Tottenham Hotspur's alarming struggles on their own turf have been laid bare by a damning statistic: newly-promoted Sunderland have already won more home Premier League games in 2025 than Spurs, despite having played nine fewer matches at their own ground.
A Stadium Built for Glory, Now a Fortress of Frustration
The situation reached a new low on Saturday as Thomas Frank's side slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Fulham, greeted by a chorus of boos from the furious home crowd. This result means Spurs have managed just a single victory in North London this entire campaign, that being a 3-0 win over Burnley on the opening day.
Since that bright start, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium—an arena designed to host thrilling football and trophy celebrations—has witnessed a string of failures. Spurs have hosted and failed to beat Bournemouth, Wolves, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester United, and now Fulham. Marco Silva's Cottagers, incidentally, had not won an away match since May prior to this weekend.
The numbers are stark. In six home league games this season, Tottenham have scored only seven goals. More broadly, across the whole of 2025, Spurs fans have seen their team win just three Premier League matches at home. With three draws and ten losses alongside those wins, it constitutes the worst home record in the top flight this calendar year, barring teams who have been relegated or recently promoted.
How Spurs Compare to the Premier League's Home Performers
The scale of Tottenham's home woes is emphasised by the contrasting fortunes of others. Sunderland, enjoying a mightily impressive return to the Premier League, have won four of their seven home games and drawn the other three.
Even clubs in dire straits have fared better in front of their own supporters. West Ham, with only two home wins all season, and Wolverhampton Wanderers, rooted to the bottom of the table without a single victory in 2025/26, both have a superior home points record than Spurs this year.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, Manchester City are the Premier League's undisputed home kings, winning 14 of 17 games in 2025. They are followed by Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Liverpool, with Arsenal and Newcastle also ranking highly.
Boos, Backlash, and a Brentford Test
The toxic atmosphere is now impacting the squad. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was persistently booed after his mistake led to Harry Wilson's goal for Fulham, a reaction manager Thomas Frank labelled "completely unacceptable." Defender Pedro Porro added fuel to the fire, taking to Instagram to criticise "disrespect from the fans to my team-mates" after he was seen arguing with Lucas Bergvall, who had stayed to applaud the supporters.
Frank faces a pivotal test to rectify this crisis when his former club, Brentford, visit North London on Saturday. The Bees will be desperate to compound his misery, leaving the Danish manager under intense pressure to finally get Spurs purring in the stadium they call home.
The 2025 Premier League home table makes for grim reading for anyone connected with Tottenham Hotspur, highlighting a fundamental issue that must be solved if their season is to be salvaged.
