Fulham beat Tottenham 2-0 on Sunday in the Premier League as goals from Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon condemned Ange Postecoglou’s men to yet another defeat in their torrid campaign.
Victory for Fulham propelled Marco Silva’s men into the race for Champions League places as they climbed to eighth, four points off the top four and three outside the top five.

A top-five finish will almost certainly secure a place in Europe’s top club competition next season thanks to the strong performance of English sides in European competitions.
Spurs, though, have struggled to handle the burden of Thursday nights when it comes to their Premier League form.
Postecoglou’s side have won just three times in the 10 league matches that have followed a midweek Europa League fixture.
Fulham were the better side throughout but had to wait until 78 minutes to take the lead when Rodrigo Muniz steered home from Andreas Pereira’s pass. Sessegnon then curled in a brilliant second against his former club to secure victory late on.
