Spurs fans who booed keeper Guglielmo Vicario were informed later "those individuals can't be real Tottenham fans" by manager Frank.

Tottenham let in two goals in the opening initial moments to lose 2-1 to their opponents, registering their tenth Premier League home loss of 2025.

But the main topic of discussion was Fulham's second score when Vicario lost the ball well outside his area.

The goalkeeper came out to deal with a long ball and took the ball towards the touchline.

However, rather than booting it into touch, the Italian turned and attempted to clear away, but lost his footing as the ball skimmed off Wilson and was controlled by King.

King passed the ball off to Welsh midfield player Wilson, who curled a strike into the goal from the sideline recorded at 36.6 metres.

Moments afterwards when the ball went to Vicario once more, a number of Spurs supporters booed him.

The team were booed off at half-time, with the club 2-0 behind, and once more at the final whistle.

A particular of those jeering sessions truly angered the manager.

"It came to my attention some of our supporters reportedly jeered the incident and jeered after, which, in my view is completely unacceptable," the Danish manager commented regarding the supporters' reaction to his goalkeeper.

"[They] cannot be real Tottenham fans that do that. Alright booing following the game, no problem, but when we are in play, we are backing each other, we are with each other going forward."

Kenny Tete had handed the visitors a early advantage prior to Wilson's strike – with Mohammed Kudus netting for Tottenham in an better second period showing.

Former Premier League goalkeeper Hart remarked that the second score was "completely preventable".

"I certainly appreciate the supporters' frustration," Hart continued. "I am aware the role the keeper is performing. He's a excellent squad member, he is a real leader in the locker room but in the end you are going to be assessed by your decisions.

"The keeper was deeply involved in what ended up to be the winning score."

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

Italian national team Vicario is in his 3rd season with Spurs.

He said following the game that he had to accept the feedback.

"That score was a error of mine, I accept responsibility for that," he said.

"The intent was to kick the ball far and I just hit the ball in a poor way. That made an even bigger mountain to climb."

He stated being booed "comes with football".

"I'm a big man, what can I say?" he continued. "The team cannot be affected by the circumstances in the stands. The fans have the right to do what they think.

"It's on the team to stay more calm, to focus on our own performance. The team is lacking in composure and poise to reverse outcomes. This match is a poor defeat and it is hard to take."

'It Shocked Me Nobody Returned to the Goal Line'

In spite of Vicario's mistake, it was far from an simple goal for Harry Wilson to score.

In fact it was the second longest-range top division goal of the season – after Adams' forty-three point three yard strike for Bournemouth against the Black Cats, which interestingly too came on Saturday.

The goalscorer stated he was "somewhat surprised" that he still had an empty goal to target.

10 seconds elapsed between Vicario coming out of his area and Wilson shooting – which was five seconds following the clearance.

"I felt like the keeper was away from the area for ages," he said.

"It amazed me none of the back four went back to the goal line. When not one of them defended the net, my eyes sparked somewhat.

"Udogie slipped as well, which allowed me a little extra time. Then it was solely about trying to make the right connection and get it on target. I had a good feeling, as soon as it came off my boot, that it was heading in."

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

Although the keeper's mistake dominated headlines, this was an overall bad day for Spurs to extend their home struggles.

This was their tenth home loss of 2025 in the Premier League, a joint team statistic matching nineteen ninety-four and two thousand and three.

The side still have home games against the manager's old side Brentford and title holders Liverpool to play prior to the end of the season.

Only one of those victories have come since Frank took over from Ange Postecoglou in the off-season.

"When you're behind 2-0 after six minutes, there is a mountain to overcome," stated the boss.

"During in a bad spell, all aspects appears to go against you too – the first was a redirected attempt, the next is a mistake from the keeper.

"The outcome puts us in a position where we have lost an additional game. Each fixture has a single narrative, this game we were defeated in the first six minutes.

"We just need to continue striving. The second half was significantly improved and hopefully an aspect we can utilize to develop."

Tottenham have lost four consecutive at home London derbies for the first time in the top division.

Furthermore they are recording nine point five attempts and 3.2 shots on target per match in the Premier League – their poorest rates on file in a single campaign (dating back to the 2003-04 season).

Ex- Cottagers midfield player Murphy stated that Frank has to ride the storm.

"He's got take the criticism," the pundit remarked. "He's taken a prestigious job at a major team with massive expectation. There is scrutiny and responsibility that comes with that.

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