Tottenham’s relegation fears deepened after a 2-1 defeat at Fulham equalled their longest Premier League winless run.
Spurs substitute Richarlison gave the visitors hope of a second-half comeback, but first-half goals from Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi meant Tottenham are now without victory in 10 top-flight games.
Spurs, who are winless in 2026, remain 16th and just four points above the drop zone with 10 games left.
Spurs’ loss in west London highlights the huge job new head coach Igor Tudor has on his hands as he became just the second Tottenham boss to lose his first two Premier League games in charge.

But Fulham are heading in the opposite direction under Marco Silva, with the Cottagers firmly in the hunt for a European spot after back-to-back wins put them ninth.

Tudor went 4-4-2 in west London, but Fulham immediately preyed on Tottenham’s vulnerability as Wilson struck a seventh-minute opener, which was Spurs’ only shot on target of the game.”

Tottenham’s nightmare first half, in which they failed to have a shot on target, worsened when Iwobi hit a superb 34th-minute goal as he arrowed a ball from distance into the bottom far corner off the post.
Spurs substitutes Mathys Tel and Richarlison sparked a second-half improvement from Tudor’s side as the former set Archie Gray up for his cross that led to Richarlison’s goal.
But Tottenham’s wretched form continues, having now won only two of their last 19 Premier League matches.
