After yet another defeat for Ange Postecoglou's side heading into the international break, Tottenham Hotspur will be left ruing another afternoon that contained individual errors and a lack of identity for large parts.

The Lilywhites lacked fight in the first half and grew into the game in the second, however, a lack of ruthlessness in the final third was once again the north London outfit's undoing.

Goals from Rodirgo Muniz and former Spurs man, Ryan Sessegnon, were nails in the coffin of another game this season that many fans will be hoping to forget.

Tottenham Player Ratings

Guglielmo Vicario - 7

Vicario was unable to prevent either of the goals but was largely positive and comfortable with his distribution. If he was fit for the entirety of the season, Spurs may not be in the disappointing league position they are in now.

Djed Spence - 6

Another game of positive runs and being one of the best ball carries the team possesses. However, Spence switched off at a vital moment when the game was still in the balance, ultimately costing his side a chance of salvaging a point.

That being said, Spence was by no means the reason the north London side lost today and was an occasional bright spark, particularly when driving with the ball.

Cristian Romero - 7

Romero is one of the best at reading the game in his position and proved it again today. He was subbed off just past the hour mark to manage his minutes ahead of the international break, but will surely return as a vitally important part of Postecoglou's team.

Ben Davies - 5

Davies was consistent with his defending as per usual, but didn't impact the game in the same way Micky Van de Ven would (which is understandable). The key moment he was involved in was the second Fulham goal, in which he failed to win his battle against Sessegnon.

Destiny Udogie - 6

After failing to get to grips with the game in the first half, Udogie started to show his best self in moments of the second half, driving forward with the ball.

His overlapping runs provided a greater volume of chances for Tottenham to score, but he ultimately lacked support in key moments.

Rodrigo Bentancur - 5

Bentancur had little impact on the game, despite working hard before being subbed.

Yves Bissouma - 3

Bissouma has had a season to forget, with another half of football that was littered with poor passing and touches before being hooked.

Archie Gray - 5

In many ways the feeling of a debut for Gray as he started in holding midfield. He won the ball back on multiple occasions but also had some moments that lacked quality, not helped by the lack of creativity that surrounded him in the first half.

He returned to centre-half once Cristian Romero was subbed off.

Brennan Johnson - 3

A disappointing afternoon for the Welsh winger, failing to create opportunities for his teammates, or himself, to score. Subbed off at half-time.

Dominic Solanke - 5

Through no fault of his own, Solanke failed to impact the game in the opening 45 minutes. He grew more into the game after the break, failing to convert the main chance he had in the game from Maddison's chest pass.

Mathys Tel - 6

Much brighter from Tel out on the wing for Spurs, willing to run at defenders and having a chance parried by Bernd Leno in the second half.

At 19 years of age, the French forward definitely has potential to become a key player if he stays beyond his loan period with the club.

Substitutes

Lucas Bergvall - 8

Once again, the Swedish midfielder was setting the tempo for Postecoglou's team, with sharp passing and dribbling.

Could have been awarded a penalty for his run past Calvin Bassey but it was a the kind of decision that hasn't gone Spurs' way for the vast majority of the season.

Son Heung-min - 5

Lacked a clinical touch but was positive with the ball and tried to make something happen, but it was to no avail.

James Maddison - 4

Failed to impact the game after impressing against AZ Alkmaar.

Wilson Odobert - 4

Lost the ball which led to Fulham's opener and did not make a difference to Spurs' attack in the short period he was on the pitch.

Dane Scarlett - N/A

Would've hoped for more game time with the rotation of the side. He will be joining up with the England elite squad over the break.
