Fulham add to Tottenham’s relegation fears with narrow victory

Tottenham’s relegation fears intensified after a limp 2-1 defeat to Fulham on Sunday, their fourth consecutive loss and ninth Premier League game without a win. Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi scored for the hosts, with Richarlison’s late header proving only a consolation.

Igor Tudor’s side offered little resistance, lacking the aggression and coherence that had briefly flickered in last week’s north London derby defeat. Conor Gallagher struggled, Xavi Simons was anonymous, and Randal Kolo Muani repeatedly ran the ball out of play. All three were substituted before the hour.

Fulham carved through Spurs with ease, missing several clear chances before Wilson volleyed the opener. Spurs protested a push by Raúl Jiménez on Radu Dragusin in the build-up, but referee Thomas Bramall allowed the goal. Iwobi then doubled the lead with a stunning 25-yard strike, aided by Dominic Solanke’s failure to track his run.

Richarlison’s header gave Spurs hope with 24 minutes left, but they failed to build on it. The result leaves Tottenham deep in relegation trouble, with the threat of the drop no longer a distant possibility but a growing reality.
