“With 60 touches, 40 passes, and an impressive 93% passing accuracy, along with one crucial assist for his teammates, the standout player showcased an exceptional 10/10 performance as Tottenham defeated West Ham.”
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma was instrumental in the team’s 4-1 win over West Ham United on Saturday, scoring the crucial second goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The match started poorly for Spurs when Mohammed Kudus netted an early goal for West Ham, surprising the home crowd. However, the hosts quickly responded with a goal from Dejan Kulusevski in the 36th minute and dominated the second half.
This victory marked Tottenham’s seventh win in 11 matches across all competitions, allowing them to bounce back from a recent defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion prior to the October international break.
Bissouma is set to play a vital role as the primary defensive midfielder during a busy fixture period ahead. Although he faced controversy at the season’s start, leading to a suspension for the opening Premier League match, manager Ange Postecoglou has shown trust in the Mali international, who has delivered strong performances since.
Against West Ham, Bissouma’s all-around display laid a solid foundation for him to maintain consistency as the season progresses. According to SofaScore, he recorded 60 touches, completed 40 passes with an impressive 93% accuracy, and provided one key pass. He also won seven of 12 ground duels and drew two fouls, showcasing his influence on the game.
Defensively, Bissouma made four clearances and five tackles, effectively disrupting West Ham’s attempts to build further attacks after their initial goal. He was substituted in the 81st minute for Rodrigo Bentancur, earning a well-deserved rest.
Bissouma currently earns £55,000 per week, with a contract running until the summer of 2026. His impact on the team is comparable to that of any world-class player, making him a crucial component of Postecoglou’s plans as Spurs navigate the upcoming fixture congestion.
