ODDSTRACKER: After David Moyes guided his West Ham side to a truly remarkable comeback against their London rivals, we decided to take a look at how the odds changed during this memorable game of football.
How the Hammers grabbed the most unlikely of draws at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
It’s been a start to the Premier League season that will be remembered for years to come and the drama continued on Sunday afternoon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs hosted London rivals West Ham.
For the majority of the match, it looked as if only one result was on the cards, but things turned around in dramatic fashion…
Having thumped Manchester United 6-1 in their previous Premier League game, Tottenham started this one as a well-fancied 1.62 chance with the Hammers 5.0 and the draw available at 4.0.
It looked to be more of the same from Jose Mourinho’s side who opened the scoring after just 45 seconds through Son Heung-Min.
And it got worse for West Ham as two further first-half goals from Harry Kane saw the north Londoners take what looked an unassailable 3-0 half-time lead.
BETDAQ betting exchange punters agreed with Tottenham 1.01 for victory, West Ham 151.0 and the draw a 51.0 chance.
West Ham were better in the second period but failed to make any inroads and after 80 minutes still trailed their hosts by the three-goal margin.
Fabian Balbuena nodded home an Aaron Cresswell free-kick with eight minutes to go, which looked nothing more than a consolation, with the draw still at 71.0.
However, two minutes later and the comeback was very much on as Davinson Sanchez headed beyond his own goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris, to make it 3-2.
Sanchez’s error saw a massive change in the market as the draw was now just 11.0, with Spurs out to 1.07.
The visitors strived for the equaliser, but it so far proved elusive as the game reached stoppage time.
The draw drifted out to a price of 12.0, while Mourinho’s team shortened slightly to 1.06, but the drama was far from finished.
After Spurs cleared a 94th-minute free-kick, seemingly out of nowhere, Manuel Lanzini unleashed a rocket of a shot with his right foot which cannoned in off the crossbar to earn West Ham the most unlikely point imaginable.
