Tottenham vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result, latest updates and reaction after Spurs lose London derby

Tottenham vs Fulham LIVE

A London derby concluded Saturday’s action from the Premier League as Tottenham were beaten at home by Fulham. Having not won a domestic fixture in a month and on hot on the heels of successive defeats away from home, Spurs were in desperate need of all three points to get their season back on track.

Home form was a massive issue for Thomas Frank's side before kick-off and it remains the case as the 2-1 defeat follows up previous losses to Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Chelsea. Mohammed Kudus did reduce the deficit in the second half but Fulham held on to the lead given to them by Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson inside a devastating six minute spell for the away side.

The Cottagers, meanwhile, have won their first away game in the league this season. Furthermore, they are now unbeaten against Spurs in four games thanks to a stunning opening six minutes. Follow the Tottenham vs Fulham back below with Standard Sport's dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Matt Verri at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium!

FULL-TIME

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

More boos ring around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs lose for a third time in six days.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:53 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

90+3 min: Kolo Muani concedes a free-kick for pulling back Tete and receives a yellow card. That should be that.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:52 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

90+2 min: 50/50 between Tete and Odobert sees the latter get the decision but Andersen gets first contact to Danso’s long throw. Feels like that has been the theme all night.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:50 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

90 min: Board goes up...FOUR MINUTES added time as Porro puts the ball out of play.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:46 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

87 min: Latest Fulham change sees Castagne replace ex-Arsenal midfielder Alex Iwobi.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:44 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

85 min: Poor delivery from Lukic and Tottenham clear.

Final throw of the dice from Frank as he brings on Tel for Udogie. Taking off a defender for an attacker, who says the Dane is a cautious coach??

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:43 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

84 min: Needless tackle from Bentancur near his own box results in a free-kick for Tottenham to defend and Fulham have sent Andersen up for this.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:42 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

83 min: Kevin with an attempt for Fulham which Vicario saves with relative ease.

Matt Verri at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

21:41 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Ten minutes to salvage something, as Kolo Muani backheels just wide. If Spurs can't turn this around, the pressure is going to pile on Frank. Even a point would feel precious considering how bad things have been at home for Spurs.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:40 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

80 min: Chukwueze’s first Premier League start comes to an end as he is replaced by Fulham’s club-record signing Kevin.

Visitors ten minutes away from a huge win.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:38 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

78 min: Jimenez hurls himself at Chukwueze’s cross but ends up handling the ball which earns him a yellow card.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:36 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

77 min: Sarr replaces Bergvall for Tottenham.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

75 min: Fulham have successfully managed to slow down the tempo in the last five minutes or so and are enjoying some possession. You feel it’s just a matter of time before Spurs start cranking up the pressure though.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:33 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

73 min: Fulham come forward with Sessegnon but Van de Ven sees out the danger with a fine block on Smith Rowe inside the area. A reminder that Spurs have to be careful when committing players forward.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:31 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

72 min: Iwobi has come over to the left-hand side for Fulham, while Lukic has taken up his usual position in central midfield.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:30 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

71 min: Magical touch from Kudus to set the ball back for Porro who whips in a cross to the back post, Odobert rises above Tete but can’t keep his header down.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:27 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

67 min: Fulham changes now as Lukic and Smith Rowe replace Wilson and King.

Looks like Wilson is struggling with a hamstring issue.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:26 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

66 min: CHANCES! Porro pulls the ball back for Simons who sees his effort deflected over by Andersen and from the resulting corner, Jimenez heads Bergvall’s effort off the line.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:23 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

63 min: Kudus is giving Sessegnon nightmares down Tottenham’s right-hand side. Would imagine Marco Silva will be thinking about a change before his Fulham side are punished again.

Matt Verri at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

21:20 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Goal back, crowd up and now three subs. Momentum is well and truly with Spurs and they've got plenty of time to get something from this match.

Tottenham 1-2 Fulham

21:20 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

60 min: Here comes the Spurs changes...

ON: Simons, Bentancur, Odobert

OFF: Richarlison, Palhinha, Gray.

GOAL! Tottenham 1-2 Fulham | Mohammed Kudus ‘59

21:19 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

59 min: GOAL FOR TOTTENHAM!

Mohammed Kudus produces something special to get Spurs back in this!

