  1. 'I don't think Spurs were up to speed together'

    Fulham 1-1 Tottenham (5-3 pens)

    Ray Houghton

    Ex-Fulham midfielder on Football Daily podcast

    Tottenham players bow their heads after Davinson Sanchez misses a penalty

    I don't think Spurs were up to speed together in the opening 30 minutes. After that I think they settled down, they started to control the game. The one thing I think he [Ange Postecoglou] will be looking at is they don't look like they are going to score an awful lot of goals with the players that were on.

    It's different when you have Son, Kulusevski, Maddison in the starting 11 who can open up any defence. They look more threatening when they came on.

    Listen to more reaction via the Football Daily podcast on BBC Sounds.

  2. Tete penalty topples Spurs in shootout

    Fulham 1-1 Tottenham (5-3 pens)

    Tete and Fulham celebrate

    Richarlison scored but could not prevent Tottenham going out of the Carabao Cup as Fulham won a penalty shootout to progress to round three.

    After a Micky van de Ven first-half own goal gave Fulham a deserved lead, Spurs levelled in unusual circumstances.

    The home side were temporarily reduced to 10 men when Kenny Tete had to change his boot and Spurs took full advantage when Richarlison headed in.

    But Davinson Sanchez's penalty was saved as Fulham won the shootout.

    It was Tete - with a new boot on - who scored the decisive spot-kick to send the home side through.

  4. 'The next few days will be key'

    Gary O'Neil points to Matheus Nunes

    It is understood Wolves want in excess of £60m for Portugal international Matheus Nunes, who has made it clear he wants to join Manchester City.

    Here's more from Wolves boss Gary O'Neil, whose side beat Blackpool 5-0 to reach the Carabao Cup third round.

    "After the [£47m] bid from Manchester City he decided it was best for him to not to be with the group," said O'Neil.

    "Club policy, and how we deal with things like that, is set in place.

    "As far as I'm aware there's been no improved bid. Matheus Nunes is still our player, we have a long contract still with him and at this moment I fully expect him to be here come 2 September.

    "The next few days will be key of course and conversations will take place that will be private between me and Matheus and I'm sure the situation will be resolved."

  5. O'Neil expects Nunes to stay at Wolves

    Wolves manager Gary O'Neil

    Another big transfer story this morning follows comments made by Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Gary O'Neil, who says he expects Matheus Nunes to still be at the club after Friday's transfer deadline day, with Manchester City prepared to walk away from a deal.

    Premier League leaders City had a £47m bid for the Portugal international, 25, turned down last week, and BBC Sport's Simon Stone reports that they feel Wolves' valuation has become unrealistic.

    Midfielder Nunes has been absent from training recently.

    "He's not with the group at the moment, his choice," said O'Neil.
