Tottenham came down from Thursday’s Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar with a bump as they were beaten 2-0 by Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Rogrigo Muniz’s 78th-minute strike put the hosts ahead and substitute Ryan Sessegnon scored a beauty within two minutes of his introduction against his former club.
The result condemned Spurs to a 15th defeat in the Premier League this season.
Here’s how we rated the visiting players...
Guglielmo Vicario 5
Got down to keep out Timothy Castagne’s tame effort in the first half but was well beaten by both goals. Flapped at crosses when he might have caught.
Djed Spence 6
Coped well enough with William and Antonee Robinson – Fulham’s danger-men down their left.
Cristian Romero 7
Added intensity to a flat game by snapping into tackles and oozed confidence on the ball.
Ben Davies 4
Outmuscled by Sessegnon for the second goal, marring an otherwise solid display. Made a number of blocks and was good in the air in both boxes.
Destiny Udogie 6
Produced a couple of nice touches and runs but still appears to be working his way back to his dynamic best.
Hooked at half-time for the second league game running after another lax display. At some point, Postecoglou will presumably stop picking him.
Rodrigo Bentancur 5
Tidy but ineffective in an unfamiliar No10 role, failing to offer the creative spark that Spurs plainly needed.
Archie Gray 5
Occasionally sloppy in his first midfield start for Spurs. Made an important block to deny Alex Iwobi late in the first half
Brennan Johnson 4
Hard to remember a meaningful contribution from the winger in a flat first half and he was replaced by Heung-min Son at the interval.
Mathys Tel 5
Grew in confidence and drew a save from Bernd Leno with a curling shot in the second half.
Dominic Solanke 5
Squandered a huge chance when he volleyed over from six yards out, with Leno scrabbling to get back on his feet – one of three big openings which went begging.
Subs
Lucas Bergvall (Bissouma 46’) 6
Spurs immediately improved after his introduction and the energetic Swede created a big chance for Solanke.
Heung-min Son (Johnson 46’) 6
Added some intensity to Spurs front line and created a late opening for Solanke.
James Maddison (Romero 67’) 5
Made a brilliant chance for Solanke with his first touch, a deft chest-down into the striker’s path, but quickly faded.
Wilson Odobert (Tel 77’) 4
Lost possession within seconds his introduction, leading to Muniz’s goal.
Dane Scarlett (Bentancur 86’) 5
Limited time to make an impact, with the visitors chasing the game.
Not used: Kinsky, Sarr, Porro, van de Ven.
