West Ham mounts a comeback
In a Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, West Ham staged an impressive comeback to secure a 2-1 victory.

This defeat extends Tottenham's winless streak to five matches, raising concerns about their performance in the league.

In the second half, West Ham seized the momentum and turned the match around, taking advantage of a mistake by Destiny Udogie to score the winning goal. Despite late pressure from Tottenham, West Ham held on to secure the three points.
Tottenham's disappointing form
