Kudus finds Bowen with a brilliant cross. The scorer of the West Ham goal nearly has his second there, as his volley just curves the wrong way. Still a good effort from the Englishman.

The ball gets into the West Ham box, ultimately falling to Richarlison. The forward is off balance, which partially explains why his attempt flies well over the bar. Todibo also gets in his way, which played a part as well.

Tel sneaks in behind the Todibo and has a shot. It goes straight at Areola though. Certainly a half-chance for Spurs there.

It is half-time at London Stadium, with West Ham and Tottenham all nodded up at one each. It has been a largely even first half, with each side having three shots, one of which were on target. Odobert put Spurs in front early on, before Bowen tied things up shortly around the half hour mark. The xG reads 0.43 to 0.37 in the Hammers' favour. That goes to show that the quality of chances have been rather low.
