Tottenham suffered a disappointing 2-1 home defeat against Fulham. Despite a late goal from Mohammed Kudus, defensive errors and a lack of overall threat saw them lose at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
According to a report from Football.London, Spurs’ latest home defeat to Fulham showcased calamitous individual errors and widespread poor form across the squad, continuing their “wretched form” at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs’ Player Ratings
Guglielmo Vicario: 3
The Italian goalkeeper had a moment to forget, displaying a colossal error of judgment when venturing out of his net and hitting an ill-advised, feeble pass down the line, directly leading to Fulham’s second goal. He was subsequently met with vocal criticism from the crowd.
Pedro Porro: 3
The right-back endured an atrocious first half, characterized by slack distribution and ineffective deliveries into the box. He relied on a defensive colleague to cover a major defensive lapse, though he displayed slight improvement after the restart.
Kevin Danso: 5
While the defender provided adequate defending throughout the match, he was culpable for giving up a sloppy initial header that contributed directly to the opening goal of the contest.
Micky van de Ven: 7
Appointed captain for the evening, the centre-back overcame a couple of early wobbles (including a clumsy pass and a slip) by delivering two vital pieces of defending, including a goal-saving tackle and a key clearance.
Destiny Udogie: 4
His evening began poorly when a deflection off his leg redirected Kenny Tete’s shot into the net for the opener. He offered minimal impact in the attacking third and appeared unstable during the second goal sequence.
Archie Gray: 5
One of the younger players, he demonstrated effort and looked to involve himself in the play during the first half when other teammates seemed hesitant. However, he failed to influence possession meaningfully before his substitution.
Joao Palhinha: 5
The midfielder produced one of his least influential displays, contributing little going either forward or backward before being taken off during the managerial staff’s multiple second-half substitutions.
Lucas Bergvall: 7
The youthful midfielder showed high energy throughout, and although he mistimed a play in the build-up to the first goal, he created the only scoring opportunity via a fine chipped pass for Kudus, and narrowly missed a goal himself.
Mohammed Kudus: 6
A largely frustrating performance was salvaged by a moment of brilliance at the 59th minute when the Ghanaian “lashed a left-footed half-volley into the top left corner,” but he subsequently faded back into a poor showing.
Richarlison: 3
The Brazilian forward failed to produce any noteworthy offensive moments and appeared to be carrying a minor injury while moving around the pitch.
Randal Kolo Muani: 6
The forward was the most active of the front three, creating his own opportunities by sending a header into the side of the net and pushing a backheel shot just wide of the post.
