Fulham eliminated Tottenham Hotspur in a penalty shootout and eliminated another title option for the ‘Spurs’, who will be banking on everything in the Premier League and FA Cup so that the season will not remain blank, as it has been since 2008.
A mistake by Colombian Davinson Sánchez in the penalty shootout handed Ange Postecoglou’s men their first defeat of the season, missing the starting eleven at Craven Cottage and paying for it.
Fulham always pulled it out, taking the lead thanks to a great play by Tom Cariney on the wing who pushed his own net Micky Van de Ven, who hasn’t raised his head since his arrival in London.
Fulham had chances to extend their lead, notably through the head of Brazilian Rodrigo Muñiz, who had two shots, one going close to the post and another that Fraser Forster got on the goal line, but Tottenham already tied. in the second part.
The controversial Richarlison scored his fourth goal in a ‘Spurs’ shirt after a superb cross from Ivan Perisic hit the far post. The Brazilian, who has not scored since April, chipped the ball and Tottenham suffered to reach penalties.
There, there were no misses until Davinson ran into Marek Rodak. The lone mistake in a shootout where Kenny Teté sealed Marco Silva’s pass in the third round of the League Cup.
Joy in west London and disappointment for those in the north, who see their title options reduced this season and have to wait for a Premiership miracle or an FA Cup they haven’t won since 1991
