Fulham inflicts more home misery on Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur's woeful Premier League home form continued as Fulham claimed its first away victory of the season with a 2-1 win thanks to early goals by Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson.
Tete's deflected shot put the visitors ahead after four minutes and two minutes later Wilson took advantage of Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario's mistake with a stunning second.
Fulham should have been home and dry before half-time with Samuel Chukwueze denied by the post and then by a goal-saving tackle by Micky van de Ven as Tottenham wobbled.
But the hosts were a different proposition after the break and dominated the game after Mohammed Kudus halved the deficit in the 59th minute with a powerful dipping shot.
Tottenham was unable to salvage anything, though, and has not won a home league match since the opening weekend.
Spurs were booed off at half-time and again at full-time by the long-suffering home faithful, which has enjoyed only three home wins in the Premier League in the past 12 months.
Manager Thomas Frank understood their frustration, but said booing goalkeeper Vicario was 'unacceptable'.
"They can't be true Tottenham fans because everyone supports each other when you're on the pitch and we do everything we can to perform," the Dane said.
Spurs are in 10th place on 18 points while 15th-placed Fulham, which had lost its past five away league games, moved six points above the relegation zone.
"What a great first half from us," Fulham manager Marco Silva said after his 200th game in charge for the club.
"We got two early goals so we were clinical, but we probably should have scored more in the first half. In the second half, we suffered in my opinion, probably more than we should have."
