Despite defender Cristian “Cuti” Romero’s early goal, Tottenham lost 2-1 at home to West Ham at the end of matchday 15 of the Premier League. With this adverse result, the Spurs moved away from the title fight. After three suspensions, Romero returned to the starting line-up and showed his hierarchy right away. At 10 minutes of the first half, the team led by Angelos Postecoglou had a corner in favor, the Argentine defender rose to head and put the ball at the far post of the goal defended by Lukasz Fabianski.It should be noted that it was his third goal of the season in 12 games and the fourth with this shirt in 76 games played. Despite having closed the first half with that advantage, Tottenham suffered a goal six minutes into stoppage time for an unfortunate play. After a series of rebounds in the box, Jarrod Bowen controlled the ball and finished with power to make it 1-1. With 17 minutes left in the game, Spurs were unlucky again. An erratic back pass from Destiny Udogie to goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario led to James Ward-Prowse’s goal. For Tottenham, Giovani Lo Celso started for the hosts and came off in the 66th minute for Oliver Skipp, while Alejo Veliz came on in the 87th minute in place of Son Heung-Min. With the defeat, the London team remains in fifth place with 27 points, the same amount as Manchester United, is in the Europa League zone and is nine points behind the leader, Arsenal.
