The full-time whistle has sounded in the Premier League clash between Fulham and Tottenham, and it’s time for our player ratings.
Tottenham’s winless run in the Premier League in 2026 continues after Fulham claimed a 2-1 victory over Igor Tudor’s side at Craven Cottage, thanks to goals from Wilson and Iwobi.
Here’s how the individual players performed:
Guglielmo Vicario – The Italian was rarely tested after the break. However, in the opening 45 minutes he was comfortably beaten by strikes from Wilson and Iwobi. 5
Pedro Porro – Back in the starting XI, the full-back tried to ignite Spurs’ attacks in the first half with crosses and forward passes, but nothing produced a goal. After the interval, Fulham repeatedly got in behind him with tidy one-twos. 5
Radu Drăgușin – The centre-back had plenty to deal with as Fulham looked dangerous going forward. He felt he was pushed for the opener, but the goal stood. In the second half he was often dragged out of position into midfield and wide areas. 4
Micky van de Ven – A disappointing display from the Dutchman, who frequently surrendered possession and was caught ball-watching for Fulham’s second, failing to close down Iwobi. He was also caught out of position several times after the break. 4
Archie Gray – A mixed showing. He struggled to contain Harry Wilson down Fulham’s right, giving the winger too much space when pushing forward. However, he assisted Richarlison’s goal in the second half after a neat link-up with Tel following his overlap. 6
João Palhinha – Often had to cover for Van de Ven when the defender ventured forward. He also had a first-half effort deflected behind for a corner. After the break he focused on his defensive duties, sweeping up when needed. 5
Yves Bissouma – Played in a more advanced role, operating as the eight and helping keep play ticking in the first half. After the break the shape became more fluid, and he frequently covered the left when Gray pushed on. 6
Conor Gallagher – A largely ineffective outing, offering little impact in attack. Substituted on the hour mark. 3
Xavi Simons – The Dutchman never found his rhythm and created very little for Tottenham. Replaced by Mathys Tel in the second half. 3
Dominic Solanke – Led the line but saw few opportunities. Tried to make things happen early on, but without success. 5
Randal Kolo Muani – Quiet first half, including several cheap giveaways. Continued to run the channels but never had a clear-cut chance. Replaced by Richarlison. 4
Substitutes
Pape Matar Sarr – Came on for Gallagher and slotted straight into midfield as Tudor searched for a response. 6
Richarlison – Showed striker’s instinct, ghosting to the back post to head into an empty net and give Spurs hope. 8
Mathys Tel – Lively cameo off the bench, direct in his play and providing much-needed threat on the left. Combined well with Gray for Spurs’ goal. 7
Souza – Replaced Bissouma in the final ten minutes. N/A
Kevin Danso – Came on for Drăgușin in the final five minutes, marking his return from injury. N/A
