Wilson can go long where Fulham have now been able to have a 5v4 on Spurs due to the overaggressive nature of Spurs' press. Fulham win a second ball very easy and from this attack they score.

Build up to Fulham's first goal looks really bad from a Spurs' pov.

Initial press seems okay, force Fulham wide but then look at the positioning of Kolo Muani and Kudus. Who are they marking or pressing? What purpose are they holding? 1/2

Watching Miley deal with this situation so calmly just shows his value. One of our smartest players and personally I’m having him in our best midfield three currently. #NUFC

Personally I’m not fully on the Ramsdale train, I do still see the value of Pope but it was nice to have our +1 in build up have the confidence to try passes like these. #NUFC

A simple up, back and through pattern and we could exploit this space, Tonali did in the first half and he got a shot off from it, then never to be seen again. So annoying, we just needed a bit more settled possession. 8/ #NUFC

The space between the players, it's too wide. I understand it makes us harder to press but it also makes it harder for us to build out. Very often leads to us going long and rely on second balls to progress play, it's not a reliable way to build out and we need more solutions in this phase. #NUFC 6/

A lot of the initial pressure came from Bruno or Tonali, trying to block off them central lanes, we just didn't want them to move centrally. Which usually leads to the opposition moving the ball wide. Pressing was a really positive takeaway for me that. 2/ #NUFC
