1’: We’re off!
1’: Decordova-Reid fires one in the first fifteen seconds but it goes well wide.
2’: SAVE! Leno sticks out a leg and blocks Son! Being pulled back for a free kick for a foul in the buildup.
7’: Van de Ven’s sidefoot volley goes over the bar from eight yards out.
8’: Penalty for Spurs??? Big decision for the ref here… it’s outside the box! Just a free kick. Antonee Robinson got lucky there.
12’: SAVE! Palhinha doesn’t even jump and thumps a scary header towards goal, but Vicario just gets his hand behind it.
27’: Højbjerg lets one fly down the middle, right at the keeper for a comfortable save.
30’: Richarlison goes for the bottom corner from outside the box, a decent counter but it ends with the shot going wide.
34’: Maddison whips a shot towards the far side, doesn’t have the power to beat Leno.
35’: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg goes into the book for a late challenge on Willian he couldn’t pull out of in time
36’: GOAL TOTTENHAM!! Bassey fires a bad pass in the back that’s picked up by Spurs! They get it to Son Heung-Min who skips past a couple defenders and fires a shot that Leno is never getting to.
40’: Spurs somehow don’t score a second. A couple desperate blocks leaves them with only a corner even though they seemingly had an open net right in front of goal.
45+1’: Højbjerg goes down after a collision with Bassey, Spurs wants a penalty, none of the officials agree.
HT Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Fulham Spurs wrecking Fulham right now, probably should be up by more.
