Tom Cairney’s impressive goal for Fulham was overshadowed by a red card, marking a bittersweet moment in his long-awaited return to scoring away from home.
In the 66th minute, Cairney scored a stunning goal from the edge of the box. This goal brought Fulham level against Tottenham at their home ground. It was a special moment for Cairney, as it was his first away goal since March 2010.
That was a long wait of 14 years and 269 days since he last scored away from home while playing for Hull City. However, the joy of scoring quickly turned into disappointment.
Just 17 minutes later, in the 83rd minute, Cairney received a straight red card. He was penalized for stepping on Dejan Kulusevski’s calf. The referee decided it was serious foul play after a VAR review.
This sudden turn of events left everyone wondering how Silva would react to Cairney’s actions after the match. It was a day filled with highs and lows for the Fulham midfielder.
