November 30, (THEWILL) — Samuel Chukwueze played a pivotal role in Fulham’s 2-1 victory over Tottenham on Saturday, providing the assist for the opening goal in a London derby that increased the misery for the home side. The winger’s pass across the edge of the area fell to Kenny Tete in the fourth minute, and his shot deflected off Destiny Udogie to beat Vicario.
Fulham doubled their advantage just two minutes later following a calamitous error from Guglielmo Vicario. The goalkeeper raced out of his penalty area to clear a loose ball but sliced his attempt straight to Josh King, who laid it off for Harry Wilson to curl a sensational finish into an unguarded net from the right-hand touchline.
Chukwueze continued to torment Tottenham before the break, clipping the post and drawing a vital tackle from Micky van de Ven. Thomas Frank’s side, however, improved after the interval. Randal Kolo Muani headed narrowly wide before Mohammed Kudus halved the deficit in the 59th minute with a powerful volley that beat Bernd Leno.
Tottenham pushed for an equaliser, with Raul Jimenez nodding Lucas Bergvall’s glancing header off the line and Kolo Muani finding the side netting with a backheel. Yet their momentum faded, and Fulham held firm to claim all three points.
The final whistle prompted further boos from the home supporters. Fulham moved to within one point of Tottenham following their impressive away performance, while the hosts were left reflecting on another disappointing result at their own stadium.
