Crazy scene! First, Maddison is violently run over by Lucas Paquetá in front of the penalty area, but doesn’t get a free kick. Instead, on the other side, Michail Antonio is suddenly up and running after a break free, leaving the last opponent behind and appearing in front of Vicario all alone. But then the striker loses his strength and just plays the ball back to the keeper. Incredible!
58.
22:32
The Spurs now have more access again and entered the game after a weak ten minutes.
56.
22:31
Tottenham is now slowly joining in a bit, but the home team has the next opportunity again. Bowen holds on to a long drive from Fabiański and serves Lucas Paquetá in front of the penalty area, who once again clearly misses.
53.
22:26
Yellow card for Michail Antonio (West Ham United)
Antonio reaches out to Bentancur in midfield and gets a warning.
50.
22:26
The next shot comes from Lucas Paquetá, who ultimately clearly misses the left gable from 20 meters. West Ham have clearly set the tone so far.
49.
22:25
A little later there is the next corner for the Hammers and things get very interesting again. Mavropanos heads Bowen’s cross from five meters onto the goal and almost scores, but Vicario just parries on and not behind the line. However, a possible goal would probably not have counted because Antonio was clearly offside when his colleague’s header was directly in front of the Spurs keeper.
48.
22:22
West Ham are initially more grippy after the restart and have their first good chance. Michail Antonio gets the ball 20 meters in front of the goal, shoots with his left and tests Guglielmo Vicario with his not too placed shot.
46.
22:19
The second phase continues without any personnel changes.

Kick-off of the 2nd half
45.+3
22:07
Half-time conclusion:
After 45 minutes the score in the London derby between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur is 1-1! Both teams had their good phases in the first half and were rewarded with a goal each. The guests got off to a better start and took the lead after just five minutes when Johnson coolly took advantage of a Werner template. Spurs then briefly made it 0-2, but West Ham scored. Zouma easily nodded in a Bowen corner against a disorganized Tottenham defense. As a result, both sides had their periods of pressure, but without achieving any high-quality results. So we can look forward to an exciting second round. See you soon!
45.+3
22:03
End of 1st half
45.+1
22:02
Now Tottenham is pushing again. Brennan Johnson picks up Pedro Porro in the box on the right, who goes through to the baseline and is then blocked on the cross. The following corner brings nothing.
45.
22:01
Official injury time (minutes): 2
44.
21:59
Yellow card for Micky van de Ven (Tottenham Hotspur)
Micky van de Ven initially stops Michail Antonio on the sideline and pushes the ball out of bounds, but then tries to prevent a quick execution with a handball. This is the first card of the game.
42.
21:57
The Hammers now have the upper hand again and are holding on to the front. The next corner kick comes from the other side and is taken by James Ward-Prowse. This time too, there is no conclusion.
40.
21:56
A little later, Bowen is allowed again and tests Guglielmo Vicario with his sharp cross, who only gets one hand on the ball but clears it decisively.
39.
21:55
Jarrod Bowen takes the next corner for the hosts on the right and once again brings the ball inside himself. There the Spurs are now much more resolute and clear things up without any problems.
36.
21:53
James Ward-Prowse declares a free kick 28 meters to the right of the goal to be a matter for the boss and doesn’t let left-footer Lucas Paquetá pass. The Hammers’ free-kick expert pulls the ball over the wall to the near corner, but Guglielmo Vicario sensed exactly that and grabbed it.
34.
21:50
Now the game takes its first short break. The hosts in particular keep the ball in their own ranks for longer and pick up the pace.
31.
21:46
The game is now completely open again and the draw has been fine so far. Johnson wants to return the favor to Werner for the goal assist and this time prepares himself from the right, but the German didn’t expect it in the middle. The ball rushes through into the touchline.
29.
21:45
Fabiański has some problems with a Bentancur cross because the slippery ball slips over his gloves when he punches it. However, no one would have waited behind it to recycle it anyway.
26.
21:42
West Ham are now much more present again and are putting unsettled Spurs under pressure in their own box. Bowen is about to pull the trigger from 17 meters when he is just disturbed by Udogie. This is how Guglielmo Vicario can secure the ball.
24.
21:41
Referee Brooks has allowed a lot of things to happen so far and has not penalized Yves Bissouma for a rude foul in midfield.
22.
21:39
The hit came a bit out of nowhere. On the other hand, corners are definitely a specialty of the Hammers, who are now much better in the game and disrupt the Spurs’ build-up.
19.
