Tottenham Spurs, on hunt for a trophy since 2008, has seen one of its two realistic shots at silverware this season disappear already. Davinson Sanchez was the only player who failed to score in a penalty shootout as Tottenham lost 5-3 to Fulham on spot kicks to get eliminated in the second round after a 1-1 draw in regulation on Tuesday.
In what was an embarrasing defeat, Spurs have been knocked out before England`s top teams have even entered the competition. The Premier League clubs competing in Europe this season don`t play in the League Cup until the third round.
