Here are our Tottenham player ratings after another home defeat with Fulham coming away with the Premier League victory on Saturday
Spurs lost 2-1 at home to Fulham on Saturday night in the Premier League to continue their wretched form at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and here are our Spurs player ratings.
Thomas Frank made four changes to the Spurs team that lost 5-3 at PSG in the Champions League with Randal Kolo Muani hitting his first two goals for the club and Richarlison making it three goals in three games for him. The Spurs boss once again paired up 19-year-olds Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall in the midfield.
Kevin Danso came in for suspended Spurs captain Cristian Romero while Mohammed Kudus and Destiny Udogie were also back in the starting line-up.
The hosts started the game disastrously. Fulham took the lead just three minutes in after some sloppy Spurs play. First Danso sent a loose header to the visitors and then Bergvall misjudged a Samuel Chukwueze pass which landed at the feet of Kenny Tete. His shot deflected off Udogie and into the net.
Then just three minutes later and Guglielmo Vicario came out to claim a ball outside of his box and inexplicably chose not to knock it out of play and instead hit a weak pass down the line and the ball eventually fell to Harry Wilson, who curled the ball from the touchline into the empty net.
Chukwueze curled an effort against the left-hand post before Micky van de Ven prevented a third Fulham goal with a last-gasp tackle to stop the same Fulham player after he had rounded Vicario.
The Spurs players gathered on the pitch in a circle as the half-time boos rang around the stadium and they returned for the second half with more intent.
That brought a goal back on 59 minutes when Bergvall picked up a loose ball and chipped a ball to Kudus and the Ghanaian lashed a left-footed half-volley into the top left corner with Bernd Leno only getting fingertips to it on its way in.
Bergvall had a header cleared off the line but Spurs never really did enough to justify a point, let alone all three and now they have won just three games in 21 home league matches.
Here are our Spurs player ratings:
Guglielmo Vicario
Couldn't do much about Tete's deflected shot but had an absolute stinker with a ball over the top that he came out of his box to get and then for some reason didn't kick it out of play. Instead he hit it weakly down the line and eventually Wilson curled it back into the empty net. The goalkeeper was booed on the next two occasions he touched the ball and cheered when he put the ball out of play the next time he was in a similar position. Didn't have anything else to do all game really. Saved Spurs on a few occasions this season but this was not his day. 3
Pedro Porro
Horrendous first half with sloppy moments in possession and weak crosses. Allowed Chukwueze to get in for a big chance on 26 minutes only for Van de Ven to bail him out. Improved after the break with good crosses for Kolo Muani and Xavi but still pretty poor. 3
Kevin Danso
Came in for the suspended Romero and other than a poor header that allowed Fulham to take in the build-up to the first goal, he defended well enough. 5
Micky van de Ven
Captain for the night, he was all over the place in the opening stages with a shanked pass out of play and slipping over while running back on a couple of occasions. However, on 26 minutes he made a great last-gasp tackle to deny Chukwueze after he had rounded Vicario. Then won an important header right in front of goal to deny Jimenez. Still not his best night but those were two moments of top defending. 7
Destiny Udogie
His deflection sent Tete's shot past Vicario and he slipped as Wilson hit his goalbound shot. Didn't offer too much going forward. 4
Archie Gray
Back-to-back starts and he seemed to be the only one asking for the ball at times in the first half as others hid. Didn't quite do enough with the ball though before coming off after Kudus' goal. 5
Joao Palhinha
One of his shakier performances as he offered little in either half and was brought off in the triple change. 5
Lucas Bergvall
Plenty of energy although he was wrong-footed in the build-up to Fulham's opener. Played a good ball over the top for Kudus to score and had a header cleared off the line. 7
Mohammed Kudus
Poor for almost an hour with weak crosses, corners and aimless dribbles before coming alive with a half-volley into the near top corner. Pretty much returned to how he was soon after though. A poor performance propped up by a good goal. 6
Richarlison
Offered nothing of note. Limped around a bit. 3
Randal Kolo Muani
The far busier of the forwards, sending a header into the side-netting and a backheel just wide. 6
Subs
Xavi Simons
Came on but failed to really do anything to suggest he should have started beyond a little burst of energy. Had one shot deflected over. 5
Wilson Odobert
It wasn't long before he was at left-back and other than a couple of runs to the byline, he offered little. 5
Rodrigo Bentancur
Looked shaky in possession and didn't bring any improvement on Palhinha. 5
Pape Matar Sarr
Brought on for Bergvall but Spurs lost something with the switch. 4