21:35
Tooor for West Ham United, 1-1 by Kurt Zouma
The corner leads to the equalizer! Bowen pulls the leather from the right with his left foot sharply into the five-yard box, where keeper Vicario should actually go, but is blocked by two teammates. So Kurt Zouma sneaks forward from the second post, climbs up three meters in front of the box unchallenged and heads in. That was easy!
19.
21:34
After winning the ball on the halfway line, West Ham once again became noticeable on the offensive and Bowen took a corner on the right side.
17.
21:33
Destiny Udogie joins in on the left and takes a free kick at penalty area level in a duel with Lucas Paquetá. James Maddison pulls the ball sharply to the five-pointer, but only finds an opponent’s head.
15.
21:30
Tottenham are now in control and are scoring chance after chance. West Ham repeatedly gives the ball away too quickly and too easily and almost only runs after it.
13.
21:29
This time Werner takes Maddison with him at the corner of the penalty area, who leaves an opponent standing and then serves Heung-min Son, who is 15 meters centrally in front of the goal. In his 400th Premier League game, the visitors’ captain flicked it to the right corner, but Łukasz Fabiański sensed that and easily plucked the ball down.
12.
21:28
The rain definitely plays a role here, as both sides try to get up to speed and score on the wet and slippery pitch. The Spurs currently seem a bit more determined.
9.
21:27
Then Tottenham again! Again it goes through the agile Werner, who causes the alarm on the left and this time passes it to the middle in front of the box. Pedro Porro then takes a powerful shot from the backcourt and sends the ball just past the goal to the left.
7.
21:25
The hosts look for a quick answer and immediately push hard. Two corners cause brief chaos in the guests’ penalty area, but ultimately do not lead to a goal.
5.
21:21
Tooor for Tottenham Hotspur, 0-1 by Brennan Johnson
On the other hand, the guests take the lead with the first chance! Bentancur drives the ball forward and then picks up Werner on the left of the penalty area. The ex-Leipziger uses his speed to get through to the baseline, then goes flat inside and finds Brennan Johnson, who easily nets the ball from close range at the first post.
3.
21:20
The Spurs are initially quite deep and want to lure the opponent. West Ham also responds to this and puts a lot of pressure up front. Mohammed Kudus conquers the leather on the left wing and, with a slight deflection, gives it flat to the inside. Jarrod Bowen runs in from the opposite side and, under pressure, pushes the ball past the goal from eight meters to the left.
1.
21:17
The ball is rolling! In the typical London rain, the home team plays in wine red as usual, Tottenham wears white.

Game start
21:13
Slowly but surely the tension is rising in the London Stadium! Referee John Brooks has already led the teams onto the pitch and in just a few minutes the capital city derby between West Ham and Tottenham can begin!
20:58
The Spurs had to digest an early shock against Luton Town at the weekend when they were 0-1 after just three minutes. In the final phase, Timo Werner served Heung-min Son’s winning goal in an exemplary manner. Ange Postecoglou hopes the win has given his team a further boost. “It’s another tough game, an away derby in London, and West Ham have done well this year. But I’m sure the boys’ win on Saturday gave them a lot of confidence. We’re looking forward to the game.” said the guests’ trainer before the eight-kilometer short trip to East London.
20:40
The Hammers came very close to an away coup at Newcastle United on Saturday, but were defeated 3-4 after leading 3-1. Coach David Moyes then struggled with a dubious penalty against his team, but quickly looked forward again. “That’s over now and the next game is just around the corner. We’ll be ready to give it our all again. It’s a London derby and we hope that the fans will support us and we can step on the gas straight away,” said Moyes, who expects a tricky match: “Tottenham is doing really well this season and it will be a tough game for us.”
20:28
Let’s take a look at the lineups: Łukasz Fabiański starts in goal for the home team today after regular goalkeeper Alphonse Aréola was injured in the last game and had to go out at halftime. Otherwise, David Moyes trusts the same eleven as at the weekend. There are currently three changes among the guests. Micky van de Ven, Brennan Johnson and Rodrigo Bentancur start in place of Radu Drăgușin, Pape Sarr and Dejan Kulusevski (all bench). Timo Werner remains in the starting line-up on the left wing
20:16
In seventh and fifth place, the two teams from London are, at first glance, close together in the table. However, the Hammers are already separated by a whopping twelve points from the Spurs, who are currently in the Europa League place and could even climb to a Champions League place if they are successful. West Ham has also struggled in the league recently and has been waiting for a win in three games, while Tottenham have won three of the last four Premiere League matches.
20:15
Hello and welcome to the Premier League on Tuesday evening! West Ham United will host Tottenham Hotspur in the capital derby on matchday 31. It starts at 9:15 p.m. at the London Stadium!
