Second change for Fulham now, and it's Tete that's making way for Solomon.

Pereira swings the corner in for Fulham and Spurs just can't clear their lines. Ream goes to ground under pressure from Kulusevski, but the referee immediately waves away the penalty claims.

70'
C. Romero gets yellow.
Romero almost catches Mitrovic in the face with his high boot and he's booked for it.

HALF-TIME: FULHAM 0-1 TOTTENHAM.
45' +1
H. Kane has scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur! Assist by Son Heung-Min.
Son is allowed to carry the ball quite a long way and draws three Fulham players to him before laying it off to Kane.
KANE SCORES! And becomes Spurs' all-time joint-top scorer! Spurs were starting to up the pressure and Son has space as he advances into the box. He squares it to Kane, who spins away from Ream before curling his shot towards the far post from inside the D. Leno can only watch as it nestles in the bottom corner. 1-0 Spurs!
44'
Son is tripped just outside the box to the right of the D, and Kane is standing over the free-kick. He drills his shot low but doesn't catch out the wall as Diop hooks it away.
38'
After a series of Spurs corners, Leno plucks the ball out of the air and tries to set Fulham on a quick counter. Palhinha hits his throughball straight against Hojbjerg though, and the visitors are back in possession.
28'
Son Heung-Min gets yellow.
Tete nicked the ball off Son, but it meant that the South Korean stepped down onto the side of his leg. He's shown a yellow card.

21'
Fulham move it quickly upfield again, and they're getting a lot of joy down their right. Tete swings a cross in this time, but Dier gets there ahead of Mitrovic.
18'
Pereira swings Fulham's first corner into the box and Tete can't stretch to meet it. Bentancur looks to set Son on the counter, but gets too much on the throughball.
16'
João Palhinha gets yellow.
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.
14'
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.
12'
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.
9'
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.
7'
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.
5'

1'

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Fulham and Tottenham at Craven Cottage! Kick-off for this one has been delayed by 15 minutes due to transport issues for the fans.
TOTTENHAM SUBS: Matt Doherty, Clement Lenglet, Davinson Sanchez, Ryan Sessegnon, Japhet Tanganga, Oliver Skipp, Richarlison, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away!
Spurs are looking to try and close the gap to the top four to three points with a win here. Since the restart after the World Cup, they've only won one of their five Premier League games (D1 L3) - they've lost their last two in a row, squandering a 2-0 lead against Manchester City on Thursday in a 4-2 defeat. A victory for Fulham today would see them leapfrog Spurs into fifth. They suffered their first defeat in all competitions since the restart last time out with a late 1-0 loss to Newcastle United. They'd won all five of their games prior to that.
FULHAM STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Bernd Leno; Kenny Tete, Issa Diop, Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson; Joao Palhinha, Harrison Reed; Willian, Andreas Pereira, Bobby De Cordova-Reid; Aleksandar Mitrovic.
FULHAM SUBS: Nathaniel Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, Harry Wilson, Marek Rodak, Daniel James, Tom Cairney, Manor Solomon, Carlos Vinicius, Layvin Kurzawa.
TOTTENHAM STARTING XI (3-4-2-1): Hugo Lloris; Cristian Romero, Eric Dier, Ben Davies; Emerson Royal, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ivan Perisic; Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-Min; Harry Kane.
Despite having the lead, Conte won't be too happy; his side made a sloppy start to the game and it took them until the end of the half to start showing any real threat. He'll be looking to pick up where they left off. Fulham don't deserve to be behind and Silva will likely be urging for more of the same as they look to get back into this one.
Spurs get back to winning ways and it sees them close the gap to the top four to just three points. Next up for them is Preston North End in the FA Cup fourth round. Fulham suffer back-to-back defeats and stay in seventh. They're also in FA Cup action next when they host Sunderland.
