Fulham took the lead early after a VAR check confirmed Harry Wilson’s 9th-minute volley. The goal stood following a brief review, setting the tone for a strong opening from the hosts.
The home side doubled their advantage in the 34th minute when Wilson turned provider, teeing up Alex Iwobi, who rifled a superb right-footed strike from outside the box to beat the goalkeeper.
It was Iwobi’s second goal in as many games, underlining his growing influence in Fulham’s attack.
Tottenham responded in the 66th minute through Richarlison, who headed home from close range after an assist from Archie Gray, but it proved too little, too late.
At the back, Calvin Bassey put in a commanding defensive display, winning key duels and helping Fulham see out the result under late pressure. Samuel Chukwueze came on as a late substitute for Spurs but was unable to change the outcome.
The victory extends Fulham’s positive run at home and highlights another impactful outing from Nigeria’s Premier League contingent.
