"By six minutes in, Silva was cavorting on the sidelines with his Fulham staff. His team were 2-0 up, and the home fans were baying for blood. By the final whistle, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium emptying, the mood was even lower, Frank's outlook even bleaker. Fulham did the damage early. Following neat skills from Samuel Chukwueze, Pedro Porro and Archie Gray tied in knots, Kenny Tete was given space and grace to score, via a deflection off Destiny Udogie."
"Two minutes late, after Guglielmo Vicario's mis-kick from way outside his own area, the Italian heading out on a wholly unscheduled safari, had been diverted to Harry Wilson by Josh King. Wilson guided his lob beautifully, the keeper stranded, home fans up in arms. As Frank raged on the sidelines, Chukwueze, making an impressive first start, hit a post; where Tottenham were disastrous, Fulham were in devastating form."
Thomas Frank has rapidly moved from early hope to serious pressure following Tottenham's recent results. Fresh ownership and the circumstances of his appointment have left his job vulnerable. Fulham established a 2-0 lead within six minutes, with Kenny Tete scoring after a run and a deflection off Destiny Udogie, and Harry Wilson converting after Guglielmo Vicario's mis-kick was diverted to him by Josh King. Fulham's attacking, risk-taking style caused Tottenham problems, with Samuel Chukwueze impressing on his first start and hitting a post. The home atmosphere soured as the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium emptied and expectations plummeted.
