Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:33
Muniz's brace helps Fulham to a 3-0 victory over Spurs. The Brazilian opened the scoring just before half-time when he latched onto Robinson's brilliant low cross and sent it into the far bottom corner. Spurs struggled to get going in the first half, and they were punished for an even slower start to the second as Fulham tripled their lead within the first 16 minutes. Lukic scored his first goal for the club with a close-range tap-in before Muniz got his second of the game just after the hour-mark when he bundled it over the line. Postecoglou made changes, and they attempted to fight back, but Werner fired wide from two yards out, with Richarlison also missing a late chance to get a consolation. Fulham stay 12th but are now just two points off the top half of the table, and they'll travel to Sheffield United in their next game after the international break. Spurs miss out on the chance to move fourth and leapfrog Villa, who could reopen the gap to fifth to five points tomorrow. They host Luton Town next time out. That's all for today, goodbye!

And Bentancur is also booked for the coming together, though the Uruguayan is still complaining when the referee walks away from him.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:27
There's a coming together between Reed and Bentancur, and the referee has to step in to calm things down. The Fulham midfielder is booked for his part in the argument.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:24
Spurs have looked to their right side a lot, with 42.7 per cent of their attacks coming from this side, and Porro pushes forward once more. He lays it off to Lo Celso on the edge of the box, but he curls his shot straight into Leno's gloves.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:21
We're in the second of seven added minutes, and Spurs are caught on the ball once more. Tete intercepts a pass meant for Werner and threads it forward for De Cordova-Reid in the box, but Romero blocks his shot.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:20
GOOD SAVE! It turns out, Fulham aren't done quite yet as Willian slides a brilliant throughball into Wilson, who gets in front of Dragusin. He's one-on-one with Vicario, but the keeper rushes out to smother his shot.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:20
Fulham are happy to let Spurs keep possession as we head into the last minute of the 90. They've got the three points wrapped up, and are sitting deep to close off the space.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:17
Spurs' final roll of the dice sees their captain, Son, replaced by Lo Celso.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:17
WIDE! It's a wonderful bending run from Kulusevski from the right to get inside Robinson, and he nods down the cross into a good area. Nobody spots Richarlison as he darts onto it, but he volleys his first-time shot wide of the near post.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:15
Spurs are still keeping possession well when they win it back, but it's all in front of Fulham. The visitors are staying patient in their build-up, but they don't have a lot of time left to mount a late comeback.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:14
CHANCE! Werner slides a lovely throughball into the box for Richarlison, who neatly skips away from Bassey before setting himself for a shot. Palhinha slides in at the last moment to put him off, and the Brazilian blazes his shot over just as the offside flag goes up.

Muniz is the youngest Fulham player to score a brace in a Premier League London derby (22y 317d), with the previous youngest to do so: Louis Saha in March 2002 against Chelsea (23y 210d).
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:08
Yellow Card Brennan Price Johnson
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:06
Kulusevski makes another driving run down the right, but Fulham are still defending in numbers and dealing with any crosses into their box. Another attack goes to waste for Spurs, and Hojbjerg is urging his team-mates to calm things down.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:04
Before their triple change, Spurs had created an xG of just 0.05 in the second half, but things have changed since then. It's now up to 1.62, and while Postecoglou will be encouraged by the change he's seen, it may be too little, too late.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:01
Fulham are making their second change now. Pereira is taken off, with Wilson brought on in his place.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:01
Again, Spurs look to their left to make something happen, and Werner pulls it back to Bentancur on the edge of the box. He takes the shot first time, but it's straight down the middle, and Leno holds onto it.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
19:00
SAVE! Those changes from Spurs have had the desired effect, and they're suddenly trying to have an impact in this game. Werner shakes off Castagne and tries his luck from a tight angle on the left, but Leno gets down to tip it wide.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:59
GREAT CHANCE! How has Werner missed that? Kulusevski nicks it off Robinson and quickly helps it onto Johnson ahead of him. The winger fizzes it into the area, and Werner sticks out a leg but can only direct it wide of the far post from about two yards out.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:58
That's better from Spurs as it's spread out to Son on the left side, and he drills a dangerous ball across the face of goal. Johnson is hovering in the middle on the edge of the six-yard box, but he makes no move to attack it. That could've been a tap-in!
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:55
Substitution Pape Matar Sarr Timo Werner
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:55
NO GOAL! Fulham are denied a fourth! William lifts a lovely ball to the left of the box, and Adarabioyo nods it down for Palhinha, who is completely unmarked on the edge of the box. His drilled shot takes a deflection off Jimenez before it hits the back of the net, but since the Mexican was offside, the goal will be ruled out. Still 3-0!

