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.

WIDE! Fulham fail to clear their lines after another set-piece and when it's curled back in by Hojbjerg, Kulusevski nods it down to Kane. He spins before taking aim, but it flashes wide of the near post.

GOOD CHANCE! The referee plays the advantage after Tete is brought down, and Fulham quickly switch it out to the left. Willian pulls it back to Cairney, who curls it to the far post, but Mitrovic heads his effort wide.

Pereira swings the corner in for Fulham and Spurs just can't clear their lines. Ream goes to ground under pressure from Kulusevski, but the referee immediately waves away the penalty claims.
