• 

  FULHAM PLAYER RATINGS: Bernd Leno – 7 Made some crucial saves to keep the home side in the game, using some fine acrobatics to keep out what appeared to be a destined Kane goal in the second half. Getty

• 

  Kenny Tete – 6 Offered plenty of enticing deliveries into the direction of Mitrovic, but his side were unable to make the most of the chances. Reuters

• 

  Issa Diop – 7 Despite the goal, it was a solid performance for the Frenchman at the back. Looked calm and composed in the heart of defence. AFP

• 

  Tim Ream – 6 Could have done better for Kane’s opener, as he gave the forward a too much space leading up to the goal. Apart from that, a solid outing. AP

• 

  Antonee Robinson – 6 Worked hard alongside Tete on the other flank to get the ball into the box as quickly as possible to pile the pressure on the Spurs backline. Getty

• 

  Joao Palhinha – 6 Did well to nullify some of the threats presented by Antonio Conte’s side, Son in particular. Struggled at times to progress the ball forward. Reuters

• 

  Harrison Reed – 5 Provided the occasional late run into the box going forward but struggled to retain the ball in the middle of the park and was poor defensively. AP

• 

  Bobby Decordova-Reid – 5 Linked up well with Tete on the right wing, which caused problems for Spurs. Lacked composure when it came to the final pass or decision. AP

• 

  Andreas Pereira – 4 The former Manchester United playmaker struggled to create anything to threaten the opposition. AFP

• 

  Willian – 4 Tried hard to get himself into the game but the Brazilian was starved of opportunities throughout. Reuters

• 

  Aleksandar Mitrovic – 6 His teammates worked hard to give the Serbian an opportunity to stamp his mark on this London derby, but the forward had limited chances. AP

• 

  SUBS: Tom Cairney (Harrison Reed 65’) – 6 Provided some fresh legs in the midfield but didn’t do enough to get his side anything from the game. Reuters

• 

  Manor Solomon (Kenny Tete 79’) – N/A The Israeli midfielder added another dimension into Fulham’s attack but arrived on the pitch with too little time. AP

• 

  Harry Wilson (Willian 87’) N/A – Came on with minutes to go and didn’t have many opportunities to affect the game. Reuters

• 

  Carlos Vinicius (Bobby Decordova-Reid 87’) N/A – Offered energy late on but not enough to get a late equaliser against his former club. Reuters

• 

  TOTTENHAM PLAYER RATINGS: Hugo Lloris – 7 Collected several Fulham deliveries in what was a busy first half for the captain. Had less to do in the second half, but remained concentrated. A much-needed clean sheet for the Frenchman. AP

• 

  Cristian Romero – 6 Shaky in the opening spells but settled into the game eventually and looked much steadier on the ball as the game wore on. Booked for a high foot on Mitrovic. Getty

• 

  Eric Dier – 8 Handled the physical challenge of Mitrovic extremely well and looked assured at the back, a solid centre-half display. AFP

• 

  Ben Davies – 7 A steady display from the Welshman. He rarely seemed out of position, and he restrained Fulham’s attacking talent to few chances. PA

• 

  Emerson Royal – 6 Did well to get forward down the right flank and offer plenty of energy in attack. Saw an effort saved by Leno. However, he appeared to lack confidence defensively. Reuters

• 

  Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – 6 Started the game seemingly rattled by Fulham’s press, but grew into the game after the deadlock was broken. PA

• 

  Rodrigo Bentancur – 7 Bossed the midfield in all departments; his composure and confidence on the ball made a big difference. Getty

• 

  Ivan Perisic – 5 A clean sheet which will please the wing back but overall, a fairly quiet night for the Croatian. Getty

• 

  Dejan Kulusevski – 7 Looked dangerous driving towards the Fulham defence, though the home side did well to prevent him from creating many clear cut chances. Getty

• 

  Son Heung-min – 5 Despite providing the assist for Kane, this was another lacklustre showing from Son. He just couldn’t seem to get much going in attack. Getty

• 

  Harry Kane – 8 A fine turn and finish for his side’s opener gave Spurs the lead and equalled Jimmy Greaves’s record for Spurs’ all time goal scorer. He came close to breaking it in the second half but for a save from Leno. A complete striker’s performance. Reuters

• 

  SUBS: Richarlison (Son 75’) – 6 Plenty of energy when on but didn’t have enough time on the pitch to impact the game. AFP

• 

  Yves Bissouma (Kulusevski 90’) N/A – Came on in the dying minutes and added some welcomed physicality for Spurs. PA

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 London club.

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.
