Kamara exposes shaky Spurs

Spurs had been ahead since the 11th minute through Younes Kaboul, with Dimitar Berbatov adding a second.

Clint Dempsey pulled one back but Spurs looked set to take the points when Gareth Bale put them ahead again, only for Kamara to strike when it looked like time had run out.

With Spurs boss Martin Jol's future remaining the hot-topic following the infamous meeting between Spurs officials and Juande Ramos two weeks ago, failure to win adds to the concerns.

Spurs were into their stride and ahead after 11 minutes, exposing Antti Niemi's lack of match-sharpness in the goalkeeper's first appearance of the season. Niemi made a mess of Bale's inswinging corner, his attempted clearance falling to Kaboul, who tapped in from a yard out for his first Spurs goal.

There were jitters at the other end too, with Paul Robinson almost gifting Fulham an immediate equaliser. Robinson, whose position as England's first-choice has been questioned following his blunder against Germany, fumbled a straightforward cross from Hameur Bouazza. Kaboul's clearance hit Steven Davis and went over the bar, saving Robinson from further embarrassment.

Spurs took advantage of their reprieve, with Berbatov adding their second in the 28th minute. Pascal Chimbonda's throw failed to find a Spurs team-mate but Davis' header went straight to Keane. The Spurs skipper unlocked the Fulham defence with a first-time volley and Berbatov took one touch with his head and lashed through Niemi.

However, Dempsey gave Fulham a glimmer of hope three minutes before the break when he thundered a header in from Simon Davies' corner.

Spurs' third goal came just after the hour mark. Tom Huddlestone fed Keane on the halfway line and his pass sent Bale racing through to send Niemi the wrong way with his finish. Spurs thought they should have had a penalty shortly after when Dempsey blocked with his arms.

Smertin's long-range effort with 13 minutes remaining took a wicked deflection off Ricardo Rocha and flew over Robinson and in, offering more hope for Fulham. And Kamara levelled matters with a minute remaining with an overhead kick that dipped over Robinson.
