"He's an amazing player" - Kane one goal away from Greaves record

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 Londoners.

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.

Palhinha slid in with a very late and heavy tackle on Hojbjerg. The referee initially played the advantage, but now goes back to rightfully book him for it.

Spurs have their first real chance to get forward as Kane peels out to the right, but his cross is blocked by Ream. Perisic's corner is half-cleared by Tete and Davies fires over the bar.

Romero has made a really poor start to the game, and he sloppily gives the ball away again. Hojbjerg fouls De Cordova-Reid in an attempt to make up for it. Fulham have a free-kick, but Pereira's shot is straight down the middle at Lloris.

SAVE! Son is caught on the ball this time, and Tete takes it around him before squaring it to De Cordova-Reid. Nobody closes him down, so he decides to try his luck from range, and Lloris gets down to push it away from the bottom left corner.

Romero cheaply gives the ball away in his own half and Pereira knocks it out to Willian. He can't get past Emerson, so plays it back to the midfielder, but he overhits the cross straight out of play.

There's a nervy moment at the back for Fulham as Leno puts Palhinha under pressure with the pass. He slices it away as Bentancur shoves him in the back, and Son can't bring the loose ball under control.

Spurs have everyone back in their own half, keeping their shape as they allow Fulham to keep it in front of them. Ream carries it forward before switching it out to De Cordova-Reid, but his floated cross is met by Romero.

Palhinha wins the ball back in midfield, and Fulham switch it out to their left with a lovely flick from Willian. Robinson makes the overlapping run, weaving past Romero to square it in, but Lloris collects.

CLOSE! Dier clears the ball, but when it comes back to him again, he gets more distance on the next one. It's not clear if he was actually going for goal from near the centre circle, but it has Leno scrambling before it lands on the roof of the net.
