Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
All the action from Craven Cottage
Harry Kane became Tottenham Hotspur’s joint all-time record goalscorer with the winner in his side’s 1-0 victory at Fulham in the Premier League on Monday.
Tottenham had been second-best in the first half at Craven Cottage but Kane produced a trademark finish on the stroke of halftime to notch his 266th goal for the Londoners.
Kane’s effort drew him level with the late Jimmy Greaves whose 266 goals came in 379 games. England skipper Kane reached the total in 415 appearances.
Fulham were the better side until Kane’s right-footed finish with Harrison Reed, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Willian all going close to giving the hosts the lead.
Kane even had the chance to break the record after halftime but headed straight at Fulham keeper Bernd Leno.
Victory revived Tottenham’s top-four hopes, leaving them in fifth place with 36 points, three behind Newcastle United and Manchester United who have both played a game less.

Harry Kane's 266th goal for Tottenham seals a 1-0 win for them over Fulham. The hosts were the better side at the start of the game, with De Cordova-Reid, Willian and Reed all forcing him into good saves. Just before the break though, Kane equalled Jimmy Greaves' tally with a lovely curling finish, making him Spurs' all-time joint-top scorer. He almost broke the record in the second half but was denied by a brilliant reflex save by Leno. Solomon had a great chance to equalise late on, but Lloris made another fine stop to protect his clean sheet.

It's a lovely ball over the top from Wilson to pick out Palhinha, and he chips it over Romero with a lovely bit of skill. His final touch gets away from him though and Dier is able to tidy up.

Hojbjerg steps in to break up a Fulham counter and drives into the box. He looks hesitant to take on the shot himself but ends up holding onto it for too long as his pullback is straight to Ream.
