The game, however, was marred by Bafetimbi Gomis's collapse after just seven minutes, the striker appearing to faint near the halfway line following Tottenham's opening goal.
Nacer Chadli gave Spurs an early lead, before the game was haulted to allow Gomes to receive treatment. Ki equalised soon after the restart, finishing from a tight angle after the hosts failed to clear a free kick.
Garry Monk rejigged his formation for the second half, but to little avail as Ryan Mason and Andros Townsend soon put the hosts two goals ahead, the first a smart finish from inside the area before the winger ran the length of the pitch before firing high into the oppositite corner.
Gylfi Sigurdsson added a late consolation to set up a nervy final few minutes but Spurs held on for a much-needed win to boost their top-four hopes.
