MATHYS TEL confronted raging fans in the away end after Tottenham’s sucker-punch loss at Fulham.

Spurs travelled to their London rivals on Sunday hoping to win for just the second time in their last five games.

However, Fulham hit Tottenham with a late double as goals from Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon sealed a 2-0 result at Craven Cottage.

The result leaves Spurs 13th in the table, level on points with Everton, West Ham and Manchester United.

But the latter can move three points clear with victory over Leicester tonight.

While Tottenham’s hopes of making a late surge for a European place are all-but-over.

The pressure is now building on Ange Postecoglou, who has won just 10 of his 29 league matches this season.

And Spurs fans in the away end at Fulham let rip at full-time.

They lambasted their team’s lack of fight and energy.

But even the most ardent supporter would not have expected January loan signing Tel to attempt to make peace.

The striker crossed the hoardings and walked into the stand while being berated from all sides.

Tel, who could join Spurs in a permanent move from Bayern Munich for £55million this summer, tried to calm things down as he confronted vocal fans.

The Frenchman could be heard telling them they “need to be together.”

But the star ended up walking off defeated as supporters told him things “are not good enough.”

Speaking after the match, boss Postecoglou admitted he shared the pain of the fans.

He said: “I get their disappointment. It’s unacceptable to see 15 league defeats.

“It’s nowhere near good enough, nowhere near the level we need to be and I understand the supporters’ frustrations with that.

“Today wasn’t so much about performance, it was just another day when we let a game get away from us that we shouldn’t have.

“We weren’t played off the park and I felt that up until the point they scored, we were the team that was getting on top.

“We had a couple of good chances to go 1-0 up and that would have put the pressure on them, but it’s happened too many times this year.

“We’ve given the opposition a lift into the game by conceding soft goals.”
