Tottenham Hotspur's struggles continue, with a 2-1 loss to Fulham at Craven Cottage, marking their 10th consecutive Premier League game without a win. This equalled a club record and deepened their relegation fears, leaving them just four points above the drop zone in 16th place.


Fulham's first-half goals from Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi proved too much for Spurs, despite a second-half consolation from Richarlison. Interim manager Igor Tudor's side have now won just two league games in 2026, sparking concerns about their top-flight status.


A deep cross from Oscar Bobb, a January addition, floated into the danger zone, deflecting off Conor Gallagher and landing perfectly for Harry Wilson to unleash a powerful volley into the net.


Wilson's ninth league goal of the season was confirmed after VAR ruled out a potential foul on Radu Dragusin, dealing a blow to struggling Spurs.


Things went from bad to worse for Tottenham when former Arsenal midfielder Alex Iwobi doubled Fulham's lead just before half-time, leaving Spurs facing an uphill battle.



Alex Iwobi picked the ball up from deep, exchanged passes with Harry Wilson, and created space to fire a precise side-foot shot from outside the box, beating Guglielmo Vicario to score.


Iwobi's goal marked the eighth consecutive league game where Spurs conceded at least two goals. Emile Smith Rowe led Fulham's post-break attack, hitting the post and having another shot blocked by Vicario, keeping Spurs on the back foot.


The home team’s failure to put the game to bed offered encouragement to the visitors, who reduced the deficit through Richarlison with over 20 minutes left to play.


The substitute had the simple task of nodding in from close range after meeting Archie Gray’s inviting cross towards the far post. 



 
Richarlison's goal wasn't enough to save Tottenham, as they lost 2-1 to Fulham, making Igor Tudor the first manager to lose his first two games in charge since Martin Jol in 2004. Spurs remain 16th, just four points above the relegation zone.


Fulham's win moves them up to ninth, dealing a blow to Tottenham's relegation battle. With 10 games left, Spurs need to pick up points quickly to avoid a disastrous season.
