Tottenham 1-1 Fulham: Tom Cairney scores and receives red card in Cottagers' draw against Spurs

Fulham's frustration grew as they were unable to convert several scoring opportunities, with stand-in Spurs goalkeeper Fraser Forster denying them with some impressive saves. However, their luck changed when Brennan Johnson capitalized on a counter-attack and scored his 10th goal of the season with a well-taken volley in the 54th minute.

But sub Cairney brilliantly fired them level 13 minutes later from Alex Iwobi's pass with his first goal in a year.

There was controversy at that point as Cairney had come on for Sasa Lukic who had been lucky to escape a second yellow card for a challenge on Heung-Min Son. But referee Darren Bond was rightly swift to show Cairney a red when VAR advised him to watch the midfielder rake his studs into Kulusevski's calf.

That left Fulham needing to see out the final five minutes of normal time and seven minutes added on and, despite Spurs piling forward, Marco Silva's men managed to leave north London with a point.

There were boos at full-time from the home fans who have seen their side win just one of their five Premier League games after Europa League fixtures.

Spurs were far from their best here. Son and Radu Dragusin were both denied by Bernd Leno in the first half and James Maddison saw a free-kick deflected against a post. But Fulham should have gone ahead from a couple of good openings for Raul Jimenez in that first period, when Forster was able to benefit from a poor touch and a miscued strike.

But Fulham won the shot count and had twice as many shots on target as their hosts. Tottenham sit seventh, three points off the top four. Fulham are a point back in 10th.
