Calvin Bassey's double mistake seals Fulham's loss against Tottenham
Posted : 24 October 2023
Tottenham Hotspur clinched a 2-0 victory over Fulham in their English Premier League clash, thanks to a couple of unfortunate errors committed by Calvin Bassey, which marred the Cottagers' performance.
Bassey's mistakes led to both goals, handing the home team a pivotal win and propelling them to the summit of the EPL standings.
In the 36th minute, Bassey's errant pass in a dangerous area gifted possession to alert Spurs, who efficiently capitalized as Heung-min Son calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper.
Despite his left-footed stance, Bassey's unease in playing out from the back persisted, affording the Spurs players the opportunity to exploit his misplaced passes.
This unease ultimately contributed to the second goal, allowing the impressive James Maddison to secure the victory for Tottenham in the 54th minute.
Despite the introduction of Alex Iwobi in the second half with the hope of boosting Fulham's performance, it failed to change the game's course, as the hosts comfortably secured the win.
Notably, Ange Postecoglou achieved a remarkable milestone, accumulating 23 points in his first nine Premier League matches as Tottenham's manager, a historic feat in the league's annals.
With this crucial win, Spurs now occupy the top spot in the EPL standings, holding a two-point lead over Manchester City and Arsenal.
In contrast, Fulham finds themselves in the 13th position, trailing by 12 points.