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

21:16 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

56 min: Another disappointing delivery from Kudus. Could be one of the Spurs players to make way? Frank is preparing a triple change just as Kolo Muani puts his header just wide.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

21:14 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

55 min: Good defending from Udogie to hold up King as the Fulham defender advanced on goal. Spurs fans not happy with the officials after Richarlison was dashed to the floor by Bassey.

Replays show the Brazilian had an equal hold of Bassey’s shirt. Just was not strong enough.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

21:12 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

52 min: Slowly but surely, Tottenham are building up some momentum. Kudus’ corner causes trouble for Leno who manages to get a strong hand to the ball under pressure.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

21:08 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

49 min: The yellow card is out again and is shown to Udogie after he wipes out Tete. The Tottenham defender overran the ball and collided with the Fulham goalscorer.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

21:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

46 min: Already an improvement from Spurs as Kolo Muani sees his strike blocked by Bassey.

KICK-OFF!

21:04 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Back underway in north London!

Thomas Frank has NOT made a change...

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

21:04 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Something has to change for Tottenham in the next 45 minutes. Looking at the options Thomas Frank has on the bench tonight and from an attacking sense, Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson and Mathys Tel must be in his thoughts.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:59 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Another look at Harry Wilson’s finish?

Go on then!

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:54 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

A touch of fortune about Fulham’s first goal tonight...

HALF-TIME

20:49 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

Boos ring around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:48 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

45+3 min: One last chance for Spurs before half-time as Porro wins a corner...

Kudus swings it in but the delivery misses everyone.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:46 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

45 min: At last, another shot from Spurs. It’s over the bar from Van de Ven, but at least it’s an attempt at goal.

Three added minutes has been signalled. Can the hosts get back into this before the break?

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:44 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

44 min: Fulham have coped well with Danso’s long throws so far. Jimenez has come back on all of them and his aerial presence is making such a big difference.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:42 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

42 min: The reaction from the Tottenham fans at half-time will be something.

If it stays like this, of course...

Matt Verri at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

20:40 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Van de Ven has single-handedly stopped this being 4-0. Brilliant headed clearance with Jimenez lurking in the six-yard box.

I'm still not entirely sure what system Spurs are trying to play - whatever it is, it has to change at half-time.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:39 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

39 min: Van de Ven is keeping Spurs in this. Another last-ditch piece of defending by the Dutchman to stop Jimenez getting on the end of a cross from Chukwueze.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:37 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

37 min: Fantastic battle between Bassey and Kolo Muani which sees the Fulham defender ultimately come out on top. The pair shake hands afterwards.

More of that please!

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

35 min: Really poor that from Udogie. He is looking across the line and still manages to be flagged offside. Spurs were in a promising position there.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:34 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

33 min: Still no shot on target from Spurs and we have played just over half an hour. They’ve been trailing by two since the sixth minute.

Good news is, there is still plenty of time.

Bad news is, Fulham look dangerous every time they go forward.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:32 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

31 min: Fulham have a chance to break on Spurs but Raul Jimenez commits a foul throw...

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:30 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

29 min: Van de Ven is booked. The Dutchman looked to be enraged after leaving Andersen on the ground following an aerial duel.

Matt Verri at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

20:28 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Looked certain to be 3-0 but it's an incredible sliding challenge from Van de Ven to deny Chukwueze. That would have been game over - Spurs look absolutely ragged at the back.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:26 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

26 min: Kudus pokes the ball through to Gray who finds himself with time and space but drags his effort wide.

At the other end, Chukwueze robs Porro, then rounds Vicario but is denied an open goal by a wonderful tackle from Van de Ven.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:24 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

24 min: Good footwork from Kolo Muani wins a throw for Tottenham but Danso’s delivery is dealt with by the Fulham defenders and King wins a free-kick to relieve some pressure for the away side.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:23 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

22 min: Chance for Tottenham to build some momentum following a corner but neither Kudus or Pedro Porro can pick out a team-mate from out wide.

However, Bassey and Andersen fail to deal with a cross and the latter diverts the ball over his own bar.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:20 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

19 min: Bergvall escapes a booking after bringing down Andersen. In fairness, looked to be more a case of the Fulham defender kicking the boot of the Spurs midfielder.

Painful nonetheless.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:17 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

This is some finish by Harry Wilson...

