Despite his left-footed stance, Bassey remained uncomfortable playing from the back, allowing Spurs players to take advantage of his poor passing.
This anxiety eventually led to a second goal, with the impressive James Maddison clinching victory for Tottenham in the 54th minute.

The introduction of Alex Iwobi in the second half was intended to boost Fulham’s performance, but it did not change the course of the game as the hosts secured an easy victory.
With this important win, Spurs now remain top of the EPL standings, two points ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal.
Fulham, on the other hand, are 13th, 12 points behind.
