Tottenham Held to 1-1 Draw by Fulham Despite Late Red Card
Ange Postecoglou's Spurs drop to seventh in the Premier League after a frustrating performance against a resilient Fulham side.
- Brennan Johnson scored his 10th goal of the season to give Tottenham the lead in the 54th minute, assisted by Timo Werner's cross.
- Fulham equalized through substitute Tom Cairney's 67th-minute strike, but Cairney was later sent off after a VAR-reviewed red card for a dangerous tackle on Dejan Kulusevski.
- Tottenham struggled with injuries and absences, including Dominic Solanke's illness, forcing tactical adjustments that hampered their attacking fluency.
- Fraser Forster, stepping in for the injured Guglielmo Vicario, delivered a standout performance with several key saves to deny Fulham further goals.
- The draw continues Tottenham's inconsistent form, following a dominant 4-0 win over Manchester City last week, and raises questions about their ability to maintain a top-four challenge.
