Tottenham coach Joe Jordan feels victory at Fulham was a sign of their improvements.

When manager Harry Redknapp arrived at White Hart Lane in 2008, Spurs were positioned at the foot of the Premier League table and Jordan insists their form on the road has underpinned their success since.

"We were losing games away, games that we were winning at home. That's why it took us a long time to get away from the bottom," said Jordan.

"But you can see the improvement and progress that has been made in recent years. That was shown against Fulham.

"We've played some excellent football and that's why we've had such a good run recently (now seven wins in eight Premier League games).

"But against Fulham it wasn't excellent football and we didn't play particularly well in the second half, but had to dig in.

"You're not going to get anywhere in the game unless you show that. That attitude, plus a bit of good fortune, got us the points."
