Tottenham fans turned on goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario with boos, angering manager Thomas Frank in a shocking turn of events at the team's home stadium. The Italian keeper made a costly mistake, allowing Harry Wilson to score Fulham's second goal, which proved to be the difference between the two teams in a 2-1 defeat.
Frank, who has been under pressure since taking over as manager just a few months ago, was furious with his players for not bouncing back from the early goal. However, he was more upset by the reaction of the fans, who booed Vicario after every error, including the second mistake that led to Fulham's second goal.
"This result leaves us in a place where we have lost another game," Frank said, trying to put on a brave face despite the disappointing defeat. "Every game has a single story, this game we lost in the first six minutes." But it was clear that Frank was upset by the fans' behavior, stating that booing during the match is "unacceptable" and not typical of Tottenham supporters.
Frank's frustration with his players came as no surprise, given their dismal performance against Fulham. Despite having chances to equalize, Spurs were unable to capitalize on their possession advantage and ultimately fell behind in the first six minutes.
For his part, Vicario accepted full blame for the second goal, admitting that he made a mistake by hitting the ball long with the intent of clearing it. "It's tough because to go 2-0 down after six minutes, you never expect this," he said. "Especially the second goal was a mistake of mine."
The defeat has left Spurs in a precarious position, and Frank will be under pressure to turn things around quickly. Meanwhile, Fulham's Marco Silva celebrated his team's first away win of the season, praising their control of the game during the first 35 minutes. The win marked Silva's 200th game in charge of the team and was a welcome boost for him as he looks to build momentum for his side.

I gotta say, this Tottenham game just goes from bad to worse. First, the keeper makes these huge mistakes, then the fans turn on him... it's just not cool, you know? 
The manager's right though, booing during a match is super unacceptable. Spurs are already struggling and they don't need that kind of negativity. The keeper did make some costly errors, but it's still on him to perform better. 200th game for Fulham's Silva sounds like a big deal, I'm rooting for them to keep this momentum going! 
! I mean, I get that mistakes happen, but booing the goalie every time? That's not fair on Vicario at all 
. You can't just vent your frustrations on him like that. Frank was right, booing during the match is unacceptable 
. Spurs are in a tough spot right now, and they need their fans to be supporting them, not tearing each other down 
.
. I mean, Vicario made mistakes, but a little sympathy would've been nice 
... or at least try to keep the negativity to a minimum 
.
like what's wrong with ppl these days? can't even support their own teammates, just booing at 'em every time they make a mistake 
... I mean, who hasn't had one of those days where you just wanna throw your gloves off 
. It's not like he's trying to lose for Fulham (although, tbh, he was doing a pretty bad job of it). Manager Frank seems reasonable enough, but I guess when your team loses 2-1 in the first six minutes, you gotta take responsibility 
?
Coach Frank's right, booing during the match is unacceptable 
the thing is, spurs had so many chances to comeback but didnt 
. I mean, come on, it's just a game! Vicario made a mistake, yeah, but booing him after every error? That's gonna psyche him out and make him play worse next time 
, but Marco Silva's getting too caught up in all this drama 
. Can't a guy just celebrate a win without the added stress of managing his players' expectations? 
. Fulham's win was a nice change of pace for them, Marco Silva is doing something right with that team 
. I mean, I get it, Vicario made some mistakes, but come on guys, he's human too! 
. The fans need to take a deep breath and remember that football is a game, not a punishment 
.
. Anyway, it's gonna be a tough ride for Frank and his team now...
️
. 200th game under pressure and he still manages to get a result? That's impressive! But for Spurs, this loss has got them in a tough spot 
. The manager's got a right to be mad, but he should be more understanding of his players... and fans, too! 
. and frank's gotta take responsibility too, he can't control how the fans react, but he can try 2 get them pumped up 4 the team 
. The manager's right, though - it's unacceptable behavior from some of them. Frank's gotta keep his cool and try to get those players motivated again 
. And Vicario's taking the L, no cap
