    GOAL - Tottenham 1-1 Fulhampublished at 52 mins

    Aleksandar Mitrovic

    The equaliser! And Fulham's first goal back in the top flight.

    Clever bit of improvisation as Aleksandar Mitrovic fails to meet a cross from Joe Bryan but Ryan Sessegnon is there to tap the ball back into the middle of the box and Mitrovic, on the floor, reacts quickly to nod in.

    That is much better from Fulham. Mitrovic hit it early and caught everyone out and is very unfortunate.

    Moments later, Dele Alli hits a volley at goal, it's got power but is straight at keeper Fabri.

    Almost the perfect start to the second half as Aleksandar Mitrovic stabs an effort onto the post after a poor clearance by Jan Vertonghen.

    The visitors have certainly shown glimpses, Tottenham will want one more to feel comfortable.

    It's been a busy return to action for Kieran Trippier. Almost all of Tottenham's attacks have come down his side side of the pitch and full-back had a hand in the opener.

    Tottenham 1-0 Fulham

    Tottenham may be winning but Mauricio Pochettino is still not happy. He's deep in conversation with referee Anthony Taylor as they make their way down the tunnel, seemingly unhappy with Harry Kane's strike being ruled out early doors.

    Welcome to the Premier League. Fulham lost last week to Crystal Palace and they are now losing again. They have some good players, but this is the Premier League.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 18 August 2018

    Tottenham 1-0 Fulham

    Fulham forward Aboubakar Kamara warns Tottenham not to loosen up a bit after that goal as he breaks away down the right but his low ball is stabbed away as the half-time whistle goes.

    I can't believe I just celebrated a Tottenham goal. It was a great finish on the edge of the box by Lucas Moura. He has had chances so he will be happy he finished the hardest one.

    A fabulous strike on his left foot. He has wasted a few chances, but this time it is brilliant.

    That will change the game as Tottenham can now play their football, but Fulham will need to change their gameplan.

    Lucas Moura

    What a way to score your first Premier League goal!

    Kieran Trippier flicks the ball inside the area back for Lucas Moura, who delightfully steers an effort beyond Fabri's dive into the far corner.

    That will have come as a relief for the home fans, who were perhaps starting to fear this was going to turn into one of those days.

    Mad scramble up the other end as Kieran Trippier's cross is only half cleared, Ben Davies' shot is blocked before Trippier thumps the loose ball over the bar.

  14. CLOSE!published at 38 mins

    Tottenham 0-0 Fulham

    What a chance for Fulham! Jean Michael Seri plays a beaut of a ball over the Tottenham defence for Ryan Sessegnon, who brings the ball under control but gives Hugo Lloris just enough time to close down the gap and the Spurs keeper smothers his shot.

    I'm quite surprised to see Fulham affording Kieran Trippier a lot of space on the right. He's hugging the touchline and Spurs' attacks almost always end up with him by the time the hosts get into the final third.

    Mads: The Spurs kit is truly great - looks like the players have all drawn their shorts up high above the waistline.

    Coolisha: Tottenham look like school boys with their shirts tucked in. Their finishing has been school boyish too.

    Christian Eriksen's powerful free-kick from 30 yards forces a diving save from Fabri as Spurs notch up another effort on target. Decent save.

    Fulham have invested a lot of money this summer and need to live up to it. Putting Andre Schurrle on the bench is a very poor decision. They need to win.

    If Tottenham don't make their domination count then they risk getting caught out, just as they almost do now as Hugo Lloris saves unconvincingly from Tom Cairney's well-struck effort from distance.

    All but two of Tottenham's players are camped inside the Fulham half. The hosts will surely make this domination count soon?
