Radu Drăgușin, first-time starter at Tottenham: How the Romanian defender played

Radu Drăgușin (22 years old) was a starter for the first time in the Premier League, at Tottenham, in the match lost by the London team away at Fulham, 0-3, in the 29th round of the championship.

Taking advantage of Micky van de Ven’s injury, Drăgușin made his way into Tottenham’s starting lineup in the away match against Fulham. He played the full 90 minutes.

The beginning of the match was not bad at all for Radu Drăgușin, who even managed a good intervention and dispossessed forward Rodrigo Muniz in the box, after he had moved away from him to reach a lobbed ball past the defense.

Everything fell apart for Tottenham after Fulham’s first goal, scored by Rodrigo Muniz, who managed to get away from Drăgușin and took advantage of having plenty of space and the fact that Drăgușin’s teammate, Destiny Udogie, did not come to help.

Furthermore, Radu Drăgușin’s performance was in line with the team’s, and at the end of the match, lost 3-0 away, the Romanian defender received a rating of 6.8 from Sofascore, the second best player in defense, after Cristian Romero (7.5). Udogie received a rating of 6.2, while Pedro Porro was the weakest on the field with a rating of 6.1.

It was Radu Drăgușin’s first match as a starter, and he will likely continue to play in the starting XI until Micky van de Ven returns from injury. The Dutchman’s return is expected for the first match after the break for national team games.

Fulham defeated Tottenham 3-0, with a double by Rodrigo Muniz and another goal scored by Lukic.

As a result, Tottenham remains in 5th place in the standings with 53 points, while Fulham is in 12th place with 38 points.
