Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi found themselves on opposite ends of the spectrum, with Bassey’s errors proving costly for Fulham in the encounter.
Calvin Bassey, a key defender for Fulham, made headlines for all the wrong reasons as his team faced Tottenham away from home.
It was a night to forget for Fulham, as Tottenham capitalized on two critical errors made by the young defender’s uncharacteristic lapses in concentration, securing a convincing 2-0 victory and regaining their top spot in the Premier League.
Tottenham’s success began with Heung-min Son’s first-half strike, which handed the hosts an early lead.
The momentum continued when James Maddison capitalized on yet another error from Bassey, displaying composure as he slotted the ball past Bernd Leno after an assist from Son.
Maddison’s near miss, resulting from yet another Bassey blunder, was only narrowly averted by a brilliant save from Guglielmo Vicario, effectively dashing Fulham’s hopes of a late comeback.
Ange Postecoglou’s team maintained their undefeated status in the league and is now set to face Crystal Palace in another exciting all-London clash on Friday.
Fulham, on the other hand, faces the daunting task of extending their winless streak against London clubs but will look to bounce back when they take on Brighton next Sunday.
Fulham will be keen to rectify the issues that cost them vital three points against Spurs as they continue their campaign.
For Bassey, it’s an opportunity to learn from these mistakes and come back stronger in future matches.
