Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lewis Holtby has hailed his winning goal against Fulham in a 2-1 victory as a "dream come true".

Tottenham went behind at Craven Cottage when Ashkan Dejagah drove a shot into the back of the net with 57 minutes on the clock.

 


But Andre Villas-Boas' men bounced back as first Vlad Chiriches (73rd minute) and then Lewis Holtby (82nd minute) put Spurs into a 2-1 lead.

And Holtby, who is approaching one year at White Hart Lane, cut a delighted figure after handing his side a vital three points.

"All week I said I have to shoot more and I did into the top corner", the Germany international said via the BBC.

"You can't imagine how happy I am. It is a dream come true.

"We had so much bad things going on, so much negativity into the team. It was a great response from the team to come back. That is what the team needed.

"I hope we are back on track and get back to a winning streak."

Tottenham's win moves them up to sixth in the Premier League with 24 points from 14 games.
