The Cottagers were fantastic for about 20 minutes against Spurs – and that proved to be enough to get the job done in the 2-1 win.

They had only picked up one point on the road this season, their last away win in the league also coming against Frank – his Brentford side in May. The last time they won at Tottenham was 12 years ago at the old White Hart Lane.

Samuel Chukwueze was making his first start for the club since joining in the summer on loan from AC Milan and Spurs struggled to deal with him.

The 26-year-old Nigerian set up the early goal for Kenny Tete, struck the post and almost had another good scoring chance after rounding the goalkeeper.

Fulham showed good composure to take advantage of Vicario's poor pass. Raul Jimenez put the keeper under pressure, forcing that horrible clearance to Harry Wilson.

But they did not rush and the winger played a one-two with Josh King before swinging a goal in from 36.6m.

That was the second longest-range Premier League goal of the season – with both scored on the same day – following Tyler Adams' 43.3m goal for Bournemouth.

Fulham did not have a single shot between the 13th and 73rd minute - but Kevin almost added a late third.
