Sadly, it did not remain that way for long and by the midway point of the second half Tottenham were out of sight and West Ham were down to ten men.<\/p>\n
After Bowen had shot wide, an unmarked Sarr powered in Xavi Simons\u2019 corner at the far post less than two minutes in.<\/p>\n
West Ham briefly rallied, with Vicario saving from Bowen and catching Diouf\u2019s header, and Kilman heading over, but the game was soon over.<\/p>\n
On 55 minutes, Sou\u010dek\u2019s chest control let him down and, in his eagerness to recover, he slid and caught Palhinha high on the shin. Gillett immediately showed the Czech a red card on his 250th appearance for the Club.<\/p>\n
Within 90 seconds, Romero picked out Lucas Bergvall and the Swede sent a header looping over Hermansen and into the net.<\/p>\n
Then, minutes after Potter had sent on Soungoutou Magassa for his debut, teenager Bergvall squared and van de Ven swept home a third.<\/p>\n
The remainder of the game was, predictably, played in the home half as the ten men in Claret and Blue sought to keep the score down, and Hermansen and substitute Andy Irving did their bit in added-time, both denying Kudus a goal on his return.<\/p>\n
