West Ham 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur: Honors even in sleepy London derby

West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur traded first-half goals and settled for a stodgy 1-1 draw on Sunday that will leave neither particularly thrilled or disappointed — at least it wasn’t another loss.

WATCH — West Ham vs Tottenham Hotspur full match replay

Spurs went ahead in the 15th minute after Max Kilman got himself into all kinds of trouble and lost the ball to Mathys Tel deep in his own half. Tel quickly played it across the penalty area and found Wilson Odobert, who settled and fired past Alphonse Areola for his first Premier League goal with the club. It was 1-0 until the 28th minute, as Jarrod Bowen raced in behind Spurs’ defense and shot between Guglielmo Vicario’s legs from near the end line to reach double-digit PL goals for the third time in four seasons.

With the draw, Spurs (38 points) remain 16th in the PL table, still a point and a place above West Ham (37 points). Suffice to say, the (league) season can’t end soon enough for either side. Spurs, of course, still cling to the hope of winning the Europa League. They lead Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt 3-1 after their semifinal home leg on Thursday.

Graham Potters’ Irons are winless in seven-straight Premier League contests, only scooping draws against Everton, Bournemouth, and Southampton while dipping into 17th on the table.

Vibes are a bit better for Spurs, who have risen from their Premier League doldrums to move within 90 minutes of the Europa League final after beating Bodo/Glimt 3-1 on Thursday in the first leg of their semifinal tie. But Spurs have sunk to 16th on the Premier League table and have not had many games like their 4-1 triumph over West Ham in November. Can they complete a sweep?
