    That's cruel idea Richard... you want to reward Fulham for going into 6th by giving them the football of Sean Dyche?!

    Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham

    Spurs keeper Fraser Forster controls a backpass and has to flick the ball past the onrushing Evanilson.

    Spurs counter quickly and Yves Bissouma's 25-yard strike hits a Bournemouth player and goes for a corner.

    Fulham 3-1 Brighton

    Alex Iwobi now has five in the Premier League this season and it's the first time he's scored two in the same game since December 2023. He was due.

    Fulham 3-1 Brighton

    Another wonderful goal from Fulham. The ball is fed into the feet of Alex Iwobi and it is a great spin and turn to go past his man. Another challenge comes in but the defender doesn't commit to it and he gets a second chance.

    Iwobi then just lifts his head up and fires it into the far corner. The goalkeeper has no chance.

    GOAL - Fulham 3-1 Brightonpublished at 21:16 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December

    Alex Iwobi (87 mins)

    What. A. Goal.

    Antonee Robinson is once again influential down the left and he finds Alex Iwobi, who takes the ball beautifully on the spin to open his body up and curl the ball around the defender and into the bottom corner.

    That should be the three points wrapped up.

    Richard @21:07, that currently would mean Emery to Man Utd, and Howe back to Bournemouth...

    Fulham 2-1 Brighton

    Lewis Dunk was furious in the aftermath of that goal and I still have no idea why.

    Anyway, he's picked up a yellow card for his troubles.

    Watched the goal several times and I fail to see why Lewis Dunk was yelling at the referee.

    That own goal was Matt O'Riley's last action as he makes way alongside Joao Pedro and Simon Adingra as Georginio Rutter, Yankuba Minteh and Evan Ferguson come on.

    Can they find a way back?

    Spurs need some serious investment in January, otherwise the top four and potentially even the European spots in general will continue to slip away. The lack of experience and strength in depth is particularly concerning, especially when Romero and VDV are missing.

    The ball is whipped into the box with great pace by Andreas Pereira and it comes off the back of Matt O'Riley and goes into the far corner. The Brighton man turned his back last minute and it's an own goal. The delivery in is what causes all the problems.

    Fulham probably can't believe their luck right now. It had been 30 minutes since their last attempt on goal but they now find themselves in the lead. Football is a funny, old game.
