Muniz and Sessegnon Seal Fulham’s Win Over Spurs
Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon struck late to inject excitement into an otherwise uneventful London derby, securing Fulham’s victory over Tottenham.
The first half saw little action, with Fulham’s Timothy Castagne producing the only shot on target. The next effort came in the 65th minute from Spurs’ Ben Davies.
Tottenham appeared poised to take control in the second half, but Dominic Solanke squandered three chances, including a glaring miss from five yards with the goal wide open.
Muniz, who netted twice in Fulham’s 3-0 win over Spurs last season, broke the deadlock in the 75th minute with a composed side-footed finish.
Spurs pushed for an equalizer but left themselves exposed at the back, allowing former Tottenham defender Sessegnon to curl in Fulham’s second goal.
The win lifts Fulham to eighth in the table, just four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, while Tottenham remain in 13th after another disappointing result for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Silva Marks Milestone as Fulham Keep European Hopes Alive
In his 200th game as a Premier League manager, Marco Silva wouldn't have been pleased with Fulham’s sluggish display for the first 75 minutes.
Lacking creativity and urgency, the hosts struggled to make an impact—until one decisive moment shifted the game. A well-executed high press won possession, leading to Rodrigo Muniz’s composed finish to break the deadlock.
The goal injected confidence into Fulham, who held firm as Spurs searched for an equalizer. Ryan Sessegnon sealed the victory against his former club, showing determination to latch onto a long ball, hold off Ben Davies, and find the bottom corner.
This win marks Fulham’s first back-to-back home league victories over Tottenham since the Chris Coleman era in 2004-05 and 2005-06.
Having never finished higher than seventh—achieved in 2008-09—the Cottagers are firmly in the race to surpass that mark. With nine games left, the dream of European football in 2025-26 remains within reach.
