Spurs 2-2 Fulham

 Another London derby today and, though it maybe was not the best quality match of recent times, it nonetheless provided lots of entertainment for a packed stadium as the teams fought for superiority right to the end. An early chance fell to Fulham but Diego wasn't yet warmed up and he missed quite badly, He made amends minutes later though with an excellent assist for Federico but the Fulham captain shot high over the bar. Then it was Spurs turn to put Fulham under pressure and, just as they looked to have forced the ball over the line, Lorenzo C 'took one for the team', handling to keep the ball out and getting a red card for his trouble! José took the resulting penalty and scored... but VAR stepped in to order a re-take because of Lorenzo F's encroachment and this time José's kick was saved by Mattia! The last chance of the half fell to Spurs captain Steve but he too shot over.

The second half was lit up early on by an incredible triple save from Mattia! He blocked shots from Steve, Lorenzo F and Freddie and then recovered to make even a fourth save soon after. The first goal of the game came off a hotly-contested Fulham throw-in. The ball ricocheted into the Spurs goal off a defender but Spurs were adamant that the thrower was standing on the pitch. The referee didn't see it, nor did VAR. Diego could have made it 2-0 almost immediately off a Federico assist hew missed and then but Spurs used the earlier 'wrong' as motivation. Freddie played in Steve and he drove a fierce shot past Mattia. Then Lorenzo F started to finally get the better of on-loan player Erin. He passed to Ashton but Mattia made another good save. Next time though, Lorenzo F took the shot himself and scored: 2-1. The last word went to Diego though. He took a pass on the left fron Lorenzo L and shot the ball back diagonally to tie the game at 2-2.
