Spurs 3 – West Ham 1: Martin Ho Reacts

Spurs manager Martin Ho spoke to the press after his side’s 3-1 win over West Ham on the opening day of the 2026/27 season.

An opener from Signe Gaupset followed by a brace from Kirsty Hanson saw the team cruise into a 3-0 lead. Conceding a late goal in added time was the only blemish on a very positive day. As the Spurs boss noted his side could have scored many more goals than they did.

Ho was generally pleased with the performance and highlighted the contribution of the debutants, not least Hanson. He also gave injury updates on Toko Koga and Alice Sombath.

Here is everything he had to say:

However, with several big-name summer signings confirmed and an ambitious manager in Martin Ho still in place, the team will be looking to improve on that this time around.
