Tottenham Hotspur’s season went from bad to worse as they fell to a 2-1 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Harry Wilson opened the scoring with a thumping finish, while Alex Iwobi’s long-range stunner put Marco Silva’s side two goals to the good ahead of the interval.
Igor Tudor made a raft of changes in the second half and Tottenham actually fared a lot better, pulling one back through Richarlison.
However, it wasn’t enough as the home side saw off the game to complete the league double over Tottenham.
And now, two damning stats have emerged that could rub salt into the wounds of the Tottenham faithful.
Igor Tudor’s nightmare Tottenham start
After losing 4-1 to Arsenal in the North London derby, Igor Tudor claimed the Tottenham job was much harder than expected as they dropped to 16th in the Premier League.
Against Fulham, a lot of his Tottenham players looked like they lacked fight, particularly in the first half.

The Croatian carved out a bit of unwanted history as he became the first Tottenham manager since Martin Jol in 2004 to lose each of his first two Premier League games in charge of the club.
Spurs remain the only team winless in the Premier League in 2026. In fact, they have actually gone ten games in the competition without a win for the first time since 1994 when Ossie Ardiles was their manager.
Despite signing the likes of Jurgen Klinsmann and Ilie Dumitrescu, the North London outfit were nearly relegated that year but managed to survive as they stumbled to a 15th-place finish.
How Tottenham’s rivals fared this week
Fulham fans were heard chanting ‘that’s why you’re going down’ after Tottenham went 2-0 down, which is a sign that they are well and truly fighting to secure their Premier League status.
As far as the relegation battle is concerned, the silver lining is that both West Ham United and Nottingham Forest suffered defeats, which bodes well for Tottenham.

Liverpool secured a 5-2 win against West Ham at Anfield yesterday, while Brighton returned to winning ways with a 2-1 success against Vitor Pereira’s side.
Tudor has deployed two different formations so far at Tottenham and has suggested that playing style doesn’t matter as long as they can get points on the board.
It sounds good on paper, but he needs to start getting results immediately as relegation – which was once seen as a distant possibility – is actually slowly but steadily becoming a mathematical reality at N17.
