"He's an amazing player" - Kane one goal away from Greaves record

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.

CHANCE! Fulham win a free-kick on the right this time, and it's a great delivery from Pereira to the edge of the six-yard box. Palhinha and Diop seem to get in each other's way, and it's headed over.

SAVE! Bentancur is caught on the ball this time, and Fulham surge forward on the counter. Pereira squeezes a pass out to Willian, who drills a shot on target and Lloris stands tall to parry it away.

After a series of Spurs corners, Leno plucks the ball out of the air and tries to set Fulham on a quick counter. Palhinha hits his throughball straight against Hojbjerg though, and the visitors are back in possession.

SAVE! Robinson tries to shield the ball out of play, but it bounces off the corner flag and straight to Kulusevski's feet. He turns before sliding it through to Emerson, who forces Leno into a save at his near post.

Palhinha is now down and it looks like a problem with his eye. He's quickly back to his feet after treatment, and he's able to carry on.

CHANCE! Kane skips past two Fulham defenders before the space opens up ahead of him and he decides to have a go from a long way out. It swerves through the air and sails over the bar.

Son drives forward with the ball before slotting it through to Kulusevski in the box. Diop gets across, accidentally catching him in the face as he holds him off, and he stays down in need of treatment.
