The turning point came in the 25th minute when Tottenham’s Younes Kaboul was sent off, leaving the team with ten men on the field. Just two minutes later, Harry Kane capitalized on the numerical advantage for West Ham by scoring the opening goal for his side in the 27th minute.
Before the half-time whistle, Stewart Downing extended West Ham’s lead by doubling the scoreline. Despite Tottenham’s efforts in the second half, including some exceptional saves from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, they were unable to find the back of the net.
The defeat means that Tim Sherwood’s side remains in sixth place in the Premier League standings with 66 points. However, their chances of qualifying for the Europa League next season have been diminished as a result of this loss.
Overall, it was a frustrating afternoon for Tottenham and Adebayor, who were unable to overcome the obstacles posed by West Ham and secure a positive result.
