Julen Lopetegui is not in imminent danger of the sack despite growing alarm at West Ham about their poor start to the season

West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui has apologised to supporters following their 4-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, but is confident there will be “better moments” in the future. West Ham conceded three goals in eight minutes and Mohammed Kudus was sent off for violent conduct after shoving Micky van de Ven and Pape Mate Sarr in the face.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka lost his man for Yves Bissouma’s goal shortly after the interval, a defensive mix-up between Jean-Clair Todibo and Alphone Areola led to an own goal three minutes later, and then Heung-min Son tied Todibo in knots before slotting in the fourth.