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:16 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

15 min: Fulham have the ball in the net for a third time, but this one does not count as Jimenez’s effort is ruled out for offside against Chukwueze who really should have held his run.

Matt Verri at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

20:14 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Vicario mops up another ball in behind the Spurs defence. This time boots it out of play and there are ironic cheers around the stadium. Terrible mistake for the goal but he's been one of Spurs' best players in recent weeks.

Doesn't deserve all the noise every time he's now touching the ball.

Tottenham 0-2 Fulham

20:11 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

10 min: The pace of Van de Ven bails out Spurs as Chukwueze threatened down the left. Fulham have a corner though which is cleared as far as the Nigerian who then smashes an effort against the post.

Matt Verri at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

20:08 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Loud boos as Spurs kick-off again after that goal. The fans have turned already. Not a clue what Vicario was trying to do leading to that goal. A shocking decision to play the ball down the line.

GOAL! Tottenham 0-2 Fulham | Harry Wilson ‘6

20:07 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

6 min: In the blink of an eye Spurs are two down as Harry Wilson punishes Vicario's poor clearance.

Matt Verri at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

20:06 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

This was supposed to be a turning point for Spurs tonight. Well, the new dawn has suffered a setback inside four minutes. Poor headed clearance from Danso got Fulham on the attack and Tete's deflected strike flies in.

GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 Fulham | Kenny Tete ‘4

20:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

4 min: It’s a nightmare start for Tottenham as Kenny Tete’s deflected effort creeps into the bottom corner.

Matt Verri at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

20:03 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Near enough a front four for Spurs in possession. Udogie is pushing right up on the left wing, with Richarlison fairly narrow alongside Kolo Muani. On the face of it, it's an attacking set-up.

Tottenham 0-0 Fulham

20:02 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

2 min: It’s a 4-4-2 shape from Tottenham with Lucas Bergvall tucking in from the left-hand side. This should allow Destiny Udogie to fly forward and provide the width.

KICK-OFF!

20:00 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

We are underway in this London derby!

Can Tottenham record their first league win in a month, or will the visitors make it four games unbeaten against Spurs?

HERE WE GO!

19:56 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

The teams are out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tonight's London derby gets underway shortly!

As it stands

19:55 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Victory for Tottenham tonight will move them into the top five in the Premier League.

Tottenham vs Fulham live

19:50 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

I must say, that looks to be a very attack minded line-up for Fulham with Alex Iwobi in central midfield alongside Sander Berge.

It’s a role Iwobi is used to with the Nigeria national team.

Meanwhile, Samuel Chukwueze is rewarded for his assist against Sunderland last week with a start tonight.

Kick-off approaching in north London.

A word from Frank

19:25 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Final thoughts from Thomas Frank before kick-off in tonight’s London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Fulham changes

19:20 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Meanwhile, it is just one Fulham change from the side that beat Sunderland 1-0 last weekend with Samuel Chukwueze replacing Kevin.

Sasa Lukic is available again after suspension but is named on the bench.

Matt Verri at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

19:15 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Matt Verri is in position for us at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and has pointed out that Xavi Simons is once again on the bench for Spurs.

Tottenham changes

19:10 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

It is four changes to the Tottenham side who lost 5-3 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Kevin Danso, Joao Palhinha, Destiny Udogie and Mohammed Kudus replace Djed Spence, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr and Cristian Romero - who is suspended tonight

Matt Verri at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

19:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Frank said he'd have no problem starting Gray and Bergvall together in midfield again - he's backed it up. Looks like it could potentially be the same shape as against PSG, with Kudus and Palhinha in for Sarr and Bentancur.

Feels fairly telling that Simons is again on the bench. If Frank doesn't fancy him for this kind of game, when will he?

Fulham team in full

19:00 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Bassey, Andersen, Sessegnon, Berge, Iwobi, King, Chukwueze, Wilson, Jimenez.

Substitutes: Lecomte, Castagne, Cuenca, Lukic, Cairney, Smith Rowe, Adama, Kevin, Kusi-Asare.

Tottenham team in full

18:55 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Thomas Frank ready to unleash young Tottenham stars

18:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Thomas Frank insisted he is ready to unleash Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall in the Premier League.

The teenagers started in midfield for Tottenham on Wednesday night in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain as Frank shuffled his pack.

