– Harry Kane became Tottenham’s all-time joint-top scorer as his goal defeated Fulham and boosted his side’s Champions League hopes.
– The England captain hit a sweet strike into the bottom corner from just outside the box with one of their few chances in the first half.
– That was his 266th goal for Spurs, levelling the record Jimmy Greaves set between 1961 and 1970.

– Kane could have broken the record in the second half but his close-range header was tipped over well by Bernd Leno.
– This was only a second win in six Premier League games for Antonio Conte’s side, who are now just three points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.
– Fulham had plenty of chances to score before Kane’s opener with Hugo Lloris keeping out Bobby Decordova-Reid’s long-range drive and Harrison Reed’s snap-shot.
– But this is now a second defeat in a row and a missed chance to go above Spurs into fifth place.
– The game had kicked off 18 minutes late following travel problems for fans in the area and then issues with referee Paul Tierney’s communication devices.
