Robbie Keane and Tom Huddlestone grabbed two goals each for Spurs, while Clint Dempsey replied for the visitors. Jermain Defoe completed the scoring at the death.

But it was King's first appearance of the season that gave home fans a belated Christmas treat while Fulham also had Moritz Volz dismissed.

Antti Niemi had to save at full-stretch when Dimitar Berbatov headed Steed Malbranque's cross towards the bottom corner - but Spurs were not made to wait long for their opener, in the 27th minute.

Pascal Chimbonda's header found Malbranque in plenty of space on the edge of the area. His shot crashed off the post and Keane tucked away the rebound with a first-time finish.

Fulham were granted a lifeline on the hour mark when Dempsey bundled in from close range.

Hameur Bouazza, a half-time substitute, had his cross met by Dempsey - his first effort was saved by Paul Robinson but the rebound came off the American's arm and trickled in.

But the two-goal cushion was restored a minute later when Keane tapped in with his knee after Berbatov had flicked on Jamie O'Hara's corner.

Huddlestone added the fourth with 19 minutes remaining, flicking up Aaron Lennon's pass and volleying into the far post from the edge of the area.

With the points safe, King was then taken off for Adel Taarabt for the rest of the victory. Volz was dismissed late on for two bookings, then Defoe's goal came when Huddlestone powered through and laid the ball back to the substitute.