He opted for a 4-2-2-2 system and Gray and Bergvall both shone in the 5-3 defeat, a match in which Spurs showed far more attacking intent than they have in recent weeks.

The pair combined for the north Londoners' opener, Bergvall releasing Gray down the left wing to stand up a cross for Randal Kolo Muani to nod across the face of goal, and Richarlison was there to provide the finish.

The teenagers have not started together in midfield in the Premier League since the opening weekend of the season against Burnley, but that could soon change.

Tottenham pair hold key to Thomas Frank’s new attacking blueprint

18:30 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

After a 4-1 north London derby defeat to Arsenal, Guglielmo Vicario hit out at the lack of "fight" from the Tottenham players as he said sorry to the fans.

No apologies were required to the supporters in Paris, though the fact Spurs shipped five goals and came away with a far more positive feeling is an indication of just how low the bar was heading into the match.

This 5-3 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain provided more encouraging signs than there have been for many weeks at Spurs. It must be a platform that Thomas Frank and his players now build on.

Silva speaks

18:25 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Marco Silva says he is expecting reaction from Tottenham following their defeat to Arsenal in the north London derby.

Although Spurs haven’t won on home soil since the opening day against Burnley, Silva believes Thomas Frank's side will be more dangerous.

“Two different things,” Silva said. “They have been much stronger away from home than at home, and they want to show a reaction at home.

“Of course, they lost that away game in the North London derby – it’s always very tough to do it. We all know what it means, local derbies are important derbies for any team in this league. And, of course, they want to react at home, with their fans again.

“Our away form has not been so good. We want a reaction from our last away games as well. Of course, both teams, they want to win the game. And let's hope we can.”

Thomas Frank hits back at 'cautious' claims

18:20 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Thomas Frank has insisted he wants Tottenham to play attacking football, hitting back at the suggestion he is a cautious coach.

Pressure on the Dane has grown in recent weeks after lifeless defeats to Arsenal and Chelsea in which his side produced the two lowest xG totals of any Premier League team this season.

The criticism of Frank is that Spurs have approached matches with a lack of ambition, concerned more about the opposition than their own strengths.

More on that here!

(AFP via Getty Images)

Predicted Tottenham XI

18:15 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

With Cristian Romero out, Thomas Frank could look for more ball-playing qualities in midfield and that could see Archie Gray handed a rare league start.

Gray shone against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night and will hope to start, potentially alongside Joao Palhinha after he was rested in midweek.

There could be a refreshed forward line too. Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert all started on the bench against PSG but will hope to come into the side here.

Predicted Tottenham XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Gray; Kudus, Simons, Odobert; Kolo Muani.

The biggest game of Thomas Frank's reign so far

18:10 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

In a week that has brought trips to Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, it is a match at home to Fulham that will be most instructive for Tottenham, writes Matt Verri.

Saturday's game is the biggest of the week and there is a strong argument that it is the biggest of Thomas Frank's reign so far in terms of the wider significance.

Spurs have gone more than three months without winning at home in the Premier League. They are on a run of three wins from 12 matches in all competitions and performances have been a real concern.

There is a sense that patience from the fans, particularly towards the team's lack of creativity and ambition, is at a tipping point. A match at Fulham must bring more excitement and a positive result.

Tottenham vs Fulham prediction

17:50 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Tottenham have struggled at home all season in the Premier League, winning just once in six attempts - and that was on the opening weekend of the season against newly-promoted Burnley.

With that said, Fulham are yet to win away from home and have lost five of their six league matches on the road this season. All signs point towards a share of the spoils.

Draw, 1-1.

Fulham team news: Lukic returns

17:45 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Fulham are boosted by the return of midfielder Sasa Lukic after he missed the win over Sunderland through suspension. Rodrigo Muniz is a long-term absentee and Antonee Robinson is out with a knee injury.

Samuel Chukwueze could be rewarded with a start after claiming the assist for Raul Jimenez’s winner last week, while ex-Arsenal stars Bernd Leno, Alex Iwobi and Emile Smith Rowe are expected to feature.

Tottenham team news: Romero banned

17:40 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Tottenham will be without the suspended Cristian Romero after he picked up his fifth yellow card in the Premier League this season during the north London derby defeat to Arsenal last weekend.

Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert and Destiny Udogie are all pushing to start after coming off the bench against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, while Joao Palhinha could face his former club.
