Denied the opportunity to gain revenge on West Ham for a couple of poor results last season, a Spurs XI hosted a side from our championship near-neighbours at Chadwell Heath yesterday and ran out comfortable winners by five goals to two.
With the need for a Europa League understudy squad, there are fewer loan deals at the Lane for some of our younger players, so it was a chance for many to get some much needed action.
Souleymane Coulibaly was missing from the line up, so it was left to Harry Kane to notch up a double strike and he was backed up by goals from Dean Parrett, Cristian Ceballos and Yago Falque.
It was Parrett who opened the scoring with a close range follow up from a Kane header and although the Hammers equalised soon after, Falque restored the lead on 25 minutes before Kane’s goals made it 4-1 at half time.
The avalanche was halted slightly in the second half, but Ceballos did add a fifth on 77 minutes before West Ham pulled one back just before the whistle.
“The first half was excellent,” said Tim Sherwood after the game. “The good thing is that the likes of Yago Falque, Tom Carroll, Andros Townsend, Harry Kane and Ryan Fredericks have all topped up on their match time.
“Dean Parrett played well and so did John Bostock, so there were plenty of positives for us.”
You sad fuck, it was our youth team and two trialists
Alway nice to see the hammers get hammered. They’ve well and truly become our bitches. Even when we play our youth players they stuff it up em, just history repeating itself I suppose. Good to see Kane getting in the goals again. Imo he looks one of, if not the best prospect we have. Good to hear Bostock had a good game, I fancy him to be a better player than livermore who has somehow broke into the side ahead of better players. just hope he learns his role quickly and that midfield isn’t about going one way and jogging isn’t putting in. That said good luck to him it’s hard for young players to get a break. So what was the score again 5-2. Nice, hows the song go..we’re forever beating west ham..thrashing em 5 to 2.. they can’t fly high they fade and die..and they’re so crap I wanna cry..it must be real embarrassing..losing to the spurs.. sad little west ham losers, are just a bunch of turds..horaaayyyy
Showing yourself up Spudguv. You guys profess to be too big to worry about ‘little’ old West Ham. Yet you waste 2 mins of everyone’s life by writing that inane drivel….. Poor deluded fool.
As Dagenham says, it was essentially a youth team Good on yer for this huge win!
Parrett over Carroll
Bostock over Livermore
