Tottenham defender Clement Lenglet was delighted with his role in victory over Fulham.

French defender Lenglet was handed a full debut by boss Antonio Conte for the London derby and saw goals from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Kane in each half inspire a fourth triumph of the new Premier League campaign.

An 83rd-minute curler from Aleksandar Mitrovic set up a nervy finale though and Fulham's six-goal hitman forced Lloris into a superb save with two minutes left - but the Spurs captain tipped his deflected effort over to ensure the hosts held on for a vital three points.

Lenglet said: "This is the definition of Hugo Lloris, no? He is always present when we have a bad moment and when we are in difficulty. He showed all his quality on this save and we are very happy to have Hugo behind us.

"It is a big win because it is a difficult opponent. We play a good game, with a lot of intention to take the possession to try to put difficulty against this team and we found a lot of solution to score goals.

"Maybe we didn't score a lot but it is not a problem because we win and this is the most important thing."
