Tottenham Hotspur manager Igor Tudor says "there was something" in his side's performance against Fulham but they "need more of everything" if they want to survive a relegation battle.
MATCH REPORT: Fulham 2-1 Tottenham
Since the start of last season no player has scored more top-flight goals in London derbies than Fulham's Harry Wilson (10 - level with Eberechi Eze), who is the second player to score home and away against Spurs for the Cottagers in a Premier League season after Clint Dempsey in 2007-08.
Fulham have completed a league double over Tottenham Hotspur for only the second time, also doing so in the 2003-04 campaign â they have also equalled their longest winning run versus Spurs in the league (three).

Struggling Spurs are the only team in the top flight without a league win in 2026.
When the Ossie Ardiles-led side suffered a similar 10-match winless run 22 years ago, they finished 15th and avoided relegation by just three points.
Croatian Igor Tudor has a reputation for getting teams out of trouble, but Spurs have now lost both games in charge - and look frail defensively, while struggling to create a large amount of chances.
They only had one shot on target, which was Richarlison's goal, and more clinical finishing from Fulham would have sealed the outcome a lot earlier.
In his first news conference, Tudor said he was "100%" confident Spurs would stay up.
However, the second-half capitulation against Arsenal and the Craven Cottage loss will be a reality check and show just how much work he has to do.
Apart from a Pape Sarr effort in the 89th minute which went into the side-netting and a blocked shot from Joao Palhinha in the sixth minute of added time, Spurs rarely looked like getting a leveller.
Norway winger Oscar Bobb makes his first Premier League start for Fulham since moving from Manchester City at the end of the January transfer window.
He replaces Kevin, while Fulham are without Joachim Andersen, with Issa Diop coming in for the only other change from the side that began the 3-1 win at Sunderland.
Fulham XI: Leno, Sessegnon, Bassey, Diop, Tete, Berge, Iwobi, Bobb, Smith Rowe, Wilson, Jimenez.
Subs: Leconte, Castagne, Robinson, Reed, Cairney, Cuenca, King, Chukwueze, Muniz.
Tottenham are able to include Pedro Porro for the first time since 24 January with the defender having recovered from a hamstring injury.
That is one of two changes from the 11 that began the 4-1 loss to Arsenal with Dominic Solanke starting up front in an attacking alteration, with midfielder Pape Matar Sarr on the bench.
Tottenham XI: Vicario, Van de Ven, Dragusin, Palhinha, Porro, Bissouma, Gallagher, Gray, Kolo Muani, Simons, Solanke.
We go again
Yep, that's right, we're back again for more Premier League fun.
We've got four huge games coming your way today, with implications for all of the league table.
No time to waste then!
St Totteringham's Day might not be that well known nationally - but for Arsenal fans it is an opportunity for more north London bragging rights.
It is the name given to the day on which it becomes mathematically impossible for Tottenham Hotspur to finish above Arsenal in the Premier League.
And, look away Spurs fans, because that day looks set to arrive earlier than ever.
If relegation-threatened Tottenham fail to win at Fulham on Sunday (14:00 GMT), Gunners fans can celebrate St Totteringham's Day once more. Whatever the Spurs result, Arsenal would guarantee it with a win against Chelsea later in the day (16:30).
A play on the words 'Tottenham' and 'tottering', the phrase was introduced by Arsenal fans website 'Arseweb' in the early 2000s but gained more national prominence about 2010.
Gunners fans are still celebrating their emphatic win in the north London derby a week ago and will revel in the idea of some early St Totteringham's Day celebrations - the previous earliest was on 9 March in 2008.
The moment - if it happens - just highlights the current gap between the bitter rivals.
Arsenal top the Premier League, while Tottenham are fighting for their top-flight lives with interim boss Igor Tudor having replaced Thomas Frank this month.
The Gunners finished second last season for the third successive campaign, 36 points ahead of 17th-placed Spurs. St Totteringham's Day was confirmed on 3 April.
