Spurs suffered their fourth Premier League loss of the season to a London side as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side lost 1-0 to West Ham United.
Michail Antonio’s flick was all that separated the two sides at the London Stadium. With Spurs not registering a single shot in the second half, it was a game to forget for Tottenham.
Yet one player who gave a good account of themselves was Eric Dier. The defender lined up alongside Cristian Romero at the back, and the duo both performed admirably against West Ham for Spurs.
Despite not keeping a clean sheet, the England international won praise on social media from Tottenham supporters for his display against West Ham. The £72k-a-week centre-back has featured heavily under Nuno.
Indeed, after losing to Vitesse midweek in the UEFA Europa Conference League, the pressure will surely be mounting for the Portuguese manager after a poor start to the season.
This latest loss to West Ham sees Spurs sit sixth in the Premier League table with a goal difference of -5. With Manchester United coming up next, troubling times are coming for Spurs.
