Tottenham’s relegation fears intensified after a 2-1 loss at Fulham, their fourth consecutive Premier League defeat. Interim head coach Igor Tudor switched to a back four but saw his side fall behind after seven minutes when Harry Wilson scored from Oscar Bobb’s cross. Spurs were incensed that Raul Jimenez’s push on Radu Dragusin went unpunished, a decision similar to a goal ruled out for Randal Kolo Muani against Arsenal.
Fulham doubled their lead in the 34th minute through Alex Iwobi, who fired in from range after a one-two with Wilson. Tottenham had chances before half-time but were fortunate not to trail 3-0 after Calvin Bassey hooked over in stoppage time. The hosts remained on top after the break, with Emile Smith Rowe missing a chance to tee up Jimenez.
Substitute Richarlison pulled one back for Spurs in the 65th minute, heading in from Archie Gray’s cross. However, a late rally failed to produce an equaliser, with Pape Sarr firing into the side-netting. Fulham held on to leave Tottenham 16th, just four points above the relegation zone and now winless in 10 league matches – equalling a club record.
