Spurs hold on for victory

06 November 2011 18:17

Tottenham survived a second-half onslaught with a 3-1 victory at Craven Cottage to deny Fulham manager Martin Jol a satisfying Barclays Premier League victory over his former club.

Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon struck to give Spurs a commanding interval lead in a lively London derby, but they were over-run when play resumed.

Fulham dominated the second half with Younes Kaboul's 57th-minute own goal the direct result of relentless pressure from the rampant home side, only for Jermain Defoe to then pounce deep into injury time.
