West Ham experienced a rare moment of triumph in a disappointing season with a 2-0 victory over Manchester United, but it was evident that both clubs were preoccupied with thoughts of Spurs.
West Ham, Tottenham, and Man United have all struggled in the Premier League this season, with the table highlighting their underachievement compared to other European leagues.
The tension between West Ham and Tottenham was clear as Hammers fans were disappointed with their draw against a weakened Spurs side last weekend. However, West Ham managed to rise above both Manchester United and Tottenham with their impressive win at Old Trafford.
Despite their recent success in European competitions, West Ham has faced a lackluster season this year. Meanwhile, the focus of both Tottenham and Manchester United has shifted to the upcoming Europa League final.
While West Ham fans celebrated their victory over Manchester United, they also made it known that their main concern was Tottenham potentially overshadowing their achievements. The possibility of Spurs winning the Europa League and qualifying for the Champions League has caused anxiety among West Ham supporters.
The chant directed at Man United during the match made it clear that the Hammers’ biggest fear is Tottenham succeeding in their upcoming final. The mission for Man United is now crystal clear – stop Tottenham from stealing West Ham’s spotlight.
