Key match details
Tottenham had a bright start and could have gone ahead early on when Son pounced on shoddy defending from the Cottagers, but the South Korean failed to finish.
At the opposite end, Raul Jimenez was denied by stand-in goalkeeper Fraser Forster, who expertly pushed away the former Wolves man’s effort.
Fulham continued to craft opportunities, with Alex Iwobi's deflected strike rattling the crossbar. Spurs also found the woodwork, courtesy of James Maddison's cleverly taken free-kick.
The second half saw Fulham maintain their ascendancy, but Forster kept them at bay. Against the run of play, Brennan Johnson broke the deadlock for Spurs, volleying home Timo Werner's lofted pass with precision.
Fulham's club captain, Tom Cairney, introduced from the bench, restored parity with a powerful strike from Iwobi's cut-back. A frenetic finale ensued, but neither side could seize the initiative, with Cairney's subsequent red card for a reckless challenge on Dejan Kulusevski further complicating matters.
