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.

Robinson steps in to nick it off Kulusevski, but then can't find a way down the left. He pulls it back to Pereira, who looks to clip the ball towards Mitrovic, but Hojbjerg blocks it.

Dier stayed down holding his head after a coming together with Palhinha in the box during that last free-kick. He's going through the checks, but it looks like he'll be able to carry on.

Romero is pulling at Mitrovic and Pereira swings in another great delivery from a set-piece. Spurs just can't clear their lines and it's eventually Palhinha that heads over.

There are big shouts for a penalty from the Fulham fans. Perisic stretches and his boot is high as he attempts to clear it. De Cordova-Reid ducks out of the way though, and it's a goal-kick

After some more problems with the referee's microphone pack, Fulham are able to get us back underway for the second half!

Despite having the lead, Conte won't be too happy; his side made a sloppy start to the game and it took them until the end of the half to start showing any real threat. He'll be looking to pick up where they left off. Fulham don't deserve to be behind and Silva will likely be urging for more of the same as they look to get back into this one.
