An enthralling London derby ended with an away win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Look back with the best facts and Opta data in our Tottenham vs Fulham stats page.
Tottenham suffered their 10th Premier League home defeat of 2025 on Saturday as they were beaten 2-1 by Fulham, their woes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium showing no sign of stopping.
Spurs went into the game having already fallen to more home league losses in 2025 than any other team who were ever-presents across this season and last, and Saturday’s defeat saw them reach double figures in their own stadium in a calendar year for the first time since 2003.
And it wasn’t as if Saturday’s visitors had a good away record either – Fulham’s one point on the road this term was the joint worst in the division going into Matchday 13.
But the Cottagers stunned Tottenham with two early goals that were ultimately decisive despite Spurs improving somewhat in the second half.
What they mustered wasn’t enough, however, with the intense boos at full-time illustrative of the pressure Thomas Frank is starting to come under.
Fulham couldn’t have hoped for a much better start as they raced into a two-goal lead by the sixth minute.
Samuel Chukwueze inspired the fourth-minute opener, his cut-back towards the edge of the box catching Spurs out and finding Kenny Tete, whose shot took a slight deflection off Destiny Udogie on its way past Guglielmo Vicario.
Spurs’ goalkeeper was then culpable less than two minutes later, when he rushed out of his area and cleared the ball straight to Josh King, the young midfielder shifting possession on to Harry Wilson for a shot into the empty net from out wide on the right.
It was the earliest (5 minutes, 43 seconds) in Premier League history that Spurs found themselves trailing 2-0 at home, and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was in shock.
Things could’ve got even worse when Chukwueze struck the post in the 11th minute, while the Nigerian was denied a certain goal by a desperate last-ditch tackle from Micky van de Ven after skipping past Vicario.
Spurs did appear to get a bit more of a handle on Fulham’s devastating transitions but offered precious little genuine threat themselves, reaching half-time having had just two shots equating to 0.07 expected goals (xG).
That may not have been especially shocking given Tottenham have had the fewest shots (44) and shots on target (14) and third-lowest xG (4.68) in the first half of Premier League games this season, though that’ll have been no comfort to despondent Spurs fans who booed them off at the break.
Such frustration reflected a sense of hopelessness at the situation; after all, Tottenham hadn’t won any of their previous 39 Premier League games when trailing by 2+ goals at half time (D2 L37) since a 3-2 win at Arsenal back in November 2010.
There was a modest improvement after the break, though, and Spurs were back to within one goal of their visitors by the hour after Mohammed Kudus chested down Lucas Bergvall’s pass and unleashed an unstoppable strike into the top-right corner from a relatively acute angle.
Something of an onslaught followed, during which Bergvall saw a header cleared off the line by Raúl Jiménez. But Fulham survived unscathed and found a foothold in the game once again following a flurry of substitutions.
Spurs never really found their groove again and Fulham held onto their first away win of the 2025-26 Premier League season.
