The Australian's side made it two wins in the space of a week after a resounding 5-1 rout of Hearts in midweek.

QPR carried the greater attacking threat during the first half. Rayan Kolli's rasping 25-yard effort was tipped on to the crossbar by Brandon Austin, while Michael Frey was denied by the offside flag.

However, Spurs broke through four minutes before the break. Bissouma played a neat one-two with Dejan Kulusevski and glided away from a couple of challenges, before rounding Paul Nardi and scoring.

Son Heung-min and Timo Werner went close to doubling the lead before half-time, while Nardi denied Mikey Moore and James Maddison in the second half.

However, Spurs did put the game to bed with three minutes remaining as Scarlett, moments after coming on as a substitute, turned home Moore's cross at the far post.
