Follow live coverage as Tottenham face Fulham today in the Premier League.
Spurs will hope to bounce off a stunning 4-0 win at Manchester City, despite coming unstuck midweek in Europe against Roma.
The result saw the Australian coach pushed on his approach once more, which was met with a defiant response: “Look, I don’t know how many ways I can say this. “There’s plenty of room for pragmatism in walks of life and in football as well. But I’m just not interested in it. I don’t know why I need to change my approach to be like everyone else wants me to be.”
Ange Postecoglou’s side meet Marco Silva’s Whites, who will be determined to respond to a setback at home to Wolves last time out.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham
It’s goalless at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as neither Spurs or Fulham have been able to truly break free in this end-to-end contest. That said, it has been one of the more entertaining 0-0s so far, with numerous chances for both sides. Spurs nearly took the lead inside the first minute. After Bassey conjured up a criminal hospital pass across his own box, Leno was forced to save well from a Son shot with his feet. Following this, and intriguing work down both flanks from the visitors, Jimenez looked dangerous. He was picked out with a lofted ball by Iwobi 17 minutes in, yet couldn’t control it as Forster leaped out to block bravely. Jimenez and Forster continued their battle in the game’s next real action around 20 minutes later. This time, the Mexican latched onto a great Tete ball from the right and looked destined to find the bottom-left corner. However, Spurs’ Vicario stand-in was supremely agile to tip it away. After Dragusin headed well at Leno to tip over, woodwork was the next order of the day as the first half minutes ebbed by. Iwobi smashed the bar on an exhilarating counter before Maddison could only watch his deft low free-kick creep under the wall and ping off the base of the left post.
