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.

Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs are looking to try and close the gap to the top four to three points with a win here. Since the restart after the World Cup, they've only won one of their five Premier League games (D1 L3) - they've lost their last two in a row, squandering a 2-0 lead against Manchester City on Thursday in a 4-2 defeat. A victory for Fulham today would see them leapfrog Spurs into fifth. They suffered their first defeat in all competitions since the restart last time out with a late 1-0 loss to Newcastle United. They'd won all five of their games prior to that.
