LONDON (Reuters) – Fulham put a sizeable dent in Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League top-four hopes as in-form Rodrigo Muniz’s double earned them an impressive 3-0 victory at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
Tottenham could have moved above Aston Villa into fourth place in the standings with a victory but apart from a brief spell before halftime were lackadaisical and could have few complaints.
Muniz broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute and scored again just past the hour mark to finish off Tottenham after Sasa Lukic had doubled Fulham’s lead shortly after the interval.
It completed a notable home double for Fulham over Tottenham having also knocked them out of the League Cup.
Tottenham remain in fifth place with 53 points from 28 games while Fulham are in 12th spot with 38 points from 29 games.
