Fulham Vs Tottenham: Tudor slams referee and accuses Jimenez of 'cheating'
Tudor left nobody in doubt over his view of Fulham’s opening goal, calling the official a "home team referee" and saying the referee "doesn't understand football. " He accused Raúl Jiménez of "cheating" by pushing Radu Dragusin before Harry Wilson volleyed the opening goal and repeated his accusation that the referee was a "home team referee" twice. Tudor said the decision changed the match and that the lack of consistent calls — pointing to a similar incident last week that saw Randal Kolo Muani’s goal ruled out for a push on Gabriel — was an "incredible mistake. " He said the contact was so clear that "ninety-nine of 100 people will say it's a foul. " Tudor added he was too upset to speak to referee Thomas Bramall about the incident.
Tudor lays out Spurs' problems: attack, midfield, defence and 'brain'
Describing the situation as "amazing, " Tudor said Tottenham face three major problems: the attack, the midfield and the defence. He insisted his 4-4-2 selection was not the issue — "It's not about systems at the moment" — but accused players of lacking "brain, " saying, "They arrive before us. They predict and we are always late on everything. That's the problem. " The defeat at Fulham was Spurs’ fourth league loss in a row and left them 16th in the Premier League, four points above the relegation zone.
Form slide: winless run and historic context
The loss extended a long run of poor results: it was Tottenham’s 10th league game without a win and their worst sequence in 32 years, mirroring a similar streak under Ossie Ardiles in 1994. Club history underlines the alarm — Tottenham have been a top‑flight side since 1977-78 and only rarely faced serious danger. Even after a season in which they finished 17th in 2024-25, the club had still finished 13 points clear of 18th‑placed Leicester the following year, with the previous manager focusing on the Europa League late in that season, a competition the club went on to win.
What went wrong on the pitch
Fulham took the lead after the contested setup for Harry Wilson’s volley; Fulham also scored an "incredible Iwobi goal" that helped secure the win. Tottenham’s only effort on target produced their lone goal — a header from Richarlison. The visitors’ lack of chances and defensive lapses were flagged by Tudor and by midfielders after the match.
Voices from the dressing rooms
Spurs midfielder Yves Bissouma said: "We lost again. It is not easy, especially for us, for the club. It is not good for everyone. We know this is a big emergency. We need to change a lot of things, we need to put effort into the game to try and win games. At the moment, it is just hard. " A former Premier League winner warned that fans should hear alarm bells and said the club looked in real danger of going down. Fulham manager Marco Silva described the scoreline as not reflecting his side’s superiority — "The amount of chances we created, the score doesn't reflect our superiority" — and praised centre-back Issa Diop, a late call-up after Joachim Andersen was ruled out with illness. Silva noted Diop "was at home last night, not even in the hotel. But he's a top professional. "
Match coverage had been interrupted for some fans by the unavailable live blog, but the on-field facts were clear: a 2-1 Fulham win, a disputed early goal after contact on Radu Dragusin, and a deflated Tottenham camp wrestling with tactical, technical and mental questions.
