West Ham United v Spurs Youth Match Reports

A fifth minute goal by George Earthy had given West Ham the lead, converting at the second attempt when Hayton tipped his first effort onto the post.  An error by Hayton in the 11th minute gave West Ham an easy second, giving the ball away and Callum Marshall made the most of the opportunity.

A response was needed and Jez Davies’ shot brought a good stop from Knightbridge and a defender cleared Jamie Donley’s cross a the far post as Riley Owen closed in.  Owen’s ball into Billy Heaps saw him brought down by Casey and Donley converted form the spot to reduce the deficit three minutes before half-time. although the keeper got a god hand to the shot.  Spurs could have turned around level but Owen missed after Jordan Hackett set him up just before the whistle for the interval.   

Tottenham had been on top after going 0-2 down and the equaliser did arrive in the 62nd minute.  Jaden Williams sent Donley wide on the left, from where he produced a far post cross for Heaps to head in.  Spurs were awarded another penalty when Bryan Brandon-Waugh cut into the box from the right and was fouled, handing Donley the opportunity for his second, but Knightbridge saved the shot to his right.  He put that right with 14 minutes left, as Brandon-Waugh put the ball into the box, it pin-balled around and Jamie buried the ball from a tight angle on the left into the top right corner.

On 81 minutes, Jaden Williams made it 4-2 to Spurs, picking off Knightbridge’s poor kick out and ran it back into the box to slide it wide of the keeper at his near post.  West Ham put up a little resistance when substitute Mubama scored from the penalty spot four minutes from full-time after Donley was adjudged to have handled, but the last word was Maxwell McKnight’s, racing in to fire Donley’s left wing cross into the net at the far post.

It was a comprehensive win for Tottenham, who dominated possession, had more shots on goal and more touches and passes to show a strong mental resilience after going behind in the match.

Although Mubama went close for the visitors with an early header it was Tottenham who took a 14th minute lead when Max McKnight’s long forward pass came over the shoulder of Jamie Donley, who then chipped West Ham Keeper Jacob Knightbridge.  Ten minutes later, Jaden Williams doubled the lead when Irons centre-back Kaelen Casey lost his bearings under a through ball from Donley and Williams took the ball on before slotting home low into the net to make it 2-0.

Williams was denied by the keeper when he turned on a ball inside the six yard box, with Renaldo Torraj smacking a shot against the underside of the bar from the left corner of the box as the game entered added time.

Some sort of response was expected from West Ham in the second half, but their lack of composure lead to a number of cautions for both sides, as their aggressive approach had to be matched by Spurs.  The Irons were searching for a way back into the game, but apart from a smart save from a close range shot by Kodua five minutes in, there was little to trouble the Spurs keeper.  The game got further away from the East Londoners four minutes later when a fine corner by Dante Cassanova was met by a powerful header from Rio Kyerematen that the keeper couldn’t stop that put Spurs into an unassailable 3-0 lead.

Will Andiyapan had to make a well-time challenge on Kodua to prevent him going through on goal and he also forced Lo-Tutala into a fine save on 78 minutes after the overly-eager Falase fouled sub George Abbott to see red for a second booking.  In the final action of the game, Alfie Dorrington headed just over from Cassanova’s free-kick.

Even though Tottenham had control of the first half, they did not convert the opportunities they created and that left West Ham to score the opening goal ten minutes after the interval.  Spurs became disjointed after the goal and looked a shadow of the side they were in the first half, so it was no surprise when the Irons doubled their lead.

Some good opportunities were spurned before Mark Gower took a corner that Glenn Southgate glanced on at the near post for James Evans to knock the ball home.  Spurs controlled the remainder of the first half, but into the second period, The Irons started to hit long balls forward and managed to pull level with a goal that looked as though it may have been offside.  The goal unsettled Spurs, with West Ham capitalising with two quick goals to take the points 3-1.

With good control of the play and creating a lot of chances, the final score-line hardly reflected the balance of play.  David Tuttle put Tottenham into the lead with a 20th minute header to Matthew Edwards’ cross.  The second goal was scored by Andy Theodosiou in the 65th, who controlled a short corner on his chest before drilling the ball home.

Having given Tottenham a fourth minute lead, when he got on the end of a corner to score from close range, the game had to be stopped for a while when McDonald suffered a broken cheekbone just before the interval.  While Spurs controlled the majority of the match, it was only in the last minute of the game that Matthew Edwards freed David Tuttle in a wide position and his cross was flicked on at the near post allowing Neil Smith to come in to get the ball across the line.

The West Ham keeper kept Spurs at bay with good stops from efforts by Vinny Samways and Jason Cook before saving a 48th minute Phil Gray penalty.  The Irons had a few chances and it was Spurs who enjoyed the majority of attacking intent, as Mark Parsons, Mario Alexandrou and Gray all went close.

The home side took the lead with a goal midway through the first period when the ball should have been cleared, but Tottenham responded quickly with an equaliser from Tom Lawrence, who ran through the heart of the Irons’ defence to fire a shot home.  Another defensive lapse let West Ham in for their second goal just before half-time and the same happened halfway through the second half to seal the points for the Irons.

Roger Cross gave the visitors an early lead in the third minute, when Simmons headed on a corner taken by Dennis Walker.  There was some debate about Tottenham’s leveller, as goalkeeper Steve Death got his fingertips to Jimmy Pearce’s header, touching it onto the bar, but fell on the ball when it came down, only for the referee to adjudge that it had crossed the line to make it 1-1.
