Spurs ran up a two-goal lead as Gareth Bale's shot was diverted into his own net by Chris Baird on ten minutes before Aaron Lennon scored in first-half injury time, reports ESPNsoccernet.
Fulham fought back, though, and after a Younes Kaboul own goal in the 57th minute, the hosts went close on numerous occasions, including a string of golden opportunities at the death.
Spurs finally killed the game off in the 95th minute when Emmanuel Adebayor set up Jermain Defoe for 3-1.
The win over their London rivals helped Spurs move into fifth in Premier League.
Bolton picked up their first home Premier League win of the season at the sixth attempt by thrashing Stoke 5-0.
Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic made two early errors. The Bosnian picked up a backpass and then compounded the mistake by allowing Ivan Klasnic to quickly take the free-kick from which Kevin Davies opened the scoring after two minutes.
Begovic then slipped when attemping a clearance, sending the ball straight to Chris Eagles, who drilled in from a tight angle on 22 minutes.
Eagles played a pivotal role in the Trotters' third, which arrived on the hour mark, producing the pass from which Mark Davies fed scorer Klasnic. Eagles completed a brace ten minutes later, conjuring a dinked finish having collected Klasnic's through ball.
Stoke's misery heightened further when Klasnic added a fifth, stooping to nod in a close-range header after David Wheater's header was not cleared.
In the early kick-off, David Edwards struck the killer blow as Wolves beat relegation rivals Wigan 3-1 at Molineux.
With both sides languishing at the wrong end of the table, Wolves claimed their first win in nine league matches to hand a welcome boost to manager Mick McCarthy, while Wigan have now lost their last eight Premier League encounters.
Jamie O'Hara's first-half strike was cancelled out by Ben Watson as the two sides went into the break level-pegging. But on only his third start of the season, Edwards found a way past dogged Wigan keeper Ali Al Habsi before Stephen Ward sealed all three points.
