Spurs have made their earliest Carabao Cup exit for almost two decades after a painful night at Craven Cottage. Tottenham went down 5-3 in a penalty shootout as they were condemned to their first competitive defeat of the Ange Postecoglou era on Tuesday night, with Davinson Sanchez seeing his spot-kick crucially saved by Marek Rodak.
Postecoglou will face inevitable questions over his team selection after such a positive start to the Premier League campaign, with nine changes made despite a lack of European football as the north Londoners let slip a potentially key chance to end their 15-year trophy drought this term. Richarlison could see his season kick-started though by a first goal in the second half, heading in Ivan Perisic’s cross to cancel a first-half Micky van de Ven own goal - his second in four Tottenham appearances - forced by Tom Cairney’s cross.
Kenny Tete fired home the decisive winning penalty for Fulham, who are into the hat for Wednesday night’s third-round draw. Follow Fulham vs Tottenham reaction live below, with expert analysis from Dan Kilpatrick at Craven Cottage.
