West Ham started the game brightly, taking the lead and causing some unrest from the home fans in the stadium.
If anything it looked like Julen Lopetegui’s side were in the driving seat, that was until Dejan Kulusevski bagged on the 36 minute mark and the game began to flip.
Spurs got some momentum from the Swede’s equaliser and began to look on top.
But fortunately for West Ham, they made it to the break with the scores level at 1-1.
Ange Postecoglou made the bold decision at the break to hook James Maddison after the midfielder had a relatively quiet first 45 by his standards.
As controversial as that decision would normally be, it certainly worked this time.
Within just 15 minutes of the restart Spurs had scored three times through an Alphonse Areola own goal and finished from Son Heung-Min and Yves Bissouma.
From there on it became more reminiscent of a pre-season training match than a Premier League London derby.

Spurs were able to take their foot off the gas and still cruise to three points.
That was until some more fuel was thrown on the fire as a frustrated Mohamed Kudus clashed with Mickey Van de Ven and got himself sent off after a lengthy VAR review.
