West Ham fans were not impressed with the atmosphere at Tottenham’s new stadium when they experienced it for the first time on Saturday.
Michail Antonio’s fierce second-half volley saw West Ham secure a 1-0 victory and become the first team to defeat Spurs at their new ground.

Tottenham fans were quiet during a tepid first-half
And the Hammers, who notably beat Tottenham in the fight for their London Stadium, rubbed salt into the wounds by mocking their rivals over the lack of noise at the new White Hart Lane.
After a tense opening 30 minutes, the away section could be heard chanting, ‘Is this the Emirates?’
Arsenal are often derided for the supposed lack of atmosphere at their 60,000-seater stadium.

Instead, Spurs’ £1billion stadium has reportedly left them in £600million worth of debt – but it is widely heralded as one of the finest in world football.
So while the Hammers were certainly the financial winners, any neutral would probably rather Tottenham’s ground.
We’re definitely not suggesting that West Ham fans are jealous.
