Tottenham player ratings vs West Ham - Brennan Johnson scores but Spurs are blunt up front
Tottenham Hotspur came away with a point from a 1-1 draw at West Ham in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.
Ange Postecoglou had made three changes to the team that overcame Luton Town 2-1 on Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to bring in fresh legs with just two full recovery days in between the matches. David Moyes' Hammers let a 3-1 lead slip to lose 4-3 at Newcastle at the weekend.
Spurs have not won away at West Ham since November 2019 for Jose Mourinho's first game at the north London club and they came into the game knowing a victory would put the pressure on Aston Villa, who travel to Manchester City on Wednesday. Micky van de Ven came back into the team after being an unused substitute on Saturday, having recovered from his hamstring injury, and replaced Radu Dragusin.
Brennan Johnson also came back into his starting line-up after another impressive showing from the bench against Luton, replacing. Dejan Kulusevski. Rodrigo Bentancur also came in to give Pape Matar Sarr a rest.
It was Johnson who opened the scoring just four minutes in and it was a classic Postecoglou goal. Spurs broke up the pitch and Timo Werner fired a low ball across the six-yard box and the Wales international was in the right position to tap it home for Tottenham's first first-half goal in seven matches.
West Ham found a leveller not long after though when Kurt Zouma headed home a Jarrod Bowen corner.
Both sides huffed and puffed in the second half but neither could find a way through.
