Jussi Jaaskelainen Gives Up Three in Heartbreaker to Tottenham

Despite the scoreline, Jaaskelainen played one of his best games of the year Monday night against Tottenham Hotspur. Unfortunately, West Ham saw it all go for naught as Gareth Bale rocketed in a shot from 30 yards in the 90th minute to earn a 3-2 win against the Hammers.

Truly, this was a tough pill to swallow for the veteran goalkeeper. In a back and forth game, Jaaskelainen kept his team in the match with several huge saves, tipping shots onto the post and over the bar throughout the match. Yet at the end of the day, it's three more goals scored on the West Ham defense, this time at home, though admittedly by a very good Spurs squad.
