Tottenham suffered another London derby defeat, this time at the hands of Fulham, who celebrated Marco Silva's 200th game in charge with a 2-1 win. Spurs are now winless in their last six Premier League home games (D2, L4), and pressure is mounting on manager Thomas Frank's predecessor, Ange Postecoglou's successor, Daniel Levy.


Fulham's victory was hard-fought, with Tottenham struggling to create clear-cut chances. The hosts had a nightmare start, and their recent poor form continued as they fell to a dismal defeat, adding to their 4-1 loss to Arsenal last Sunday.


Fulham stormed into a 2-0 lead within six minutes, with Kenny Tete's deflected strike and Harry Wilson's stunning long-range goal catching Tottenham off guard. Wilson's left-footed finish from a tight angle was a nightmare for Guglielmo Vicario, who was out of position.


Tottenham's defense was in shambles, conceding two goals in the first six minutes, the earliest they've ever done so in a Premier League home match. Samuel Chukwueze almost made it 3-0 with a powerful left-footed strike that hit the post.


Micky van de Ven had to bail out Pedro Porro with a timely challenge in the box, saving Spurs from further embarrassment. Thomas Frank's side was struggling, and it seemed like Fulham would run riot.


Tottenham's first half was a nightmare, with their defense in tatters. Fulham, on the other hand, were clinical and purposeful, leaving Silva delighted with his side's performance at halftime.


Spurs needed a spark, and Randal Kolo Muani's near miss gave them hope. His header skimmed the side netting, but it showed they could create chances. Now, they need to step up in the second half.


Mohammed Kudus pulled one back for Spurs with a powerful left-footed strike, beating Bernd Leno at the near post. The momentum shifted, and Fulham's lead looked shaky. Raúl Jiménez made a crucial clearance off the line to deny Lucas Bergvall's header, keeping Fulham alive.


Frank’s men kept pressing forward in pursuit of an equaliser, with Wilson Odobert and Kolo Muani both spurning further opportunities to wipe out the Cottagers’ lead.


However, an impressive defensive effort ensured Fulham held on to claim a first away league win of the season, extending their unbeaten H2H run to four games (W3, D1).


Tottenham's woeful November continues, with Thomas Frank's side suffering a third consecutive defeat across all competitions. The latest loss, a 2-1 defeat to Fulham at home, has raised concerns about Frank's tactics and the team's overall performance. Spurs have now won just one of their last six games, and their poor home form is a major concern, with only one win in 21 league matches this season.