Substitution Yves Bissouma Pierre-Emile Kordt Højbjerg

18:54
Muniz is still struggling after getting that kick to the calf from Dragusin earlier, and he goes down again. He's going to have to go off, with Jimenez making his return from injury in his place.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:53
It's clumsy from Bissouma, who has hold of Palhinha's arm before he clips the back of his heels. He's protesting his innocence, but it doesn't stop him from getting a yellow card.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:50
Goal Rodrigo Muniz Carvalho
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:50
GOOD SAVE! Iwobi and Castagne are linking up well down the right, and the defender's overlapping run is picked out once more. He drills a low shot at the near post, but Vicario gets down to smother it.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:48
Bissouma sells himself as he slides in but fails to block Lukic's pass. Muniz wasn't expecting it to get as far as him, so he belatedly gives chase, but he can't keep it in play against Porro.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:48
This is the 11th game in which Spurs have failed to score in the first half of a Premier League outing this season, though they have scored 22 goals in the second 45 minutes across the previous 10 such matches.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:44
Yellow Card João Maria Lobo Alves Palhares Costa Palhinha Gonçalves
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:44
Pereira is down for Fulham, and it looks like he's jarred his right knee when awkwardly going into a challenge on Bissouma. He receives treatment but is still moving gingerly when he gets back to his feet. He's going to try and carry on.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:40
Again, Fulham look to their wide areas to make something happen, and this time, it's Robinson down the left. He gets a yard on Porro to swing it in, but Romero hooks it away in the middle.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:38
Assist Timothy Castagne
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:36
Fulham have made a bright start to the second half, and they're keeping Spurs penned back in their own half. Iwobi spreads it out to Pereira on the right, but his low cross is played too close to Vicario.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:34
Fulham get us back under way for the second half!
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:30
Postecoglou won't be too happy with his team's performance so far - they've created an xG (expected goals) of just 0.5 in the first half from five shots and just one on target, though it took them until the 24th minute to register their first effort. He'll be looking for a big improvement. Compare that to Fulham's xG of 0.96 and their three shots on target, and the Cottagers look the more comfortable side, but Silva will know they can't get complacent.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:23
Muniz's goal gives Fulham a 1-0 lead over Spurs at half-time. On balance, Fulham had the better chances in the first half, and Vicario was forced into a good save to deny Lukic early on at his near post. Muniz continued his fine run of form in front of goal just before the break, latching onto Robinson's superb cross and slotting it into the far bottom corner to break the deadlock. Spurs struggled to get going, with Leno only having one comfortable save to make so far.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:18
HALF-TIME: FULHAM 1-0 TOTTENHAM.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:17
Into the first of two added minutes at the end of the half, Fulham win a free-kick on the right, which Pereira swings into the box. Lukic is closest to it, but with four Spurs players around him, he can't do much with it.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:16
Muniz is already looking for another goal involvement as he drives forward down the right this time. Iwobi is racing into the box with Pereira, but Johnson steps across the Brazilian before he can get too far.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:13
Assist Antonee Robinson
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:13
Spurs are winning a lot of free-kicks, but they haven't been able to make anything of them. Maddison takes this one quickly from the left, but floats it straight into Leno's gloves when none of his team-mates attack it.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:11
Willian gets the better of Porro down the left, but when he gets his head up, nobody is waiting in the box. He still swings a hopeful cross in, but it's an easy collection for Vicario.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:09
Fulham just can't keep hold of the ball at the moment, but Spurs are still struggling to test Leno. Udogie can't find any space down the left this time, but when it's switched to the opposite flank, Porro has the same issue.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:06
Iwobi has created the most changes from open play of any Fulham player (34) in the Premier League this season, including three in the first half of this game already.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:05
Castagne is struggling to cope with the threat that Spurs are posing down their left side at the minute as Udogie plays another cross into Maddison. He tries to clip it over the top to Kulusevski, but Bassey does well to cut it out.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:04
JUST WIDE! Spurs are upping the pressure now as Udogie races past Castagne on the left to pull it back to Maddison. He takes it first time, fizzing his low shot just inches wide of Leno's near post.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
18:01
Fulham don't clear their lines properly after a Spurs corner, and it's recycled by Dragusin, who stayed forward on the left. He plays a dangerous low ball across the face of goal, but Kulusevski is caught on his heels and can't get to it.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:58
SAVE! Son is pushed off the ball, but he still manages to get a pass into Sarr before he goes down. He pokes it onto Maddison, who in turn helps it to Johnson on the left of the box, but his shot is tame, and Leno gets down to it.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:57
SAVE! It's end-to-end at the moment, with both sides being opened up with pacy attacks. It comes down Fulham's right once more, with Iwobi pulling it back to Willian, but Vicario holds his first-time shot down the middle.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:57
GREAT CHANCES! Robinson fizzes a dangerous low cross in from the left, and Vicario is beaten, but it's just behind Muniz in the middle and he can't make contact. Spurs surge forward on the counter, and Maddison pulls it back to Son, who lifts his first-time shot over the bar. That's the visitors' first effort of the game.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:54
Lukic pops up on the right this time, and he has acres of space to run into. He tries to square it into the box early for Muniz, but Dragusin recovers well once more to cut it out.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:53
Willian lifts it over the top to Lukic, but he can't bring it down on the stretch in the box. The hosts are quick to flood back into their shape, stopping Spurs from being able to launch a quick counter.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:50
Robinson is caught on the ball deep in his own half, and Kulusevski's only aim is to get into the box. Bassey does brilliantly to get across to him though, and the defender comes away with it cleanly.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:50
Maddison is at the left-back position in an attempt to have an impact on this game, and he's tripped while playing a one-two with Sarr. He takes the free-kick short to Johnson, who can't pick out a cross.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:47
Willian's cross clears everyone in the middle, but Iwobi brings it down on the far side. He has the right idea as he pulls it back to the edge of the box, but Lukic makes no move to attack it, and Maddison is able to clear the danger.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:45
Following their 4-0 win at Villa last time out, Spurs are looking to secure back-to-back away league wins for the first time since October. They've scored at least twice in each of their last six on the road, only once having a longer run in their league history (10 between April and October 1960).
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:44
GOOD SAVE! Palhinha steps in to win possession high upfield, and he pokes it out to the right for Iwobi, who helps it onto Lukic. He drills a low shot on goal which Vicario parries, and Muniz's follow-up is blocked by Romero.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:42
The visitors win a free-kick on the right, and Porro whips in a good delivery, which causes some confusion. Sarr scuffs at his volley and Dragusin can't bring it under control to get a shot away either.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:40
Spurs win their first corner of the game, and Johnson pulls it back to Maddison on the edge of the box. His floated cross creates space for Kulusevski on the opposite flank, but he can't keep it in play.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:38
It's a wonderful chipped pass over the top from Palhinha to pick out Muniz's run between the Spurs centre-backs. It doesn't bounce kindly for him though, and Dragusin gets across well to nudge him away from it.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:36
It's a positive run from Iwobi, who weaves away from two Spurs players before trying to set up a one-two with Muniz, but the forward is fouled. Fulham win a free-kick, and they're on the attack once more.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:34
BLOCK! After such a long spell of possession, Spurs sloppily give it away in their own half, with Iwobi sliding it forward for Muniz in the box. Sarr slides in to block his effort, and Pereira's follow-up is deflected out for a corner off Dragusin.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:31
Kulusevski gets the game under way for Spurs!
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:31
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away!
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:30
There's just one change by Ange Postecoglou from their win over Villa on Sunday, and it's an enforced one. Micky van de Ven was forced off with a knee injury in that match so he's unavailable. Dragusin comes in to take his place. They are boosted by the return of Richarlison, who is back on the bench after overcoming a knee problem.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:24
Marco Silva makes two changes to the side that lost to Wolves last weekend as Palhinha and William are brought into the starting line-up. Reed and Wilson both start on the bench, as does Jimenez, who is deemed fit enough after recovering from a thigh injury.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:24
TOTTENHAM SUBS: Ben Davies, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Timo Werner, Giovani Lo Celso, Rodrigo Bentancur, Oliver Skipp, Richarlison, Brandon Austin, Emerson Royal.

