App exclusive: Fulham 0-1 Spurs - the numbers
A resilient and determined performance from the team saw us take all three points in Thursday evening’s Premier League encounter with Fulham as we ran out 1-0 winners.
An own goal from the Whites' Tosin Adarabioyo on 19 minutes proved to be the difference between the two sides as, following a swift counter-attacking move, the defender diverted Dele's deft flick past his own goalkeeper and into the back of the net. We then had to show our resolve to keep the in-form west London outfit at bay and earn our second league victory in five days.
Here’s a look at some of the key statistics and numbers behind the game...
Line of defence
3 - We have now kept three consecutive clean sheets in all competitions for the first time since January (3-0 Leeds United, 2-0 Brentford, 5-0 Marine). We have also kept back-to-back clean sheets in the league for the first time since December (0-0 Chelsea and 2-0 Arsenal).
10 - Hugo Lloris recorded his 10th clean sheet of the campaign - he has now registered double figures in terms of shutouts in all bar one of his nine seasons in north London to date. That was last term as he returned six clean sheets, although the goalkeeper did miss 21 games that term through injury.
3 - Davinson Sanchez has helped us to three clean sheets in our last five Premier League games. It is also the first time the Colombian international has helped us to back-to-back clean sheets in the top flight since October, 2018 (a run of three - 2-0 Huddersfield Town, 1-0 Cardiff City and 1-0 West Ham United).
Cottage highs
6 - We have now won each of our last six league games on the road at Craven Cottage.
11 - We have taken all three points in 11 of our last 12 Premier League meetings with Fulham (D1 L1).
16 - Only against West Ham (25) have we won more Premier League London derbies than versus Fulham (16).
7 - We are now unbeaten in our last seven games against Fulham (W6 D1).

Other notable numbers
