Kieran Tripper says his teammates advised him not to take the free-kick from which he scored an amazing goal to put Tottenham ahead against Fulham.

The fullback admits he had doubts about it himself, but found a way to score only his second Premier League goal for Spurs so far.

"Some of the boys saw me shaping up to take it and said, 'Is it not a bit too far out?'" Tripper explained.

"That made me question my decision and think, 'Is it a bit too far out?' But the decision had already been made and I tried to block the keeper's view as much as possible by telling the boys to get in the wall.

"I am happy it went in. I think it was a crucial time to get a goal, no matter who scored it, because they were getting on top of the game.

"They had scored and gained a lot of momentum, but I think my goal threw them a bit. It was a massive goal in terms of the game.

"Fulham are a very good side and pass it well. I think they will do really well this season."
