Fulham Stuns Tottenham 2-1
Fulham beat Tottenham 2-1 with Alex Iwobi's stunning goal sparking major debate about its quality. Meanwhile, Man Utd came back to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 with a Bruno Fernandes penalty and Sesko header after a red card, while Brighton edged Nottingham Forest 2-1.
The victory secured Fulham's first league double over Tottenham since the 2012-13 season, lifting them to ninth in the table. For Spurs, the loss extends their winless run to 10 Premier League matches, leaving them winless in 2026 and just four points clear of the relegation zone. The result marked a second straight defeat for Tottenham's interim manager, Igor Tudor. Harry Wilson opened the scoring for Fulham in the seventh minute before Iwobi's much-discussed goal in the 34th. Richarlison pulled one back for Spurs in the 66th minute, but it wasn't enough to spark a comeback. Alex Iwobi's strike was a first-time, side-footed shot from roughly 20 yards that ricocheted in off the post. The former Arsenal player said the "unique" finish is something he regularly practices in training, a claim his teammates have confirmed. Manchester United's victory propelled them into third place in the Premier League table, ahead of Aston Villa on goal difference. It marks the first time United has been in the top three since May 2023 and extends their unbeaten league run to 11 games under interim manager Michael Carrick. The turning point at Old Trafford came when Crystal Palace's Maxence Lacroix went from hero to villain. After scoring a fourth-minute opener, he was sent off in the 56th minute for a foul that denied a clear goalscoring opportunity, leading to Bruno Fernandes' equalizing penalty. Benjamin Sesko's winning header was his sixth Premier League goal of 2026, a tally only surpassed by one other player in that period. The Slovenian striker has now scored four goals in his last five appearances for the club. Brighton's win over Nottingham Forest came courtesy of a wild opening 15 minutes that saw all three goals scored. Diego Gomez put Brighton ahead, Morgan Gibbs-White equalized for Forest with a 25-yard strike, before Danny Welbeck scored the decisive goal from close range. The loss keeps Forest just two points above the drop zone.
