Serge Aurier's red card on his first Premier League start hardly eased the concerns of those Tottenham fans who fear the Ivorian right-back could be something of a liability.
Aurier was booked twice within the space of six second-half minutes and might well have cost Spurs the three points as West Ham mounted a late fightback.
The 24-year-old had a turbulent time at Paris Saint-Germain, getting into trouble with the law and was banned after aiming homophobic slurs at Laurent Blanc and Zlatan Ibrahimovic - but Mauricio Pochettino offered him a clean slate after his £23million move.
