Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo showed poor decision-making as he tried to get his side back into their clash with West Ham, one pundit has claimed.
Spurs’ recent slide back down in form continued following a 1-0 defeat to their London rivals on Sunday. In fact, that was the club’s second loss in as many games after a run of three wins in a row.
The first half ended goalless, but both sides had chances to score. For the visitors, Harry Kane had a header saved by West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.
In the second half, Michail Antonio netted the winner from a corner, with Kane involved again. Indeed, the England captain faced criticism for not getting tight enough to his fellow striker.
Tottenham boss Nuno brought Giovani Lo Celso and Bryan Gil on for Tanguy Ndombele and Sergio Reguilon after 84 minutes, 14 after Antonio’s opener.
