Fulham were not to be outdone. They responded with two consecutive shots from Joao Palhinha and Carlos Vinicius, but the goals were not forthcoming for the visitors.

Tottenham players organized a siege during a build-up situation of the opponent. The ball fell to Maddison and this midfielder assisted Son Heung-min to score.

Tottenham's second goal came in a similar situation. In the 54th minute, Calvin Bassey's pass was misplaced, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg took the ball and passed it early to Son Heung-min. The Korean player assisted Maddison to score.

The two goals left Fulham demoralized, while Tottenham played with excitement. However, the home team could not increase the gap as opportunities passed by Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison.
