Tottenham left it late as Harry Winks popped up at the death to score and finally see off Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Shorn of Harry Kane it was another Harry who proved Spurs' saviour heading in in stoppage time after Dele Alli, who would later go off injured, had equalised Fernando Llorente's own goal opener.

Here's how it played out:

30 mins: Fulham 1 - 0 Spurs

Tottenham work the channels on the left, with Danny Rose squeezing into the box and winning a corner. The ball comes in, gets header away but Spurs have a throw in.

33 mins: Fulham 1 - 0 Spurs

Fulham whip a corner into the box but Tottenham take control of the ball and break quickly sending it down the right wing. The next pass is way too heavy and the ball goes out of play.

36 mins: Fulham 1 - 0 Spurs

Tottenham have a corner now, Vertonhen puts it into the area and Mitrovic heads it clear. Winks brings it back into Fulham's half before Rose gets free down the left. He puts it into the box and Llorente puts the ball wide of goal.

Great chance for Fulham! Christie gets the ball in the middle of the pitch just right of goal. He puts the ball into the box and Babel raises above everyone and wins the header putting it juts over the bar.

It's in! Or is it? Babel whips the ball into the box from the left and Schurrle meets it on the volley forcing Lloris into a diving save, Mitrovic heads the rebound into the net but is ruled offside!

44 mins: Fulham 1 - 0 Spurs

Babel gets another sight on goal, the cross comes in from a corner. The corner is cleared but Fulham work the ball in low to Babel who shoots and wins another corner. Fulham right on top now.

45 mins: Fulham 1 - 0 Spurs

Both teams have had their moments but Fulham have looked the more threatening side. A fluke deflection of Llorente gives Fulham the lead but by the looks of the first half there could be goals to come in this match yet.

SECOND HALF: Fulham 1 - 0 Spurs

Spurs get the match restarted, they pump the ball long but Fulham get it clear.

48 mins: Fulham 1 - 0 Spurs

Tottenham were under pressure towards the end of the first half, so they've come out in this 45 minuts looking to control possession and so far they're achieving that.

51 mins: Fulham 1 - 1 Spurs - Alli

Fulham gift Spurs an equaliser. Ream makes a mistake trying to clear the ball and it comes to Eriksen. Eriksen puts the ball into the box and Dele Alli finds the back of the net with a good header.
