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.

GOOD SAVE! Fulham are pressing higher and higher upfield and Solomon cuts inside before curling a shot towards the far post. It takes a slight deflection off Emerson and Lloris has to tip it wide.

Mitrovic has stayed down after being clipped by Bentancur, and it's not looking good for the forward. It's another problem with his ankle, and the medical team are on, but substitutes are being readied in case they're needed.

Richarlison flicks on the long ball and it looks like Kulusevski has a clear run at goal through Fulham's half. Diop reacts quickly though, stepping in to take it off his toe just in time.

Robinson has space down the left and swings a good cross to the edge of the box for Pereira. He can't sort his feet out quickly enough though, and it bounces off his side and straight into Lloris' gloves.