With 10 matches remaining for Arsenal and 11 for Tottenham, the gap between the two is already at 32 points. Only in five previous league seasons has it been bigger by the end of a campaign.
The biggest gap between the two sides was 45 points in the 2003-04 Invincibles season when Arsenal won the league with 90 points.
The run of six successive seasons in which Tottenham finished above Arsenal must seem a lifetime ago to both sets of fans. It actually only came to an end in 2022.
Since then, Spurs have sacked three permanent managers, while Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta - in charge for the past six years - has developed his side into consistent title contenders.
The most points Spurs have ever finished above Arsenal is 14 in 2017-18 - the season before they went on to reach the Champions League final.
Tottenham have had a week to get over suffering a second 4-1 defeat of the season to arch-rivals Arsenal. That chastening loss was a baptism of fire for new interim boss Igor Tudor, who admitted on Thursday that his job at hand is harder than he expected.
While little blame can be attached to Tudor for that defeat, Tottenham's despondent fans were left to stew on the Gunners securing their biggest away win at Spurs since 1978 and winning both north London league derbies in a season by three or more goals for only the second time after the 1934-35 campaign.
Tottenham are the only side in the top-flight without a league victory in 2026 with their winless run now standing at nine matches.
Only during the chaotic reign of Ossie Ardiles in early 1994 have they gone 10 Premier League fixtures without a win.
Tudor opted for a 3-5-2 formation against Arsenal that proved to be highly unsuccessful for his predecessor Thomas Frank. Spurs have won just one of their last 10 league games when playing with three centre-backs and none of their last six.
The Croat will be desperate to avoid becoming only the second Tottenham boss to lose his first two games in charge after Martin Jol, while it is unthinkable to Spurs supporters that he could become the first manager in Premier League history to concede four or more goals in his opening two matches.
Things are far more serene down by the Thames for Fulham. Their excellent 3-1 victory at Sunderland ended a three-match losing run in style and reignited their bid for European qualification.
Marco Silva's side head into Sunday's match full of confidence especially in light of their recent record against Tottenham. Three wins in their last four league meetings is as many as they managed in their previous 26 versus Spurs.
March has not been a happy hunting ground of late for the west Londoners with just four wins in their last 18 league games in the third month of the year. However, two of those victories have come in their last two home games with Tottenham.
Should they win, it would mark only their second ever league double over Spurs following the 2003-04 Premier League campaign.
Veteran striker Raul Jimenez took his top-flight tally for the season to eight goals with a brace at the Stadium of Light that encompassed a trademark header. Since arriving in the Premier League at the start of the 2018-19 season only three players have scored more top-flight goals with their head than the Mexican's 18.
His second came via a spot-kick, preserving his status of having the best 100% record in the Premier League of players to take 10 or more penalties with a perfect 13 from 13.
On Kevin, who has injured his fifth metatarsal and will be out for "some weeks": "A big blow for us. Slowly we start to see the reason he was brought in, the quality was becoming more difficult for opponents to control."
Silva is content that he has enough solutions for Kevin's absence.
Sasa Lukic and Samuel Chukwueze could be in contention but Fulham will take a decision following the final session before the game.
On Oscar Bobb: "He has settled very well, top guy, very professional. We are going to see his qualities slowly, because he is a top talented player."
On winning away at Sunderland: "It was a key game for us. It was an important moment in the season for us to stand up and show character. We know what we want for the end of the season, we will fight very hard to achieve it."
Silva is open to conversations with Raul Jimenez regarding another season at Fulham: "We are pleased with him. It's been a difficult season for him in terms of the load. At his age, the way he is helping the team - it's been a good season."
On facing Spurs: "The position they're in is below their standards. Their season has not been the best but I have enough maturity and experience to know that these kinds of games can be tricky and not to underestimate a group of players who want to react. Let's hope we don't give them the day to react."
On the threat of a new manager bounce: "When you face coaches who have been in the job already, they might have a different plan and you have to be ready from the first moment of the game. The change of manager won't be an excuse."
