End of 2nd Half
FT
The whistle goes and Spurs hold on for a win that pulls them back into the race for Champions League qualification. Fulham were impressive, particularly after the break, but defeat means that Scott Parker’s side remain three points from safety.
93'
That’s superb from Kane. He picks the ball up and holds onto it as he moves into the Fulham half, keeping hold of the ball under pressure and ultimately drawing a foul that may well run out the clock.
93'
Tottenham hack clear and it’s real backs-to-the-wall stuff now for the visitors.
92'
Lamela weaves his way into the corner and eats up some more crucial seconds. The Argentine has been excellent since he came on.
90'
There will be four minutes of added time and still Fulham push. Spurs are close to getting a win that would move them within three points of the top four, but they barely deserve it on this second-half showing.
88'
So close to an own goal! Mitrovic has a shot across goal and Doherty gets a touch, almost sending it into his own net. There was nobody behind him, he didn’t need to go for that.
84'
Kane wastes a great chance for Spurs, the second of the night that you’d normally expect him to put away. Will that come back to bite the visitors?
82'
Still Fulham press. You’d have to feel for them if they end this game without a goal, they’ve been excellent, particularly since the break.
80'
Lamela makes a classy run along the byline and cuts the ball back towards Kane, but it’s well cut out. That would have been a stunning assist with a trademark roll over the top of the ball from the Argentine in the middle of that run.
78'
Son mishits a corner quite badly, but Fulham fail to deal with the low delivery and the ball scoots all the way through the box and away to safety.
78'
Can Fulham grab the equaliser that their play probably deserves? We'll find out in a little over 12 minutes' time.
75'
There's a change for Fulham too as on comes Bryan.

Fulham have had 88% of possession in the last five minutes. 88%!
73'
Andersen plays a delicious crossfield pass out to Lookman. But the cross into the box is met by the head of Davies.
72'
It’s all Fulham right now. Spurs just can’t get hold of the ball and it really feels like an equaliser isn’t far away.
71'
Fulham make another change and introduce Mitrovic up top.

Maja almost gets his head to a teasing cross as he loses his marker in the box, but the flag is up.

You wouldn’t think from watching this that Fulham are in the bottom three. They’re playing some great football and have Spurs on the ropes.
68'
You can understand the logic behind those changes, but given that it’s Mourinho I wouldn’t be surprised if he turns it into a talking point of some description if his team go on to drop points here.
