March 16, (THEWILL) – Fulham boosted their European qualification hopes with a 2-0 Premier League victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
The London derby remained goalless until the final stages when substitutes Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon found the net, delivering three points for Marco Silva’s team.
The match offered minimal goalmouth action throughout the opening hour, with neither side creating meaningful opportunities.
Dominic Solanke missed from close range midway through the second half, followed by Willian curling an effort just wide of the right-hand post as Fulham began to establish control.
Muniz broke the deadlock with a clinical first-time finish after coming off the bench, providing the crucial breakthrough.
Fellow substitute Sessegnon doubled the advantage with a sublime curling effort just 57 seconds after his introduction, ending any hopes of a Tottenham comeback and confirming the result.
The victory represented a significant milestone for manager Marco Silva, who celebrated his 200th EPL match with a triumph.
Fulham have now gone unbeaten against Tottenham in three consecutive League matches for the first time since 2009, demonstrating their improvement under the Portuguese coach.
Fulham climb to the eighth position in the standings, sitting just four points away from the UEFA Champions League places.
Their European ambitions remain viable with this result, while Tottenham missed an opportunity to climb further away from the basement places, continuing their inconsistent form in 2025.
