Toby Alderweireld goal video: Tottenham Hotspur defender produces bullet header against West Ham

Toby Alderweireld strengthened his case for signing of the season by adding a goal to another rock-solid defensive display as Tottenham Hotspur steamrollered West Ham United at White Hart Lane.

The Belgian’s intelligent movement left Winston Reid dizzy in the Hammers box as he met Christian Eriksen’s corner with a thumping near-post header for Tottenham’s second in a 4-1 victory.

Alderweireld, signed from Atletico Madrid under the noses of Southampton for £11.4m in the summer – fee reported by The Guardian – has been a big difference-maker for Mauricio Pochettino’s side this term.

His partnership with compatriot Jan Vertonghen – the two have played every minute of every Premier League game together – has helped Tottenham to one of the best defensive records in the division.

The Londoners have conceded only 11 goals in 13 league games this season. That is a five-goal improvement on the same stage last campaign, and only Manchester United have let in fewer.

And his derby goal highlights another of Alderweireld’s great attributes – how hungry he is to attack the ball in the air. He now has two goals for the season after netting in the 4-1 win over Manchester City.

Harry Kane was on the scoresheet either side of Alderweireld’s header, and Kyle Walker added a late fourth this afternoon as Spurs climbed to within two points of fourth-place Arsenal in the table.
