Spurs have drawn 1-1 with Fulham in the Premier League.

After disappointing in the Europa League midweek, Tottenham yet again flattered to deceive against Marco Silva’s side.

After a rather uneventful opening 45 minutes, Brennan Johnson would spring into life in the second half, nestling home the opening goal in the 54th minute.

Spurs, however, would soon let their lead slip with the Cottagers bagging a deserved equaliser through Tom Cairney.

The Fulham midfielder however would soon turn from hero to zero, receiving a straight red late on – Spurs, though, would not take advantage of the sending-off.

There were unsurprisingly a number of poor displays at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and The Spurs News ranks those performances below.

Fraser Forster – 8

The veteran keeper made a number of quality saves and was key in keeping Tottenham in the game at the start of the second half. His fingertip save from Alex Iwobi’s shot was a particular highlight of his game.

Pedro Porro – 6

Had some joy going forward but he struggled defensively against the likes of Reiss Nelson and Iwobi.

Radu Dragusin – 6

Dragusin made some good clearances, but he struggled to deal with Fulham’s fast transitions. Spurs need Micky van de Ven back asap.

Ben Davies – 7

The Welshman made a number of crucial blocks at the heart of the Tottenham defence, once again showing his reliability when called upon.

Destiny Udogie – 6

The Italian was bright in the opening stages of the game but he also struggled up against Fulham’s widemen.

Yves Bissouma – 5

After being rested midweek, it was a surprise to see Bissouma so lackluster. The midfielder failed to progress the ball through the thirds – making no real impact on the game.

Pape Matar Sarr – 6

Sarr was his usual energetic self but failed to make a meaningful impact in the final third.

James Maddison – 6

In what was a relatively quiet afternoon for the midfielder, Maddison’s main moment of the game came in the first-half when his clever free-kick nestled off the post.

Brennan Johnson – 6

Despite being very quiet up until his goal, Johnson once again stepped up when Spurs needed him most – latching onto the end of Werner’s cross to tap home.

Heung-min Son – 5

Seemed slightly off the pace, missing two chances early on. The South Korean struggled with his back-to-goal, with Solanke’s presence up top being a huge miss.

Timo Werner – 6

Werner was a surprise inclusion in the Spurs lineup, but he provided when needed for the Lilywhites. The German set up the opener with his beautifully curled cross finding Johnson at the back stick.

Subs:

Dejan Kulusevski – 6

Lucas Bergvall – 5

Archie Gray – 5

Will Lankshear – 5
