Fulham executed a high-octane strategy to clinch their maiden away triumph of the season, swiftly dismantling Tottenham Hotspur’s defense in just six frenetic minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Samuel Chukwueze stood out with a stellar performance, orchestrating Fulham’s aggressive attack and laying bare the weaknesses in Spurs’ backline.

Fulham capitalise on Spurs’ early meltdown

The visitors struck first when Chukwueze maneuvered deftly into the penalty area, delivering a precise pass to Kenny Tete. Tete, seizing the opportunity, netted his first goal in almost two years with a shot from the edge of the box that took a deflection on its way in.

Tottenham’s defensive lapses quickly escalated. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario mishandled a straightforward long ball, straying outside his area, which allowed Harry Wilson to gain control.

With composure, Wilson executed a remarkable 35-yard shot into an unguarded net, doubling Fulham’s lead to 2-0.

Chukwueze almost extended the lead twice, first rattling the post after a poorly defended corner, then rounding Vicario before Micky van de Ven produced a last-ditch recovery to deny him a certain goal.

Tottenham’s metrics in the first half were dire: 16 open-play crosses, zero connections, and no meaningful scoring opportunities.

The home crowd made their dissatisfaction clear as boos cascaded down repeatedly.

Spurs improve but fail to recover

Thomas Frank’s side delivered a marginally improved second-half performance, with Mohammed Kudus pulling one back via a superb volley into the top corner from Lucas Bergvall’s lofted pass.

Despite the uptick in tempo, Spurs managed only two shots on target all evening and lacked the quality to manufacture an equaliser.

Chukwueze drives Fulham’s tactical Ulupside

Chukwueze remained a constant problem for Spurs throughout, stretching the defensive line, winning duels, and acting as Fulham’s primary creative engine.

His vertical threat repeatedly forced Tottenham into reactive defending, justifying his status as the night’s standout performer.

This defeat marks Tottenham’s 10th Premier League home loss of 2025, their worst tally since 2003.
