Tottenham 2-1 Fulham: Spurs hold to on to claim their fourth win thanks to goals from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Kane... as Aleksandr Mitrovic inspires late surge with his sixth Cottagers goal of the season

Harry Kane's second-half strike helped Tottenham secure a 2-1 home win against Fulham on Saturday afternoon, climbing Antonio Conte's side to second in the league ahead of Manchester City's trip to Aston Villa.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg scored in the 40th minute to hand Tottenham the lead before Kane doubled the advantage fifteen minutes from time.

In-form striker Aleksandr Mitrovic scored his sixth of the season in the 83rd minute to claw a goal back for Fulham, but the hosts ultimately held on for the win.
