Sudden grey spots on basil?

My basil plant has had a rough time this summer. At first it was being attacked by leaf hoppers ((from my sage plant)) but I sprayed it insecticidal soap made with dr bronners peppermint every other day for a week or so and the leaf hopper issue resolved. The plant was looking better the past couple weeks. This morning I noticed a spider web on it do I sprayed it a little bit with the soap again to be safe. I thought the leaves were looking a little soft recently ((not exactly wilting though)) but this afternoon 1/4 of the plants leaves had these greyish splotches on them! I didn't notice the splotches this morning. They're kind of indented a bit ? I'm new to gardening and not too knowledgeable on plant ailments. Could it be blight? Or a fungus? If anyone could offer insight it would be much appreciated!
