Fulham Outclass Tottenham in London Derby
Fulham delivered a commanding performance to defeat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in a London derby. The match, held at Craven Cottage, highlighted the remarkable rise of Fulham this season, as they continue to push for a spot in European competitions.
Few could have predicted at the start of the season that Fulham would enter this fixture as favorites. However, the Cottagers have been one of the standout teams in the league, while Tottenham have struggled to find consistency, languishing in mid-table with little to play for as the season winds down.
Rodrigo Muniz opened the scoring with a clinical finish, setting the tone for the home side. The second goal came courtesy of Sessegnon, who capped off a brilliant team move to double the lead. Despite Tottenham's efforts to mount a comeback, Fulham's defense held firm, and the hosts comfortably secured a 2-0 victory.
