The breakthrough came in the 78th minute when Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz fired home, sending the home crowd into raptures. Just as Spurs looked to regroup, the Cottagers extended their lead through a stunning strike from substitute Ryan Sessegnon against his former club. The goal, scored within two minutes of Sessegnon’s introduction, sealed the victory for Fulham and piled further misery on Tottenham.

The result leaves Spurs with a bitter taste, condemning them to their 15th Premier League defeat of the season. The performance lacked the intensity and creativity displayed in their midweek Europa League triumph, raising questions about consistency and squad depth.
