    I can't say Tottenham have got away with one today, but for quite a long period when Fulham got back into the game, they might have been left to rue those missed chances.

    That is the difference between the best teams in the Championship and the Premier League. It is a huge step up. Fulham have not played bad, but Tottenham have just ground it out.

    Harry Kane

    It's a football miracle! A goal in August for Harry Kane!

    Erik Lamela, on moments earlier for Lucas Moura, holds up the ball as Kane races into the area before feeding a pass to the England striker. Kane then wrongfoots his marker before placing the ball just inside the far post.

    After 14 games without a goal in August, the curse has finally been broken.

    Kieran Trippier

    Deja vu!

    It's flashback to the World Cup as Kieran Trippier bangs in a stunning free-kick. The full-back - who scored a memorable goal for England in the semi-finals in Russia, powers in a fierce drive from 25 yards to regain the lead for Tottenham. Lovely strike.

    Tottenham almost gifted a goal as Fabri momentarily appears to have smeared butter on his gloves as the ball slips out of his grasp. He scrambles after it and manages to gather just as Kieran Trippier threatened to pounce.

    Got to be 2-1 to Tottenham? Fabri gets his finger tips to a cross but succeeds in only pushing it to Dele Alli. The Fulham keeper is on the floor as Alli places his shot but Maxime le Marchand gets back on to the goalline to clear.

    Tottenham look to Kieran Trippier to provide some relief from a Fulham side that have their tail up. Harry Kane picks out the full back with a peach of a ball but Fulham are quick to close Trippier down this time.

    Lots of noise from the Fulham fans now and there's a bit more confidence about their side's play after that equaliser.

    Joe Bryan strides forward before shooting and the ball deflects behind for a corner.

    It is a comedy goal, but it is brilliant in the end. It is in the corridor of uncertainty. It is fortunate, but the ball in deserves a goal in itself.
