**London, May 4th 2025** – A crucial London derby between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur unfolded today, with both teams bringing significant baggage into the match. The BBC Sport website offered fans the chance to rate player performances, with voting closing 30 minutes after the final whistle. The final average scores will reflect the collective opinion of participating users.

West Ham, unbeaten in their last four home Premier League games against Spurs, looked to continue their recent dominance. However, Tottenham, seeking to complete a league double over their rivals for the first time since 2019-20, after their resounding 4-1 victory in the reverse fixture, faced a tough challenge.

The match itself was a tightly contested affair, marked by several near misses and key moments. Both teams had opportunities, with Yves Bissouma and Richarlison coming close for Tottenham, while Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus tested the Spurs defence for West Ham. The game saw several fouls and offside calls, highlighting the intensity of the rivalry.

Pre-match statistics painted a compelling picture of the teams’ recent struggles. West Ham have struggled to hold onto leads, dropping 12 points from winning positions since Graham Potter took over. Meanwhile, Tottenham have suffered a significant downturn, having lost 19 Premier League games this season – their joint-most ever in a single season. Their current four-game away losing streak is also their worst since 2019.

Despite the many attacking chances, neither side could find the net before the final whistle. The final result, however, is not yet available. The article also highlighted several impressive statistics, including Jarrod Bowen’s achievement of reaching 37 Premier League assists for West Ham and Tottenham’s record number of appearances given to players under 21 this season. The final score and player ratings, based on BBC user submissions, are expected shortly.
