Harry Winks scored a stoppage-time winner as Tottenham came from behind to inflict a crushing 2-1 defeat on Fulham on Winks applied the finishing touch to a Georges-Kevin Nkoudou cross in the third minute of added time as Spurs passed their first assignment without Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son
Fernando Llorente, the man drafted in to replace Kane and Son, handed Fulham the lead with an own goal inside 16 minutes, but Dele Alli spared his blushes, drawing Spurs level six minutes into the second half, before 
Fulham looked to have secured a vital point in their battle against relegation but Winks' first goal since November 2016 saw Spurs beat a side managed by Claudio Ranieri in the Premier League for the first time, deepening their plight towards the foot of the table
All the talk ahead of kick-off concerned Tottenham's ability to cope without both Kane and Son for the first time in 132 Premier League games, but it was evident early on that it would take some time for Spurs to adjust
Fulham's recent signing Ryan Babel kicked off an impressive debut performance on 12 minutes when he outmuscled Davinson Sanchez and charged towards the area, where his fierce near-post shot was tipped behind by Hugo Lloris
From the resulting corner, Denis Odoi shanked a shot wide from a good position but the early chances set the tone, giving Fulham confidence and belief that Spurs could be got at
Cyrus Christie accepted the invitation to charge forward on the quarter-hour
 His cross deflected behind for a corner from which Fulham took the lead as the unsighted Llorente diverted Jean Michael Seri's delivery beyond Lloris
Llorente had the chance to atone for his clanger on 24 minutes but failed to make clear contact with Jan Vertonghen's deep cross, his effort off the shoulder dealt with by Sergio Rico
Spurs, who were laboured and short of ideas, were fortunate to reach the interval with just the one-goal deficit as Fulham laid siege to their goal
 Babel should have doubled the hosts' tally on 40 minutes but he headed over from Christie's cross
Andre Schurrle's brilliant volley then drew Lloris into an even better save before Aleksandar Mitrovic's rebound was ruled out for offside, while a last-gasp challenge from Vertonghen prevented Babel from finding the target after a deft back-heel from Calum Chambers
But after a number of close calls Spurs took just six minutes of the second half to erase Fulham's lead as Eriksen's whipped cross from the right was headed home by Alli at close range
Fulham saw claims for a penalty turned away when Lloris raced off his line to confront Mitrovic, with referee Craig Pawson confident the Spurs stopper had made clear contact with the ball first
Danny Rose's deflected shot cannoned off the crossbar on the hour before the England left-back whipped a peach of the cross into the area on 80 minutes
 Llorente had another chance to make up for his own goal, this time at the same end, but he glanced wide from five yards
Fulham looked to have earned a vital point towards their survival bid but it was cruelly snatched away from them as Nkoudou's teasing cross from the left was dispatched by Winks with seconds remaining, leaving the hosts with no time to respond
"The first half was fantastic for us
 We scored, maybe there was a penalty too after our goal
 The second half they tried to do their best but the two goals, we lacked experience
 With one minute at the end we had a free-kick and put it in the box, why? Take it to the corner
 I think our fans are happy for their performance and we must continue this way
 I am confident and haven't lost my confidence about the team
" "The performance was solid, although maybe not great
 Fulham are a team who needed to win and we struggled a little bit in the first half, because from set-pieces, they work so hard
 After Manchester United, it was a tough week for us because there were some negative bits around the team, but we turned it into a positive today
"With Kane and Son missing Spurs needed someone to step up to the plate when it mattered most and Winks proved to be that man
 An assured midfield performance was capped in the most dramatic circumstances as he finished off the move he initiated, driving into the area to head Spurs back to winning ways with only his second goal for the club
