Tottenham's Premier League survival hopes took a severe blow as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Fulham, extending their winless run to 10 matches. Interim head coach Igor Tudor switched to a back four formation but watched his side concede twice in the first half. Harry Wilson opened the scoring in the seventh minute, with Alex Iwobi doubling Fulham's lead with a stunning long-range strike.

Spurs were furious about a non-call on Raúl Jiménez's challenge on Radu Dragusin during Wilson's goal, drawing comparisons to a similar incident involving Randal Kolo Muani last week. Despite Richarlison's header reducing the deficit in the 65th minute, Tottenham couldn't find an equalizer. The loss leaves them just four points above the relegation zone in 16th place.

The defeat marks Tottenham's fourth consecutive Premier League loss under Tudor, raising serious questions about their top-flight status. With crucial fixtures ahead, Spurs must quickly rediscover their form to avoid a historic relegation battle. The London club's struggles have transformed what seemed an unthinkable scenario into a genuine crisis.
