Harry Kane became Tottenham’s all-time joint-top scorer and boosted their Champions League hopes with a goal that defeated Fulham.
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.
