The London derby failed to offer much in the way of goalmouth action until midway through the second half, when Dominic Solanke and then Willian went close.

Solanke should have done better from close range, before Willian curled just wide of the right-hand upright.

Yet Fulham settled the contest in its favour with two strikes in the closing stages, both from substitutes.

Muniz broke the deadlock with a neat first-time finish and, 10 minutes later, Sessegnon curled in a sublime strike just 57 seconds after coming on, securing the points for Marco Silva on the occasion of his 200th Premier League match.

Silva's side climbed to eighth place and within four points of the top four, having gone unbeaten against Spurs in three straight Premier League games for the first time since 2009.
