English Premier League
Result: Tottenham Hotspur 3-3 West Ham United
Date: 18 October 2020
Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur conceded three goals in the final ten minutes as they drew 3-3 with West Ham United on Sunday evening.
Spurs made an unbelievable start to the game, taking the lead in the opening minute when Harry Kane played a stunning pass in behind the full-back for Son to run to and cut inside on his right foot before curling the ball past Lukasz Fabianski.
Kane doubled the lead in the eighth minute. Moments after establishing another attack as Steven Bergwijn's cross was just nodded clear, Kane found possession beyond your box, nutmegged Declan Rice, and thumped a minimal finish past a rooted Fabianski.
Kane had his brace eight minutes later as Spurs went 3-0 up in only 16 minutes. Sergio Reguilon crossed and Kane was there at the heart to direct a straightforward header back across Fabianski.
Pablo Fornals missed a sitter 5 minutes following the interval. Michail Antonio got down the left, cut inside past Toby Alderweireld, and shot hard and low, your time and effort picking up a deflection that carried the ball to the far post. Fornals was arriving there and may simply nod in from beneath the crossbar but instead headed over.
On the hour mark, Kane picked the ball up 40 yards from goal on the left, turned, and drove at goal. No West Ham player threatened to close him down, so he kept going and finally shot from 20 yards, drawing a good low stop from Fabianski.
Bale came on for Steven Bergwijn and immediately assumed free-kick responsibilities, but couldn't make an ideal introduction.
Kane hit the post in the 79th minute. Son pounced on a loose ball and had Bale through the center, but Kane was arriving late on the proper and ran onto a square pass, shooting first-time, left-footed. Fabianski didn't move, however, the ball bounced away off the post.
West Ham had their response in the 82nd minute. Fabian Balbuena was up highest to head Aaron Cresswell's left-wing free-kick and directed an excellent header into the bottom-right corner.
3 minutes later and with 5 minutes to go, West Ham were back in it. Vladimir Coufal got down the proper and drove in a cross that Davison Sanchez inadvertently directed past Hugo Lloris.
And remarkably Mario Lanzini would score what will surely be one of the contenders for the purpose of the season with the last kick of the match to complete the turnaround.
