Fulham earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Tottenham
Tottenham's inconsistent start to the season continued as they were held by Fulham, missing the chance to close the gap to the top four.
Fulham earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Tottenham in a dramatic Premier League clash that saw Tom Cairney score a spectacular equalizer before being sent off. The game showcased moments of brilliance and controversy, with both teams battling for crucial points.
Tottenham took the lead in the 54th minute when Brennan Johnson smashed home his sixth league goal of the season. Johnson latched onto a precise cross from Timo Werner at the far post, unleashing a powerful strike that left Bernd Leno with no chance. Fulham refused to back down and equalized 13 minutes later through substitute Tom Cairney. The midfielder, fresh off the bench, curled a stunning left-footed shot beyond Fraser Forster, silencing the home crowd. However, Cairney’s night turned sour when a tackle on Dejan Kulusevski saw his yellow card upgraded to red after a VAR review. The draw lifted Tottenham to seventh in the table, while Fulham moved up to 10th.
