Alex Iwobi scored as Fulham strengthened their push for a European spot with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Stadium of Light.
Fulham took an early lead through Harry Wilson in the seventh minute, setting the tone for the contest. The hosts dominated possession and created several opportunities, keeping Tottenham on the back foot.
Wilson then turned provider, setting up Iwobi for Fulham’s second goal just four minutes after the half-hour mark. The strike highlighted the effectiveness of Marco Silva’s attacking tactics and the fluidity of Fulham’s forward play.
Tottenham pulled a goal back later in the match but were unable to find an equalizer, leaving Fulham to secure all three points. The win keeps Fulham firmly in the race for European qualification, giving them momentum as the season enters its final stretch.

Silva praised his team’s performance, particularly the combination between Wilson and Iwobi, which proved decisive. “We showed character, composure, and teamwork,” Silva said. “It’s a big result for our European ambitions, and the players deserve credit for their effort and focus.”
Fulham now aim to maintain their strong form in the coming fixtures, hoping to convert their recent performances into a top-six finish, while Tottenham look to regroup and respond in their next league matches.
