Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Fulham: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday, 29 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Fulham stunned Tottenham Hotspur with two early goals at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, taking control right from the kick-off. Kenny Tete opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a goal assisted by Samuel Chukwueze, and Harry Wilson doubled the lead just two minutes later in the 6th, assisted by Joshua King. Tottenham, despite dominating possession, struggled to break down Fulham’s defence in the first half, with Micky van de Ven picking up a yellow card in the 30th minute for his troubles.

The second half saw Tottenham push harder, and they pulled one back in the 59th minute when Mohammed Kudus scored, assisted by Lucas Bergvall. A triple substitution followed immediately at the 60th minute, with X. Simons replacing Richarlison, Wilson Odobert coming on for Archie Gray, and Rodrigo Bentancur taking over from João Palhinha, but Fulham held firm despite further changes and late yellow cards on both sides. Tottenham’s late pressure, including a yellow for Destiny Udogie in the 49th and Randal Kolo Muani in stoppage time, wasn’t enough to find an equaliser, leaving Fulham to claim a deserved 2-1 victory.

Tottenham Hotspur controlled 63% of possession compared to Fulham’s 37%, which allowed them to rack up eight corners against Fulham’s two, but they couldn’t convert that dominance into enough goals. Successful dribbles were nearly even at 47 for Tottenham and 50 for Fulham, showing the visitors’ effectiveness on the counter, while assists stood at one for Tottenham and two for Fulham, reflecting the clinical nature of the away side’s early strikes. Yellow cards totalled three for Tottenham and two for Fulham, with no reds issued, and both teams made multiple substitutions—Tottenham using five, including a triple change at 60’ where Richarlison made way for X. Simons, Archie Gray for Wilson Odobert, and João Palhinha for Rodrigo Bentancur, followed by Lucas Bergvall off for Pape Matar Sarr at 77’ and Destiny Udogie replaced by Mathys Tel at 85’—yet these changes couldn’t overturn Fulham’s lead.

Fulham’s four substitutions, such as Harry Wilson off for Sasa Lukic and Joshua King replaced by Emile Smith Rowe at 68’, then Samuel Chukwueze making way for Kevin at 81’ and Alex Iwobi for Timothy Castagne at 87’, helped them manage the game effectively without any penalties or injury-time goals influencing the result.

The match’s decisive moments came early with Fulham’s quickfire goals: Kenny Tete’s 4th-minute strike assisted by Samuel Chukwueze, followed by Harry Wilson’s finish in the 6th assisted by Joshua King, setting a tone Tottenham couldn’t fully recover from. Tottenham’s response arrived in the 59th minute via Mohammed Kudus, assisted by Lucas Bergvall, sparking hope, but their triple substitution at 60’—X. Simons on for Richarlison, Wilson Odobert replacing Archie Gray, and Rodrigo Bentancur for João Palhinha—didn’t yield the equaliser despite increased pressure.

Disciplinary actions added tension, with yellow cards for Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven at 30’, Destiny Udogie at 49’, and Randal Kolo Muani at 90+4’, while Fulham saw Raúl Jiménez booked at 78’ and Bernd Leno at 90+1’, but no red cards or penalties shifted the momentum significantly.

Tottenham Hotspur lined up in a 4-2-2-2 formation, with a focus on width and midfield control that saw partnerships like Lucas Bergvall assisting Mohammed Kudus effectively in attack, though defensive lapses early on proved costly.

Fulham deployed a 4-2-3-1 shape, leveraging attacking midfielders like Harry Wilson and Joshua King to support quick counters, with assists from Samuel Chukwueze and King highlighting their efficient forward play.

Harry Wilson earned Man of the Match honours for his early goal in the 6th minute and overall influence before being substituted off at 68’ for Sasa Lukic, helping Fulham secure the win with his sharp finishing and involvement in the attack.
