England’s World Cup run to the semi-finals was one of the biggest stories of the summer and it was spearheaded by many Tottenham Hotspur stars. Two of them have earned Spurs a win over Fulham today.
Kieran Trippier gave Spurs the lead with a stunning free kick with around 20 minutes remaining, taking the ball off of set piece wizard Christian Eriksen and striking an amazing shot that the Fulham goalkeeper didn’t get within a foot off.
