Fulham reached the 3rd round of the League Cup after beating Tottenham Hotspur by 5-3 on penalties and drawing 1-1 at Craven Cottage on 29 August 2023, Tuesday. Salford City dumped out Leeds United that made Leeds United suffer shootout misery. Davinson Sanchez, Tottenham defender, could not find the net with the 3rd penalty.

In the pouring rain, Tottenham were leading the match/game. But it was the 19th minute of the London derby when Fulham took the lead via an own goal made by Micky van de Ven, Tottenham defender, from a close range. Tottenham, four-time winners, could not manage a targeted shot in the first half. On the other hand, Fulham, the host, made two goals at halftime. However, Fraser Forster, Tottenham Hotspur keeper, made a superb save from a Rodrigo Muniz header just before the halftime, or the break.

Richarlison had a connection with a loafted bass that Ivan Perisic made to nod home from a tight angle in the 56th minute of the game. At the same time, Ange Postecoglou made a side draw level. To seal the win in the League Cup, Fulham went close at the time when Forster kept Tottenham in the contest even though Harry Wilson ran onto a loose pass inside the box.
