HARRY IN HURRY TO PUT IT RIGHT

-

HARRY WINKS says Tottenham need a victory at Craven Cottage today to boost morale following Thursday’s 1-0 Europa League defeat to Gent.

The surprise loss in Belgium means Spurs have now managed only two victories in six matches, having won their previous seven games in a row.

And Winks believes today’s FA Cup Fifth-Round tie at Craven Cottage gives Mauricio Pochettino’s side the perfect opportunit­y to bounce back against Championsh­ip outfit Fulham.

Not that Winks will be taking anything for granted in the London derby.

“We’ve been in situations like this for the last two seasons and we’ve always come out and turned it around,” said Winks, 21, who is enjoying a breakthrou­gh season at White Hart Lane as third pick in central midfield behind only Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama.

“It wasn’t the result we wanted on Thursday but we want to put that right against Fulham this weekend.

“Nothing has changed – we are still approachin­g every game the same.

“But just the last two games we haven’t been firing.” MIKE DEVONISH
