Dom Smith on Tottenham 1-1 Fulham

Evening Standard

Tottenham lost more ground in the Premier League after they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Fulham.After an even first half, Spurs went ahead against the run of play at the start of the second period when Brennan Johnson volleyed in for his 10th goal of the season.Ange Postecoglou’s team never hit the heights of last weekend’s 4-0 victory at Manchester City and Fulham claimed a deserved leveller through substitute Tom Cairney before he was sent off late on via a VAR review.Spurs dropped to seventh, with Fulham still a point behind in 10th.The hosts were already without seven players and lost Dominic Solanke to illness on the morning of the match, but could have taken the lead inside 60 seconds.Timo Werner latched on to a wayward pass by Calvin Bassey and found Son Heung-min, but his low effort was saved by Bernd Leno.

00:05A 1-1 draw with 10-man Fulham, not the result that Ant Postacoglu was looking for,

00:10especially considering the context of this match, having come into it after the disappointing result in midweek against Roma

00:17when they led 2-1 until stoppage time only to draw 2-2.

00:20And especially considering last weekend they thrashed Manchester City 4-0 in a stunning Premier League victory,

00:27but they couldn't make it back-to-back league wins.

00:30Instead, they were pegged back in the second half by Tom Kearney after Brennan Johnson had opened the scoring with his tenth goal of the season

00:37and then a red card for Kearney on 83 minutes, but Tottenham couldn't take advantage and it ended 1-1.