17:19
TOTTENHAM STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Guglielmo Vicario; Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Radu Dragusin, Destiny Udogie; Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr; Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Brennan Johnson; Son Heung-Min.

FULHAM STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Bernd Leno; Timothy Castagne, Tosin Adarabioyo, Calvin Bassey, Antonee Robinson; Joao Palhinha, Sasa Lukic; Willian, Andreas Pereira, Alex Iwobi; Rodrigo Muniz.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:08
A win for Spurs today would see them leapfrog Aston Villa into fourth spot, as they don't play until tomorrow. They've lost just one of their last eight Premier League matches (W5 D2), but have won back-to-back games leading up to this one, including a huge 4-0 victory over the Villains last weekend. Spurs have also won each of their last seven trips to Craven Cottage, which is their joint-best run of away victories against an opponent in the competition (also two runs of seven against Villa).
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
17:08
Fulham start the day in 12th but have the opportunity to close the gap to the top half of the table with a win here. They've lost just two of their last seven outings (W3 D2), and even though they come into this game on the back of a disappointing 2-1 loss to Wolves, two of their recent wins have come on home soil, including a 3-0 victory over Brighton in their last such outing. The Cottagers have lost 14 of their last 16 Premier League games against Spurs though (W1 D1), going winless in the last nine (D1 L8) since a 1-0 win at White Hart Lane in March 2013.
