Tottenham player ratings vs Fulham - Forster and Dragusin impress but two players really poor

Tottenham drew 1-1 with Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon and here are our Spurs player ratings from the game.

Spurs added Dominic Solanke to their long list of unavailable players after he arrived at the stadium but was considered too unwell to take part and was sent home by Ange Postecoglou. The striker added to an absentee list that contained goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Richarlison, Wilson Odobert, Mikey Moore, and the suspended Rodrigo Bentancur.

Postecoglou made four changes as James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, Timo Werner and Yves Bissouma all came in to the team with Dejan Kulusevski among those rested on the bench.

Both sides struck the woodwork in the first half and both keepers had to make saves but neither team could break the deadlock in the opening 45 minutes.

The goal finally came on 54 minutes when Timo Werner picked out Brennan Johnson with a great cross and the Wales international buried a powerful volley past Bernd Leno.

The visitors found a leveller though with a clinical finish by the unmarked Tom Cairney from just inside the box in the 67th minute.

Fulham were knocked down to 10 men after a Cairney challenge on Kulusevski, high and down the back of the Swede's calf, was deemed worthy of a red card by the VAR assistant referee Craig Pawson and referee Darren Bond agreed after looking at his pitchside monitor. Spurs could not find a late winner though with their numerical advantage.

Here are our Tottenham player ratings from the game:

Fraser Forster

His first Premier League appearance in 18 months and he was excellent. Denied Jimenez in the first half and then made a full length save from the same player 35 minutes into the game. Pushed an Iwobi shot on to the crossbar with his fingertips. Made a save with his knee from Diop early in the second half and then from Iwobi. Dived at full stretch and couldn't do anything about Cairney's powerful shot inside the right-hand post. 9

Pedro Porro

Looked tired for much of the game and had a tough job on his hands with Iwobi in the second half. Wasn't able to make a couple of runs as the game wore on when team-mates needed him to. Odd that Spence wasn't called upon at any point. 5

Radu Dragusin

Had a header tipped over by Leno and did well on the whole, including a sliding interception in his six-yard box that had to be perfect or it would have sent the ball into his own net. 8

Ben Davies

Played with a black eye and made an important early tackle in the Spurs box. Did well alongside Dragusin until being unable to keep pace with a late Fulham break. 7

Destiny Udogie

Didn't offer too much going forward and one late slip allowed Fulham to break away for a dangerous attack. 6

Pape Matar Sarr

Plenty of effort and endeavour but without the quality needed in the final action. 6

Yves Bissouma

A performance blending good moments and sloppy ones. 6

James Maddison

Hit the post with a clever deflected low free-kick. Struggled to make much else happen for Spurs. 5

Brennan Johnson

Very quiet going forward for much of the game but again made it a goal in four consecutive games for club and country with a powerful volley on the run past Leno for his 10th of the season. Gets a couple of extra marks for an excellent goal but otherwise he struggled to get involved. 6

Son Heung-min

Had a couple of early chances, both stopped by Leno, but contributed very little after that. Really looked on the fringes of the game. A very quiet day for the captain when he needed to grab the game by the scruff of the neck. 4

Timo Werner

Made a good interception and pass to Son within 50 seconds to give Spurs an early chance. Set up Johnson with a great cross to make it assists in back-to-back Premier League games. Was the most threatening of the front three although that wasn't saying much. 6

Subs

Dejan Kulusevski

Tried to make things happened but couldn't make much of an impact. 5

Lucas Bergvall

Came on for the final 10 minutes or so and was neat if not impactful. 5

Archie Gray

Lasted only a few minutes before coming off injured. N/A

Will Lankshear

Made his Premier League debut in the final minutes. N/A
