Spurs supporters who booed keeper Vicario were told afterwards "those individuals cannot be true Spurs supporters" by manager Frank.

Tottenham let in a pair of goals in the first six minutes to lose 2-1 to Fulham, registering their 10th Premier League home loss of the year.

However the main talking point was the visitors' next goal when the keeper gave away the ball well outside his area.

He came out to handle a high pass and took the ball towards the sideline.

But, rather than kicking it out of play, the Italy international spun and attempted to clear, but slipped as the ball glanced off Harry Wilson and was controlled by King.

King passed the ball off to Wales midfield player Harry Wilson, who bent a strike into the goal from the touchline measured at thirty-six point six yards.

Moments later when the ball went to the keeper again, a number of Tottenham fans booed him.

Spurs were booed off at half-time, with the club 2-0 behind, and once more at full-time.

One of those booing sessions really irritated Frank.

"It came to my attention some of our fans apparently booed the incident and booed after, which, in my opinion is completely unacceptable," the Danish manager stated regarding the fans' reaction to his shot-stopper.

"Those individuals can't be real Spurs 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."

Tete had given Fulham a early lead prior to Wilson's goal – with Kudus netting for Spurs in an better second period showing.

Ex- Premier League goalkeeper Hart remarked that the next score was "totally avoidable".

"I do appreciate the supporters' disappointment," the ex-keeper added. "I know the role Vicario is playing. He is a great team player, he is a real leader in the locker room but in the end you are going to be judged by your actions.

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

'It's In the Game, I Can Handle It'

Italian international the keeper is in his 3rd season with Spurs.

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

"That score was a error of my own, I take accountability for that," he commented.

"My aim was to kick the ball far and I just hit the ball in a bad way. It was an even bigger mountain to climb."

He said being booed "is part of football".

"I'm a big man, what can I say?" he added. "We cannot be affected by the situation in the crowd. The fans have the entitlement to do what they think.

"It's on the team to stay more composed, to concentrate on our own performance. The team is missing in composure and calmness to reverse outcomes. This match is a poor defeat and it's tough to take."

'I Was Surprised Nobody Returned to the Goal Line'

Despite Vicario's error, it was far from an easy goal for Harry Wilson to convert.

Actually it was the next most distant Premier League score of the season – after Tyler Adams' 43.3 yard goal for the Cherries against the Black Cats, which interestingly too occurred on Saturday.

The goalscorer stated he was "a little bit surprised" that he still had an empty goal to aim for.

10 seconds passed between Vicario exiting of his box and the midfielder shooting – which was five moments following the kick.

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

"It amazed me not one of the defenders went back to the line. When not one of them defended the goal, my eyes lit up a bit.

"Udogie slipped too, which gave me a little extra time. After that it was all about trying to achieve the right contact and place it towards goal. I had a good sense, the moment it left my boot, that it was on the right line."

'When You're in a Poor Run, All Appears to Work Against You'

While the keeper's mistake dominated headlines, this was an all-round bad performance for Tottenham to extend their home ground woes.

This was their tenth at home defeat of 2025 in the league, a shared club statistic matching 1994 and two thousand and three.

The side still have home fixtures against Frank's old side Brentford and title holders the Reds to come before the close of the season.

Only one of those wins have come since Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou in the summer.

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

"During in a bad spell, all aspects appears to go against you too – the opening was a deflected shot, the next is a mistake from Vic.

"This result leaves us in a place where we have suffered an additional match. Each fixture has a single narrative, this game we lost in the early stages.

"We simply need to continue striving. The second half was significantly improved and hopefully something we can utilize to learn."

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

And they are averaging nine point five shots and 3.2 efforts on goal per match in the Premier League – their lowest rates on file in a single season (dating back to 2003-04).

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

"He's got accept the stick," the pundit said. "He's accepted a high profile role at a major team with enormous expectation. There is scrutiny and duty that accompanies that.

"The performances at their stadium have been disappointing and they have to improve {quickly|
