Tottenham fell to a 2-1 home defeat to Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday night - extending their winless run to four games with Thomas Frank now under huge pressure

Former Tottenham full-back Ryan Sessegnon promptly took to social media to celebrate Fulham's 2-1 win over his former club on Saturday night. The 25-year-old started for Marco Silva, playing the full 90 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The left-back spent five years in north London before joining Fulham on a free transfer after his Spurs contract expired in 2024. Sessegnon's spell at Spurs was hampered by injuries, with the left-back making just 57 appearances for the club.

Despite his time there, Sessegnon now seems firmly opposed to Spurs. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), the defender wrote after his side's win: "FULHAM FULHAM FULHAM!!"

The post prompted a number of replies, with one fan asking: "Why do you hate Spurs so much, mate?" Another rubbed it in, adding: "Champions of Europe, we know what we are. You’d have liked that better."

It was Spurs' fourth consecutive Premier League game without a win, following last weekend's defeat to Arsenal. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario came under scrutiny after his mistake gifted Fulham their second goal.

The Italian was subject of boos from the home fans, something which manager Thomas Frank did not agree with. "I didn't like that our fans booed at him [Vicario] straight after and a few times he touched the ball," he said in his press conference.

"They can't be true Tottenham fans because everyone supports each other when you are on the pitch. Of course I understand [fans' frustration]. That's not what I said.

"Completely, I understand the frustration when it's not working. I think we were all a bit that it's going against us and it's frustrating in many ways, so that I understand. No problem.

"I think there's nothing that the players, I, everyone want to get the win here. Nothing we want more.

Frank continued: "And I hope the fans can see that they were running out there today, giving everything. But football is so beautiful and complex. It's 11 players that need to be in sync and play and run at the same time.

"And there are small setbacks during games, you need to get through it and stick to the plan, stick to the bits. And sometimes it's just more tough.

"And sometimes you're in a spell where it's difficult, which it is right now. But there's only one way, it's going forward and do everything you can to get out of it together. So there's only one thing, we keep going and do everything we can to win the next home game."
