However, the Fulham captain was given his marching orders about twenty minutes after he came on for a rash challenge on Dejan Kulusevski.<\/p>\n<p>Bassey, speaking after the game, revealed he was disappointed his side could only claim a point at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a hard one, I think we deserved more. They had Fraser Forster who pulled out three top saves that could have been goals. We were unlucky.<\/p>\n<p>We also had a man sent off when we started gaining momentum, but on a positive note, we were able to maintain it to make sure we didn\u2019t concede late as we\u2019ve done in a couple games now.
