Wan-Bissaka shines as 4/10 teammate flops – West Ham player ratings v Tottenham
West Ham were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Tottenham on Sunday afternoon.
Graham Potter is already under a great amount of pressure at West Ham, and their 1-1 draw at home to fellow strugglers Tottenham will do little to ease those concerns.
Wilson Odobert gave the visitors the lead inside the opening 15 minutes after an error from Max Kilman at the London Stadium, and the groans among the home support were audible, and rightfully so.
However, the Irons were able to get back into the game before halftime through the ever-reliable Jarrod Bowen, with his neat finish going through the legs of Guglielmo Vicario.
The second half was a rather drab viewing, with both sides having to settle for a share of the points in a 1-1 draw.

West Ham would be lost without Bowen
In what has been a dreadful campaign, there have been a few players to emerge with credit, and Bowen is certainly at the top of that list.
Quite literally, West Ham could be staring down the barrel of a Championship season next time out had it not been for his contributions throughout the campaign.
However, that overeliance is dangerous, and West Ham need to address that as a matter of urgency in the summer transfer window if progression is to be achieved.
The Irons need to recruit very, very well over the next few months, while making a decision in regard to Potter and his credentials to take the Hammers forward, having done very little of that in his few months at the London Stadium.
