Fulham Vs Tottenham: Tudor lashes out after 2-1 defeat as Spurs slide toward crisis

Tottenham's interim manager Igor Tudor unleashed a string of accusations after the 2-1 loss at Fulham, saying the opening goal involved cheating and that the referee was a "home team referee" — comments that landed as Spurs slid further into a season-long struggle in the Premier League. The fulham vs tottenham result leaves Tottenham deeper in trouble, with the club four points above the relegation zone and enduring a prolonged run without victory.

Fulham Vs Tottenham: Tudor blasts 'home referee' and 'cheating' claim

Tudor, the 47-year-old Croatian interim manager, said he believed Raúl Jiménez shoved Radu Dragusin before Harry Wilson volleyed Fulham's opener, calling it cheating and insisting the contact deserved a foul. He repeated that Thomas Bramall was a "home team referee" twice and said the decision "doesn't understand football. " Tudor also referenced a similar incident last week when Randal Kolo Muani had a goal ruled out for a push on Gabriel, calling that earlier ruling an "incredible mistake. " He said the lack of consistency — and the decision to allow Fulham's goal — changed the match.

Spurs' form and standings: fourth straight league defeat and ten games without a win

The 2-1 loss at Fulham was Spurs' fourth league defeat in a row and extends a winless league run to 10 games, the club's worst streak in 32 years since a similar run under Ossie Ardiles in 1994. Tottenham sit 16th in the Premier League, four points clear of the relegation zone. 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. " Former Premier League winner Chris Sutton reacted to that interview by saying alarm bells were ringing for Spurs and that "they are in real danger of going down. "

Tudor's assessment: attack, midfield, defence and 'brain'

Tudor described the situation as "amazing, " listing three major problems — the attack, the midfield and the defence — and saying players were "always late on everything. " He insisted his choice of a 4-4-2 formation was not the issue and accused his squad of lacking "brain, " saying opponents "arrive before us" and that Tottenham lack the quality to score, the running in midfield and the resilience at the back. He said he was too upset to speak to referee Thomas Bramall after the opening incident.

Fulham reaction and unexpected defender call-up

Fulham manager Marco Silva was delighted with the win and said the score did not reflect his side's superiority. The Cottagers, described as having eyes on Europe, threatened to increase their tally in the match while Spurs managed only one shot on target — a header from Richarlison that produced their solitary goal. Silva singled out Issa Diop for praise after the centre-back was a late call-up when Joachim Andersen was ruled out with illness; Silva noted Diop "was at home last night, not even in the hotel, " and called him "a top professional.
