Spurs supporters who booed keeper Vicario were told afterwards "they cannot be true Spurs fans" by boss Thomas Frank.

Tottenham let in a pair of scores in the opening initial moments to fall 2-1 to Fulham, registering their tenth top-flight home defeat of 2025.

However the primary talking point was the visitors' next goal when Vicario gave away possession well beyond his area.

The goalkeeper came out to handle a long ball and carried the ball towards the touchline.

But, instead of booting it out of play, the Italian spun and attempted to clear, but slipped as the ball skimmed off Wilson and was controlled by King.

King laid the ball off to Wales midfield player Harry Wilson, who bent a strike into the net from the sideline recorded at thirty-six point six metres.

Moments later when the ball came to Vicario again, a number of Tottenham fans jeered him.

The team were jeered off at half-time, with the club 2-0 behind, and again at the final whistle.

One of those booing sessions truly irritated the manager.

"It came to my attention a few of our fans reportedly booed the situation and booed following, which, in my opinion is completely unacceptable," the Dane stated about the fans' reaction to his shot-stopper.

"Those individuals cannot be true Tottenham fans that do that. Alright booing following the game, fine, but when we are in play, we are supporting each other, we are with each other going forward."

Tete had handed the visitors a early lead before Harry Wilson's goal – with Mohammed Kudus scoring for Tottenham in an better second period performance.

Former Premier League goalkeeper Hart stated that the second goal was "completely preventable".

"I certainly understand the fans' disappointment," the ex-keeper continued. "I am aware the role Vicario is playing. He's a great squad member, he's a true leader in the locker room but ultimately you are going to be judged by your decisions.

"He was deeply implicated in what ended up to be the decisive score."

'It's Part of Football, I'm a Big Man'

Italian national team the keeper is in his third season with Tottenham.

The 29-year-old stated following the game that he had to accept the criticism.

"That score was a error of mine, I accept accountability for that," he commented.

"The intent was to kick the ball long and I just hit the ball in a poor manner. That made an more difficult mountain to climb."

He stated being booed "comes with football".

"I am mature, what can I say?" he continued. "We can't be influenced by the circumstances in the crowd. Supporters have the entitlement to do as they see fit.

"It's on the team to remain increasingly composed, to concentrate on ourselves. The team is lacking in calmness and calmness to reverse results. Today is a bad loss and it's hard to take."

'It Shocked Me Nobody Went Back to the Line'

In spite of Vicario's error, it was not an simple goal for Wilson to convert.

Actually it was the second most distant Premier League score of the season – following Adams' forty-three point three yard strike for Bournemouth against the Black Cats, which incidentally too came on Saturday.

Wilson stated he was "a little bit taken aback" that he still had an empty goal to target.

10 moments elapsed between Vicario exiting of his area and the midfielder shooting – which was 5 moments after the kick.

"I felt like the goalkeeper was out of the box for ages," he said.

"I was surprised not one of the defenders returned to the line. When not one of them covered the net, my interest lit up a bit.

"[Destiny] Udogie fell too, which gave me a little extra time. Then it was solely about trying to make the correct connection and place it on target. I felt a positive feeling, as soon as it came off my foot, that it was heading in."

'When You're in a Bad Spell, All Seems to Work Against You'

While the keeper's error led coverage, this was an overall poor day for Tottenham to continue their home woes.

The match was their 10th at home loss of 2025 in the Premier League, a shared club statistic along with 1994 and two thousand and three.

They still have home fixtures against the manager's former club Brentford and title holders the Reds to play prior to the end of the year.

Just a single of those victories have occurred since the manager replaced Ange Postecoglou in the summer.

"If you are down 2-0 after six minutes, there is a mountain to climb," said the boss.

"During in a poor run, all aspects seems to work against you too – the first was a deflected shot, the second is a mistake from the keeper.

"The outcome leaves us in a position where we have lost another match. Every game has a single story, today we lost in the first six minutes.

"We simply need to keep working. The later period was much better and with luck an aspect we can utilize to learn."

Spurs have lost four consecutive at home capital clashes for the initial time in the Premier League.

Furthermore they are recording nine point five shots and 3.2 shots on target per game in the Premier League – their poorest averages on record in a single campaign (since at least 2003-04).

Ex- Fulham midfielder Danny Murphy stated that the manager has to ride the storm.

"He's got take the stick," the pundit remarked. "He's taken a prestigious role at a major football club with massive expectation. There is pressure and duty that accompanies that.

"The performances at home have been poor and they have to improve {quickly|
