Thanks for joining me here on Tribe as Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham played out an entertaining draw in North London this afternoon; I hope you’ve enjoyed our coverage; I’ve been Rory Morrow, and I look forward to seeing you again soon for another live text commentary!
Up Next - More Premier League action for both sides as they build up for matches on Thursday night. Spurs are at the Vitality Stadium to face Bournemouth whilst Fulham stay in the capital as they host Brighton & Hove Albion that same evening.
Fulham, before being reduced to ten men, would have been annoyed not to leave North London with maximum points. They created the clearer openings and when Forster wasn't in the way, Iwobi's strike clipped the crossbar in the first half. To their immense credit, they kept on coming despite the sucker punch of going behind with Cairney's curling equaliser brilliantly tucked away. It was an eventful cameo for Cairney, who then saw red for his challenge on Kulusevski, but he'll be relieved that it didn't prove costly as his team cannily navigated the closing stages to ensure themselves a deserved share of the spoils.
Frustration for Tottenham as they struggled to breach Fulham's well-organised backline. Indeed, Spurs were susceptible at the back and became reliant on Forster's brilliance to keep them level. Johnson, scoring for the third successive match, took his goal clinically whilst Porro, a scorer at the Etihad Stadium last time out, was lively up and down that right-hand side. Maddison also threatened, hitting the post from a first-half free kick but not having as much of an impact as he did away at Manchester City. With injuries piling up and the matches continuing to come thick and fast, though, Spurs must settle for this point and go again in midweek.
A POINT APIECE - Honours even at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium as Spurs are unable to follow up last weekend's stunning win over Man City with another league victory today. Fulham were well worth their point, however, with stand-in keeper, Forster, in formidable form to deny Jimenez (twice) and Iwobi. Johnson prodded Spurs in front before Cairney, off the bench, levelled up proceedings. Cairney then got sent off seven minutes from the end when VAR upgraded his late tackle on Kulusevski from yellow to red. Fulham, though, managed the closing stages and depart with a well-earned draw.

Kulusevski races back to dispossess Robinson down the left, inside Spurs' defensive half. Johnson races onto Kulusevski's pass, flying down the right wing but Sessegnon keeps pace, recovering to toe the ball out for a throw-in on that side.

Gray, who hasn't been on long himself, is replaced by Lankshear as Spurs chase a winning goal in these closing minutes.
