"Fulham doubled their advantage in the 34th minute when ex-Arsenal midfielder Alex Iwobi fired in from range to leave the visitors with a huge uphill battle. Spurs substitute Richarlison pulled one back after 65 minutes, but a late rally could not stop the club's winless run in the Premier League extending to a record-equalling 10th match with the 16th-placed outfit still only four points above the bottom three."
"Tudor moved away from his favoured 3-4-2-1 system and went with a back four, but Spurs conceded after seven minutes. Wilson had scored in the sixth minute of the November meeting and punished Tottenham again when Oscar Bobb's cross found the Wales international, who rifled in on the half-volley."
"The visitors were incensed about a slight push on Dragusin by Jimenez, but Craig Pawson in the VAR chair at Stockley Park decided it was not enough to warrant a foul. Contact by Jimenez was soft but the incident was strikingly similar to the goal ruled out for Spurs forward Randal Kolo Muani against Arsenal last Sunday due to a slight push."
Tottenham's relegation fears intensified following a 2-1 loss at Fulham under interim head coach Igor Tudor. Spurs conceded early when Harry Wilson scored in the seventh minute, with Tottenham protesting an uncalled foul by Raúl Jiménez on Radu Dragusin. Alex Iwobi doubled Fulham's lead in the 34th minute with a well-struck effort. Richarlison reduced the deficit after 65 minutes, but Tottenham could not complete a comeback. The defeat marked Tottenham's fourth consecutive Premier League loss and extended their winless run to a record-equalling 10 matches. Sitting 16th with only a four-point cushion above the bottom three, Tottenham faces mounting pressure.
