Tottenham were staring down the barrel of another disappointing result as the seconds ticked by at Craven Cottage.
Spurs had dominated the relegation-threatened side but the scoreline was 1-1. We had also lost one of our most important players, Dele Alli, to a hamstring injury, and were without Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
It seemed all was lost as we were going to drop precious points but up stepped Harry Winks to score a late-late winner.
There were some wild celebrations from the Spurs players and supporters, but another almost forgotten man, Georges-Kevin Nkoudou deserves a lot of credit for his incredible cross in the dying seconds of the game.
This was the Frenchman’s first Premier League appearance of the season, and in four minutes, he turned things around for the side.
The 23-year-old has barely started games for us since his move from Marseille in 2016 and has struggled to make an impact in the Premier League.
Nkoudou even spent time away at Burnley on loan last season, but he didn’t set the world on fire at the Clarets too.
However, the Frenchman posted the perfect tweet after his antics on Sunday, and reminded people he still is a Tottenham player.
Helloooo u remember me ? 🙈🙈 #COYS

It is to be seen if Nkoudou gets more playing time for the remainder of the campaign. Spurs are a little short on attackers, and this assist could be the morale boost the Frenchman has needed during his spell here.
Several fans were ecstatic with Nkoudou’s role in the win, and here some of their best reactions from Twitter.
Oh yeah I forgot and now your on equal assist with ozil for the whole season 😂😂
