London derby
Following the fantastic atmosphere and the incredible evening at the London Stadium on Thursday night a ferocious London derby was exactly the type of game West Ham didn't need. The Hammers return to Premier League action was a fast one with the players straight back into training on Friday afternoon and the quick turnaround appeared to take its toll as they struggled against Tottenham's rapid counter-attacks.
After 120 minutes of high-intensity Europa League action it was no surprise West Ham struggled in the derby and the one outfield change David Moyes had made to freshen the team up backfired spectacularly. Leaving Pablo Fornals out was not the issue but the selection of Arthur Masuaku proved an awful one.
