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

Dive into Coral’s 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 got off to a flying start at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, stunning the home side with two quick goals early on. Kenny Tete opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a well-taken effort assisted by Samuel Chukwueze, and just two minutes later Harry Wilson doubled the lead in the 6th minute, thanks to a neat pass from Joshua King. Tottenham looked shell-shocked but managed to steady themselves, though yellow cards for Micky van de Ven in the 30th minute and Destiny Udogie in the 49th added to their frustrations as Fulham held firm through the first half.

The second half saw Tottenham push back, and they pulled one back in the 59th minute when Mohammed Kudus scored, assisted by Lucas Bergvall, giving the home fans some hope. Spurs made a triple substitution right after at the 60th minute, with X. Simons, Wilson Odobert, and Rodrigo Bentancur coming on for Richarlison, Archie Gray, and João Palhinha respectively, trying to inject fresh energy. Fulham responded with changes of their own later on, but despite a late yellow for Randal Kolo Muani in the 90+4th minute and one for Bernd Leno in the 90+1st, Tottenham couldn’t find an equaliser, and Fulham held on for a deserved 2-1 victory.

Tottenham dominated possession with 63% compared to Fulham’s 37%, which showed in their eight corners against Fulham’s two, but they couldn’t convert that control into enough clear chances to turn the game around. Successful dribbles were almost even at 47 for Spurs and 50 for Fulham, highlighting how the visitors were effective on the break, while assists stood at one for Tottenham and two for Fulham, reflecting those early goals. The card count saw Tottenham pick up three yellows and Fulham two, with no reds, and both sides used most of their substitutions—five for Spurs and four for Fulham—which helped manage fatigue but didn’t shift the momentum enough for the hosts.

In terms of penalties and injury-time goals, there were none recorded for either side, keeping the drama to open play. Tottenham’s triple change at 60 minutes, bringing on X. Simons for Richarlison, Wilson Odobert for Archie Gray, and Rodrigo Bentancur for João Palhinha, aimed to spark a comeback, followed by Pape Matar Sarr replacing Lucas Bergvall at 77 minutes and Mathys Tel coming on for Destiny Udogie at 85 minutes. Fulham’s adjustments, like Sasa Lukic for Harry Wilson and Emile Smith Rowe for Joshua King at 68 minutes, then Kevin for Samuel Chukwueze at 81 minutes and Timothy Castagne for Alex Iwobi at 87 minutes, helped them see out the win.

The game’s decisive moments came right at the start, with Kenny Tete’s goal in the 4th minute, assisted by Samuel Chukwueze, and Harry Wilson’s strike just two minutes later in the 6th, assisted by Joshua King, putting Fulham in a commanding position they never relinquished. Tottenham’s response arrived in the 59th minute through Mohammed Kudus, with Lucas Bergvall providing the assist, which briefly ignited hopes of a fightback. Key turning points included the hosts’ triple substitution at 60 minutes to chase the game, and yellow cards like Raúl Jiménez’s in the 78th minute for Fulham and Randal Kolo Muani’s late in stoppage time for Spurs, but no red cards or penalties altered the flow significantly.

Tottenham Hotspur lined up in a 4-2-2-2 formation, with a focus on width and attacking midfield partnerships that aimed to stretch Fulham’s defence. Standout roles included the central defensive pairing holding the backline, while the two forwards looked to link up with creative players behind them for quick transitions.

Fulham set up in a 4-2-3-1 shape, emphasising a solid midfield base with three attacking midfielders supporting the lone striker to exploit counters. Key partnerships shone in the wide areas, where wingers combined effectively with full-backs to create those early scoring opportunities.

Harry Wilson earned Man of the Match honours for his early goal and overall influence in Fulham’s attack, helping set the tone for their victory. He was substituted off at 68 minutes for Sasa Lukic, but his impact in the opening stages proved crucial.
