the international break Souček and his teammates would have hoped to build on that performance in north London, especially after Kudus fired them in front.

Instead, they will need to rebuild confidence again after being roundly beaten by their near-neighbours, and particularly after conceding three goals so quickly, instead of showing resilience after falling behind.

He continued: “When we were losing 2-1, we wanted to get points from this game, but they were attacking us a lot and scored two more goals, which was very frustrating. We couldn’t manage it well, and, in the end, it was 4-1 because of the second half performance. We didn’t deserve any points today.

“The last game was perfect as we won 4-1 [against Ipswich Town], but we’ve come back from international duty and got smashed, so we have to keep balanced and make up for it at home. We have to replicate how we played in the last game [against Ipswich] and forget today. We have to be ready because this was a very bad day.”

History

West Ham United’s unbeaten away run in the Premier League is over after a 4-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

The Hammers started brightly and were ahead when Mohammed Kudus left Guglielmo Vicario with no chance on 18 minutes.

Julen Lopetegui's men, showing no fear, had chances to extend their lead before Dejan Kulusevski's thumping left foot drive nine minutes before the break had the sides on level terms at half-time.
