Tottenham vs Fulham

Report and player ratings from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after Spurs move up to second in the Premier League table. Soccer Football - Premier League ...

Still got on the scoresheet, though, to give Spurs a nervy finish. Not entirely his fault due to wave after wave of Spurs attack. Not perfect, giving the ball away when Spurs almost scored a second, but the type of defensive midfielder Fulham need. Joao Palhinha: Doesn’t shy away from getting stuck in and Fulham will need that in their bid to stay up. Tim Ream: Huge first-half block to deny Son, and denied Kane as Spurs looked to extend their lead in the second half. Tosin Adarabioyo: A towering presence at the back and did his best to quell Spurs’ front three of Kane, Son and Richarlison. Bernd Leno: Got down to just about keep out Kane’s effort but couldn’t keep Hojbjerg’s effort out. Richarlison: First start for Spurs, and was lively from the off, doing brilliantly to set up Son for a decent opportunity 22 minutes in. Got the assist for Kane’s goal, capping off a fine performance, and almost had another before Richarlison’s goal was ruled out for offside. Cristian Romero: Picked up a customary yellow card for a heavy challenge on Pereira. Then made a flying stop to keep out Mitrovic’s deflected effort – make that two deflected Mitrovic strikes, the second in the 89th minute. It was a bolt from the blue, but Spurs held on.

Tottenham vs Fulham recap: Spurs got goals from Harry Kane and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as Antonio Conte's side extended its unbeaten start to six games.

Fulham were busy late in the transfer window as Willian and Layvin Kurzawa will be key additions to their squad. Eric Dier is having a decent start to the season and has stepped up with Cristian Romero being out injured in recent weeks. Sure, there will be some assists to go around for corner kicks and free kicks delivered to his forehead, but most of Fulham’s attack consists of Mitrovic going one on one (or two or three), trying to create a few inches of space to unleash a heavy strike that’s only going in if it’s placed absolutely perfectly in the bottom corner. They look the best of the new boys and they already have eight points on the board this season. No longer forced to carry a relegation-threatened side as the main striker, the Brazilian has injected energy and intensity into a side which sometimes lacked those key intangibles in the past. The second goal came a bit later (the 75th) than Conte would have liked, but it proved vital as Aleksandar Mitrovic terrorized Cristian Romero in the final 15 minutes, scoring once and so nearly leveling the score at 2-2.

There was a very good chance for Mitro to equalise but I have to be honest, Tottenham deserved the three points." "When he needs to make a statement in a game, he is always there," added Silva. "I probably repeat the same thing every week," he added with a smile. Indeed, the shot-stopping is only one part of his offering. They give us a lot of quality and a lot of danger for the opponent. Richarlison held his head in his hands, but only for a second. Richarlison, the ultimate Conte player, will fight to make sure of it. "If someone thinks that we cancelled everything and we are at the same level of the other top teams, I think this is not realistic. "Now I think we are doing good things, but it's really soon to give a realistic judgement in my opinion. We scored, but the goals were disallowed and we hit the bar.
