The Cottagers delivered an impressive performance for roughly 20 minutes against Spurs, which was sufficient to secure a 2-1 victory.
Having earned only one point from their away matches this season, their previous away league win also came against a team managed by Frank – his Brentford side back in May. Remarkably, the last time Fulham triumphed at Tottenham was 12 years ago at the former White Hart Lane.

Samuel Chukwueze made his first start for the club after joining on loan from AC Milan this summer, and Spurs had difficulty containing him.
The 26-year-old Nigerian played a pivotal role in setting up the opening goal for Kenny Tete, hit the post, and nearly scored again after maneuvering around the goalkeeper.
Fulham displayed impressive composure in capitalizing on a poor pass from Vicario. Raul Jimenez pressured the keeper, forcing a panic clearance that fell to Harry Wilson.
The winger took his time and linked up with Josh King, ultimately scoring from an impressive distance of 36.6 meters.
This goal registered as the second-longest in the Premier League this season, both long-range strikes occurring on the same day, with Tyler Adams having netted a 43.3-meter goal for Bournemouth.
Although Fulham remained silent in terms of shots between the 13th and 73rd minute, Kevin nearly clinched a late third goal.
