Tottenham Hotspur’s quest for a top-four finish hit a stumbling block with a shocking 3-0 defeat to Fulham on Saturday evening.
The Lilywhites’ hopes were dashed by a brace from Rodrigo Muniz and a goal from Sasa Lukic, leaving them unable to muster a response of their own.
Despite the heroic efforts of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who has been in stellar form this season, the Italian found himself unable to thwart each of Fulham’s relentless attacks.
Despite making four saves, Vicario was left exposed as Fulham’s forwards continuously breached the Tottenham defence, peppering the goal with shots throughout the game.
According to reports from Football London, Vicario was left fuming at his defence as Fulham attackers exploited the defensive in particularly his left side, with Alex Iwobi and Timothy Castagne particularly menacing down the right flank.
Both Destiny Udogie and Radu Dragusin had a game to forget with a below par performance which Fulham successfully exploited.
The relentless onslaught saw the home side register a total of 16 shots, with seven on target, further highlighting Tottenham’s defensive struggles.
Tottenham will have to get back to winning ways as they face Luton next after the international break.
Ange’s side can not afford any more slip-ups if they want to keep their hopes for a top 4 finish alive.
