Tottenham Beat 10-Man West Ham 3-0, Join Arsenal Atop EPL

Tottenham Hotspur secured a commanding 3-0 victory over 10-man West Ham United at the London Stadium, moving up to second place in the Premier League table, level on points with Arsenal. The win marked Tottenham manager Thomas Frank's achievement as only the third Spurs manager to win his first two away top-flight matches. West Ham, managed by Graham Potter, suffered their third defeat in four league matches this season and remain winless at home since February, conceding eight goals in their first two home games this term. The match was decided after Tomas Soucek was sent off for West Ham following a lunging challenge, which shifted momentum decisively in Tottenham's favor, leading to quick goals by Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall, and Micky van de Ven. Potter acknowledged the team's first-half promise but admitted the red card and subsequent goals derailed their efforts, while fans expressed frustration with the team's poor home form. With West Ham languishing 18th in the table and facing the prospect of a relegation battle, pressure mounts on Potter's position, with speculation about potential replacements including Jose Mourinho and Frank Lampard.
