Fulham came out on top with a commanding 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, showcasing their attacking efficiency while keeping their London rivals at bay. Despite a close expected goals (xG) tally (Fulham 1.0 – Spurs 1.1), it was Fulham’s ability to convert key moments that made the difference. Late goals from Rodrigo Muniz (78’) and Ryan Sessegnon (87’) sealed the win, as Tottenham lacked the cutting edge to respond.

Match Momentum

The xG graph tells the story of a game that took time to ignite. Neither team generated much threat early on, with the momentum graph staying relatively flat until the second half. Spurs saw a brief spell of attacking pressure around the hour mark, but Fulham’s clinical finishing in the final stretch proved decisive.

Shot Analysis – Clinical Fulham vs. Wasteful Spurs

Looking at the shot maps, Fulham’s finishing made all the difference. They took 12 shots with 4 on target, converting 2 into goals. Their best opportunities came inside the box, reflecting smart attacking movement.

Spurs, on the other hand, managed 10 shots but failed to find the net despite an xG of 1.1. Their shot-to-goal map highlights wasted opportunities, as none of their four on-target efforts troubled the scoreboard.

Possession & Passing – Fulham’s Organized Play vs. Spurs’ Disjointed Attack

The pass maps reveal contrasting tactical approaches. Fulham played with balance, moving the ball through midfield with Smith Rowe and Andreas Pereira linking play, while their wingers stretched the pitch.

Tottenham had possession spells (47% overall) but struggled to progress the ball efficiently. Their pass map shows a heavy reliance on central buildup, lacking the width and direct play needed to unlock Fulham’s defense.

Defensive Solidity & Spurs’ Inefficiency

Fulham’s defensive effort was key, blocking 6 shots and limiting Spurs to speculative efforts. Tottenham had more progressive runs (21 to Fulham’s 22), but a lack of quality in the final third left them frustrated. Fulham, meanwhile, created high-percentage chances and took full advantage.

A deserved win for Fulham, who were clinical and organized, while Tottenham will rue their missed opportunities. The result keeps Fulham’s momentum strong, while Spurs will need to rediscover their attacking spark if they want to stay in the fight for European spots.
