Ghana international Mohammed Kudus scored his second Premier League goal of the season, but Tottenham Hotspur suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss to Fulham on home soil on Saturday night.
Fulham stunned Spurs with an explosive start, scoring twice inside the opening six minutes. Kenny Tete broke the deadlock with a deflected strike from the edge of the box, his first goal in nearly two years. Moments later, a costly error from goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario gifted the visitors their second. After rushing out of his area and losing possession, Vicario could only watch as Harry Wilson curled the ball into an empty net from 35 yards.
Tottenham struggled throughout the first half and were fortunate not to fall further behind when Samuel Chukwueze struck the post.
Thomas Frank’s side responded with more urgency after the interval. Kudus clawed one back with a superb volley into the top corner, giving Spurs hope of a comeback. However, the late pressure did not produce an equaliser, and the home crowd expressed their frustration with boos at full-time.
Spurs now sit 10th in the Premier League table, only one point ahead of 15th-placed Fulham. Kudus has now registered seven goal contributions for Tottenham since joining from West Ham in the summer.
