Spurs fans who booed keeper Vicario were told later "they can't be true Tottenham supporters" by boss Frank.

Spurs let in a pair of goals in the first initial moments to fall 2-1 to Fulham, registering their tenth top-flight home loss of 2025.

But the primary topic of discussion was the visitors' next goal when Vicario lost possession far beyond his area.

The goalkeeper ventured out to deal with a high pass and took the ball towards the sideline.

But, rather than booting it into touch, the Italy international turned and tried to clear away, but lost his footing as the ball skimmed off Wilson and was controlled by King.

The forward passed the ball off to Wales midfield player Wilson, who bent a shot into the net from the touchline measured at 36.6 yards.

Moments afterwards when the ball came to Vicario again, some 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 booing sessions really angered the manager.

"It came to my attention a few of our supporters apparently jeered the incident and jeered after, which, in my view is completely unacceptable," the Danish manager commented about the fans' response to his goalkeeper.

"[They] can't be true Tottenham supporters that do that. Alright booing after the match, fine, but when we are playing, we are supporting one another, we are with each other going forward."

Tete had given Fulham a fourth-minute lead before Harry Wilson's goal – with Mohammed Kudus netting for Spurs in an better second-half showing.

Former Premier League keeper Hart stated that the next goal was "completely avoidable".

"I do understand the supporters' disappointment," Hart added. "I am aware the role the keeper is playing. He is a great team player, he's a true figure in the locker room but ultimately you are going to be judged by your actions.

"He was heavily involved in what ended up to be the winning score."

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

Italian national team Vicario is in his third campaign with Tottenham.

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

"That goal was a mistake of my own, I accept accountability for it," he commented.

"The intent was to kick the ball far and I simply hit the ball in a bad way. That made an more difficult mountain to climb."

He stated being booed "is part of football".

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

"It's on us to remain increasingly calm, to concentrate on our own performance. The team is lacking in calmness and calmness to overturn results. Today is a poor loss and it is hard to accept."

'It Shocked Me No One Went Back to the Goal Line'

In spite of the keeper's error, it was not an simple score for Wilson to score.

In fact it was the next most distant top division goal of the campaign – following Adams' forty-three point three metre strike for Bournemouth against Sunderland, which interestingly also occurred on Saturday.

Wilson stated he was "somewhat surprised" that he still had an open goal to target.

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

"It seemed to me like the keeper was away from the area for a long time," Wilson said.

"I was surprised not one of the defenders went back to the line. When not one of them defended the net, my interest sparked a bit.

"[Destiny] Udogie slipped too, which allowed me a bit of additional opportunity. Then it was solely about attempting to make the correct contact and place it towards goal. I had a positive sense, as soon as it left my boot, that it was heading in."

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

Although the keeper's error dominated headlines, this was an all-round poor day for Spurs to extend their home struggles.

This was their tenth home loss of 2025 in the league, a joint club record along with nineteen ninety-four and two thousand and three.

They still have home games against the manager's former club Brentford and champions Liverpool to come before the end of the season.

Just a single of those victories have come after Frank took over from Ange Postecoglou in the summer.

"When you're down 2-0 following six minutes, there is a mountain to overcome," said Frank.

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

"This result leaves us in a place where we have lost an additional game. Every game has a single narrative, this game we lost in the first six minutes.

"We just need to keep working. The second half was significantly improved and with luck an aspect we can use to develop."

Tottenham have lost four consecutive at home capital clashes for the first time in the top division.

Furthermore they are averaging 9.5 shots and three point two shots on target per match in the Premier League – their poorest averages on record in a single season (dating back to the 2003-04 season).

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

"He must accept the criticism," Murphy said. "He's taken a prestigious role at a major team with enormous expectation. There is scrutiny and duty that accompanies that.

"Their showings at their stadium have been disappointing and they have to get better {quickly|
