Tottenham vs Fulham - Chukwueze shows manager why he needs to start after helping Cottager defeat Spurs

Ahead of the clash, Fulham manager Marko Silva urged Samuel Chukwueze to be more consistent with his performance after providing the winning goal against Sunderland.

He did not disappoint and proved to the manager that he is ready to take a starting role in the team, having helped Fulham secure a 2-1 victory over Spurs.

Tottenham made four changes from the side that lost 5-3 to Paris St-Germain in the Champions League, as reported by BBC.

Kevin Danso, Joao Palhinha, Destiny Udogie and Mohammed Kudus replace Djed Spence, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr and Cristian Romero, who is suspended today.

Just one Fulham change from the side who beat Sunderland 1-0, with Chukwueze replacing Kevin. Chukwueze joins his countrymen Bassey and Iwobi in the starting lineup.

Within the first six minutes of the start of the game, Tottenham conceded two goals. The first goal came from a brilliant pass from Chukwueze, which Kenny Tete hit first time and scored.

Spurs were stunned with the second goal after Guglielmo Vicario rushed out of his goal to clear the ball, which went straight to Harry Wilson and he finished brilliantly from about 25 yards.

In the second half, Tottenham got a goal back from Mohamed Kudus’ thunderous strike in the box as they tried to find their way back into the game.

The Nigerian also had some chances to get his name on the scoresheet but was unable to convert them. He was later substituted out in the 76th minute.

Fulham held on until the final whistle and secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Spurs at the London Stadium, with Chukwueze orchestrating the win.
