Clement Lenglet was happy to mark his first Tottenham start with a 'big win' and hailed the role of international colleague Hugo Lloris after their 2-1 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.
