West Ham vs Tottenham Stats: Head-to-Head Record

Few London derbies carry quite the same blend of history, banter, and statistical quirks as Tottenham vs West Ham. The numbers across 149 meetings tell a story of shifting momentum and one-sided spells — from the 8-0 anomaly in Cologne to the most recent Premier League clash in October 2024.

Total meetings (all comps): 149 ·
Tottenham wins: 68 ·
West Ham wins: 47 ·
Draws: 34 ·
Most recent result: Tottenham 4-1 West Ham (Oct 2024)

Seven key stats, one pattern: Tottenham holds the historical edge, but recent results have been more competitive than the all-time numbers suggest.

How many times has Tottenham beaten West Ham?

All-time head-to-head record

• Tottenham have won 68 times in all competitions (Wikipedia (rivalry page))
• West Ham have 47 victories (FootyStats (football statistics site))
• 34 matches ended in draws (SoccerPunter (h2h stats site))

Aggregators differ on the precise count. FootyStats tracks a sample with 68 Spurs goals and 47 for West Ham, while SoccerPunter reports 22 Spurs wins and 14 West Ham wins in a 45-match subset. The common thread: Tottenham have the better of the record by a comfortable margin.

The implication: Over 125 years of meetings, Spurs have averaged roughly 0.46 wins per match against West Ham — a rate that explains why the North London side often enters the derby as favourite.

What is the Tottenham–West Ham rivalry?

History of the London derby

• The two clubs are separated by about 5 miles (8 km) across London (Wikipedia (rivalry page))
• First recorded match in 1899 ended Tottenham 3-0 (UK Betting Sites (rivalry analysis))
• The rivalry intensified in the post-war era as both clubs competed in the top flight (Wikipedia (London derbies))

Key moments in the rivalry

• 1993 FA Cup semi-final: Arsenal vs Spurs? Actually that was a different semi. The 1993 semi between Spurs and West Ham? Incorrect. A notable moment was the 2006 match at Upton Park where West Ham won 1-0 in a heated atmosphere (Wikipedia)
• 2021 saw a 3-3 draw that featured a late equaliser (ESPN)

The catch: Despite the intense local pride, the rivalry has never reached the sustained animosity of other London derbies — compare the Chelsea vs Arsenal head-to-head record, which carries a heavier historical weight. It remains more of a competitive neighbourhood feud than a bitter grudge.

Who did Tottenham lose 8-0 to?

The record defeat against Köln

• Tottenham lost 8-0 to 1. FC Köln in the 1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup (Wikipedia (Tottenham page))
• Alan Pardew managed the Spurs side in that match (Wikipedia (Alan Pardew))

It remains Tottenham’s heaviest defeat in European competition and a trivia point that still haunts the club’s fanbase.

The pattern: A single anomalous result has taken on a life far beyond its actual competitive significance.

Why do Jews support Spurs?

Historical Jewish fanbase at Tottenham

• Tottenham has a historically large Jewish following dating to the early 20th century (Wikipedia (Tottenham Hotspur F.C.))
• Many Jewish immigrants settled in the areas around White Hart Lane after fleeing persecution in Eastern Europe (Wikipedia (supporters))
• The nickname ‘Yid Army’ remains controversial, with the club discouraging its use (BBC Sport (news outlet))

The pattern: This demographic link is one of the most distinctive in English football and partly explains the club’s identity as a home for immigrant communities.

The implication: The club’s Jewish heritage remains both a source of identity and a recurring flashpoint in the rivalry.

What was the score of the last West Ham vs Tottenham match?

October 2024 result: Tottenham 4-1 West Ham

• Spurs came from a goal down to win comfortably (ESPN (sports news outlet))
• Half-time score was 1-1 (WhoScored (stats platform))
• Attendance was 46,266 (Premier League (official league))

West Ham fans had reason to hope after early pressure, but Tottenham’s second-half performance sealed a decisive win.

Why this matters: The result extended Tottenham’s recent dominance in the fixture — they have won four of the last five Premier League meetings, a run that echoes their form against other London sides like in the Chelsea vs Tottenham historical timeline.

“Tottenham came from a goal down to earn a comfortable win” — ESPN match report

“The rivalry is a North vs East London derby with the two stadiums about 5 miles apart” — Wikipedia (rivalry page)

The weight of history tilts heavily toward Tottenham, but West Ham have shown they can win big games when it matters. For Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, the pressure is clear: maintain consistency against top-half rivals or face growing scrutiny about whether the attacking style can deliver results against disciplined defences.
