Tottenham left it late to pick up the three points against Fulham on Sunday. Spurs were without Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, and Mauricio Pochettino mixed things up by playing Fernando Llorente as the striker.
The Spaniard didn’t have a great game and even gave Fulham the lead with an own goal, however, Dele Alli equalised in the second half before Harry Winks scored the winner with the last action of the game.
That was enough for Twitter to go crazy as Kane posted about the midfielder.
Yessssss Winkssyyyyy 😁

Christian Eriksen and Paulo Gazzaniga also praised Winks for coming up with the late goal.

There was another player that rocked Twitter with one post. Winks might have scored the header but Georges-Kevin Nkoudou provided a devilish cross that the Fulham defence could not deal with.
The Frenchman has had a tough time at Spurs since his move from Marseille, but he posted a perfect tweet.
Helloooo u remember me ? 🙈🙈 #COYS

Alli posted about picking up the win but the Englishman will be out for a while after picking up a hamstring injury.

Pochettino reverted to a back three from last season and played Davinson Sanchez, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen as our centre-backs.
The trio also posted their relief at picking up the win and the fact that we kept fighting till the final whistle.

Tottenham dominated the game and it seemed that things were just not going to fall in our favour. However, the players kept on going and should have additional confidence ahead of our next clash.
