Tom Cairney equalises but then sees red as Fulham earn point at Tottenham
It would be tempting to talk of Tottenham at least being predictable in their unpredictability, of the way they cannot but follow up a great result with a disappointing one, of the inevitability of them, having beaten Manchester City 4-0 last weekend, failing to beat Fulham at home this. But actually the story on Sunday was far more about Fulham, how well they played and how mystifying it was they didn’t take all three points having had the better of the majority of the game.
What made their performance all the more impressive was that they did it without the midfielder Andreas Pereira, who was left out of the match-day squad after giving an interview to Brazilian media in which he seemed to suggest he would quite fancy a move to Marseille to play under Roberto De Zerbi.
