Harry Redknapp's honeymoon period as Tottenham manager came to a crashing end at Fulham, as a calamitous piece of goalkeeper from Heurelho Gomes laid the foundations for their 2-1 defeat.
Roy Hodgson's Cottagers were much the better side over the 90 minutes but it will be Gomes' gaffe rather than their excellence that will dominate the back pages.
There seemed to be little danger when Simon Davies' clipped in a nothing delivery from deep in the 35th minute, but via the slightest of deflections off Jonathan Woodgate, Spurs' goalkeeper somehow managed to allow the ball to slip through his hands.
After the half-time break there was scant improvement from Redknapp's side as Andy Johnson fired in from close range to punish some more ponderous defending 20 minutes from time.
Spurs substitute Fraizer Campbell made for a nervous finale when he finished well nine minutes from time, for his third goal in two games, but this time there was to be no comeback as Redknapp's revolution slowed to a halt.
