Tottenham Hotspur record second successive win following controversial evening at Craven Cottage

Tottenham Hotspur have got an important three points in their bid for European football after grinding out a 1-0 win over relegation strugglers Fulham.

The Lilywhites dominated large parts of the first half, and should have taken the lead when Heung-min Son’s cross found an unmarked Harry Kane six yards out. However, the forward uncharacteristically nodded straight at Alphonse Areola.

Just moments later, Spurs were ahead. Son’s low cross was flicked towards goal by Dele Alli, who found the net via a deflection off Tosin Adarabioyo. Replays showed that Alli’s effort was heading wide, meaning that the goal went down as an Adarabioyo own goal.
