Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham

in #soccer5 years ago

Harry Winks scored in the dying minutes to give Spurs the 1 goal advantage, that helped them see off Fulham in a dramatic 2-1 victory.
Spurs really took control of the game early on, fast on the break and looking the more attacking side.
Fulham soon seem to flip a switch and turn up the intensity. The pressure they exert soon causes some drama in the Tottenham box, with a goal coming from an unexpected source. Fulham getting the first goal after Fernando Llorente sticks the ball into his own net. An unexpected own goal.
Getting back into the game wouldn't be an easy task for Spurs, as they had already lost Harry Kane to an injury till March and Son is at the Asian Cup till February.
With Spurs trying their best to equalize, Fulham almost doubled their lead close to half time. The keeper saving a fine volleyed shot from Schurrle but the ball bouncing out to Mitrovic, who heads it into the net with ease. The goal is however ruled out by an offside decision.
Spurs start the second half with an unexpected 1 goal deficit and Dele Alli soon restores parity. Getting things started for Spurs just 6 minutes after the start of the second period. Converting a cross from Eriksen with a fine header.
Spurs get a very decent chance in the 82nd minute, after Eriksen curls a beautiful free kick into the box but Llorente heads it far wide from 8 yards. A dreadful miss, Spurs should be in front.
Spurs end up turning the game on it's head, stealing victory from Fulham in the third minute of injury time. Nkoudou playing a fine cross into the box and Harry Winks getting his head to it and burying it into the net.
A wonderful victory for Spurs but it might have come at a cost as Dele Alli was injured in that match. With Son and Kane already out, Tottenham don't seem to be able to afford more injuries
