Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dejan Kulusevski delivered a fantastic performance against West Ham United in a dominant 4-1 Premier League victory. Spurs lost their last game to Brighton & Hove Albion making it important for Ange Postecoglou’s side to bounce back.
Tottenham have won seven out of 11 games in all competitions so far, suffering a draw and three painful losses. Ange Postecoglou played his favourable 4-3-3 formation with Kulusevski starting as the central midfielder alongside Yves Bissouma and James Maddison.
The Lilywhites dominated the game after conceding an early goal from Mohammed Kudus in the 18th minute of the game. Kulusevski scored the equalising goal in the 36th minute to cheer the faithful home crowd at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The 24-year-old dominated the game and covered a lot of distance, working hard for Spurs in and out of possession. Standing as the right central midfielder, Kulusevski influenced the match constantly, combining with his teammates with fantastic linkup and fluidity.
Squawka Live revealed that the 24-year-old won eight duels during the game and won three fouls with his impressive skills. Furthermore, the Swede made seven touches in the opposition box with four shots while creating two chances for his teammates.
He enjoyed two successful take-ons while fulfilling his defensive duties by making three tackles during the game. Kulusevski made 34 passes with 85% passing accuracy, enjoying 100% accurate long-ball delivery in his all-round performance.
The Sweden international earns £110,000 per week under his contract that expires on June 30, 2028. Kulusevski will justify his lucrative contract if maintains consistency in delivering such performances during the congested fixture period.

Tottenham will face AZ Alkmaar at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Europa League during the midweek. Furthermore, the congested period will continue as Spurs face Crystal Palace next weekend which will push the limit of Kulusevski’s fitness and ability to perform consistently.
