The Hammers seemed down and out at half-time but led by Ayew, they fought back to secure the famous victory at Wembley.
West Ham conceded after just five minutes as a high defensive line was exploited by Son Heung-min’s pass through to Moussa Sissoko to stroke home. Dele Alli doubled Spurs lead on 37 minutes.
Ayew began the turnaround for West Ham by converting after Spurs goalie parried Edimilson Fernandes’ thunderous drive and the Black Stars deputy skipper poked home the second following Manuel Lanzini’s cutback. Angelo Ogbonna finally nodded in the third from a corner to complete the stunning turnaround.
Andre Ayew’s brace yesterday, has indeed nailed the fact that he has been directly involved in more goals than any other West Ham player, with 10 goals and 5 assists since joining the club in August 2016.
