Tottenham 1-2 Fulham: Guglielmo Vicario booed by home supporters after howler in shambolic first half as Spurs lose to Cottagers
Spurs' poor start to the game was capped off by a calamitous mistake from goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who was promptly subjected to a barrage of boos from his own fans. The Italian's error gifted possession to Harry Wilson, allowing the Fulham midfielder to score a stunning strike into the unguarded net.
The earliest Spurs had conceded two goals in the Premier League history made Vicario's team-mates turn on him, with some players even walking off the field to face their furious fans. Thomas Frank was left "angrily" by this reaction, stating that Spurs fans can't be true supporters if they're booing their team-mates during a game.
Vicario's poor form wasn't an isolated incident, however. The entire Tottenham side looked out of sorts, with Fulham cutting them apart at will in the first half. The visitors' attacking display was truly woeful, with Spurs creating just 0.07xG across the break and not a single shot on target.
Despite showing signs of improvement in the second half, it wasn't enough to salvage the game for Tottenham. Even their lifeline goal, which required a rocket strike from Mohammed Kudus, couldn't change the course of the match.
The loss marks Spurs' 10th home defeat of 2025 and their joint-most home league defeats in a single calendar year (also 1994 and 2003). The team has picked up just 14 points on home soil across the last 12 months, with Fulham's win leaving them two clear of the second-lowest total, West Ham.
Spurs' struggles at home have become a recurring theme under Thomas Frank's management. The team has lost four consecutive home London derbies for the first time in the Premier League (twice vs Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Fulham).
Former Tottenham defender Michael Dawson stated that Spurs need to be realistic about their ambitions, given their current form. "I didn't expect them to finish in the top four this season," he said. "Top six was a more realistic aim with Frank going in."
Fulham's boss Marco Silva praised his team for being clinical and controlled during the first half, which ultimately led to their 2-0 win.

they just got schooled by fulham like a million times! guglielmo vicario needs to get his head back in the game lol i mean cant be easy for him but booing him is way outta line even if he did make that mistake. i feel bad for him 
how can u not even create a shot or somethin?? 
didnt think they could finish top 4 with their current form michael dawson is spot on tho realistic ambitions would be great to see them improve but i guess we gotta be patient 
theyre literally playin like a bunch of zombies out there 
their goalie vicario made this huge mistake & the whole team just kinda fell apart 
esp with the fans turnin on him 
its def not a good look for them... and now they're sayin spurs fans can't be real supporters if dey boo deir own players during a game 
like what's da diff?? its still de same team out dere 
anyway, fulham played em tough & deserved de win 
Spurs are having a major meltdown at home and it's not just about Vicario's mistake 
. Dawson makes some valid points, they should be realistic about their ambitions 
. It's getting to the point where they're more worried about losing than winning 
. And honestly, it's hard to see them making a comeback from this sort of form 
.
oh man, Guglielmo Vicario needs a new job, or at least a new agent 
can't even make it through a game without getting roasted by his own fans. Thomas Frank is like "yo, guys, we got booed by our own team's fans during a game"... that's not how you win friends and influence people 
. And Fulham just ate Spurs for breakfast, must've been a real " Ful-astrophe" 
. Top six is a more achievable goal, not trying to force it into the top four 
... until then, I'll just stick with my prediction that they'll get sacked soon 
.
. and now they're talking about being realistic about their ambitions? yeah, they need to be real, they're not even close to top six 
i mean vicario's howler was a major mistake but you gotta feel for the guy, he got torched by his own fans 
fulham deserved that win tho, silva's givin them clinical lessons all season 
They're still playing in one of the toughest leagues in the world! 
And that Guglielmo Vicario dude made some mistakes, but you can't blame him for everything. He's a human being, after all! 
His teammates should be supporting him, not booing them off the pitch! 
, and btw 0.07xG across the whole game is super laughable 
I don't get why Spurs fans were so mad at Vicario after that one mistake... like, it was just a bad kick 
. And honestly, it's not just Vicario who was out of form, the whole team was struggling 
️. I mean, Fulham played really well and deserved that win 
.
and they're strugglin to pick up points at home 
it's like frank needs to sit down with the squad and figure out what's goin on 
.
. Let's not write them off just yet 
.
. And that reaction from their own fans? Unacceptable
