Muniz deserved the Player of the Match award for his efforts but an honourable mention has to go to Robinson. He had a wonderful assist and was also really solid defensively.

Share

Here are the two other goals scored in this match:

Fulham have become the first team to stop Tottenham scoring, their balloon popped after beating Aston Villa 4-0 last weekend. It is also the first time Fulham have beaten Tottenham in the Premier League at Craven Cottage in 16 years.

Full-time! Fulham 3-0 Tottenham

It was all Fulham at Craven Cottage as two goals from Muniz and another from Lukic was enough to quash Spurs hopes of moving into the top four. Postecoglou’s team will have to wait until after the international break now to push for a Champions League place.

Share

90 + 6 min: Le Celso crosses it in but it’s cleared. It is not Tottenham’s day today.

Share

90 + 5 min: Spurs are running the ball through the team but they aren’t creating much, it’s as thought they are 3-0 up. Eventually it comes to Lo Celso who rifles off a shot but Leno saves.

Share

90 + 3 min: The celebrations are already starting in the stands, a huge result this will be for Fulham. Werner, who is being booed every time he is on the ball, takes a punt and it is over the bar. Muniz is named Player of the Match.

Share

90 + 1 min: There will be seven minutes injury time at Craben Cottage. Wilson makes a good run and has a shot but Vicario saves well.

Share

89 min: Kulusevski head is down to Richarlison but his shot is off target. Tottenham make another change with Son off for Lo Celso.

Share

87 min: Palhinha is tackled in the box but cleanly from Bentancur. If Spurs do not score in this game it will be the first time Tottenham haven’t scored in a Premier League game under Postecoglou.

Share

85 min: Richarlison takes a shot but it is over the bar, the striker would have been offside regardless.

Share

83 min: Dragusin tackles Wilson, the crowd wanted a free kick but it isn’t given. Fulham make change with Lukic off for Reed, Iwobi is off for De Cordova-Reid and Castagne off for Tete.

Share

80 min: Fulham win it back well but then immediately lose it in the midfield. There’s been a clash between Son and Palhinha but both are okay to continue. Johnson came over to have a word with the referee after the collision and he gets a yellow card for his efforts. That is his last act of the game with Johnson off for Richarlison.

Share

78 min: Fulham are running down the clock here in good game management, Leno and Willian passing at the back.

Share

76 min: Hojbjerg makes a good block on a cross popped in by Robinson as Fulham search for their fourth.

Share

74 min: Spurs play a bit of risky play at the back but they manage to get it away and set up an attack. But it ends with a good bit of play by the hosts, Fulham playing a blinder.

Share

72 min: Bentancur takes a shot at goal but it is straight at Leno who saves. Fulham make a change with Pereira off for Wilson.

Share

71 min: Leno makes a save with Werner in again, where was this Spurs attack half an hour ago? This may be too little too late from Tottenham, if they are to comeback they need to score soon.

Share

69 min: Spurs win a corner as Palhinha blocks a shot from Werner. It’s taken well but it’s cleared. Spurs maintain possession and they get it back in. Son gets a good ball to Johnson but he can’t steer it goalward. Spurs come again and Johnson crosses in but Werner can’t tap home!

Share

67 min: Tottenham are making a triple change with Werner, Hojbjerg and Bentancur are on. Spurs playing out of the back at the moment, they need some more zip in their attack.

Share

65 min: Palhinha thought he had scored a fourth but it is ruled out for offside. So unfortunate, the celebrations were going crazy.

Share

64 min: Muniz has now scored seven goals in his last seven starts, incredible form. Hr is off here now though as the knock proves too much for him. Bissouma is given a yellow card for a foul and Fulham have a free kick.

Share

62 min: The corner came in and the shots at goal kept coming and Muniz eventually taps home, he does get a knock but he looks okay to continue. Muniz cannot stop scoring.

GOAL! Fulham 3-0 Tottenham (Muniz, 61′)

The scorer is unclear but I think it is Muniz, who looks like he took a knock in the process.

61 min: A ball is threaded to Willian but he can’t control and it’s out for a Spurs throw. Tottenham have patient build-up play but Fulham intercept the ball and go on the attack. Castagne takes a shot and Vicario saves but concedes a corner.

55 min: Play is back underway with Pereira going to the side after receiving treatment, he is okay to continue I think – great news for Fulham.

Share

53 min: Here come Fulham again, Robinson puts it into the area but the cross is blocked. The songs are ringing around Craven Cottage, the cushion of a second goal giving them confidence here. There is a break in play here as Pereira gets some attention for an injury.

Share

51 min: Throughout this game, even when Spurs have had momentum, Fulham have looked the more dangerous on the attack and they have proved it once again there. That was Lukic’s first goal for Fulham.

Share

GOAL! Fulham 2-0 Tottenham (Lukic, 49′)

Fulham come forward and it’s a lightning reaction from Lukic to hit it home.

49 min: Johnson puts a header into the area but none of his teammates are there to tap it home.

Share

47 min: Willian pops the ball into the area but Udogie does enough to interrupt the cross, he sees it out for a corner. It’s a good delivery from Pereira but it’s dealt with. Fulham continue to press but Vicario collects.

Back underway! Fulham 1-0 Tottenham

Fulham lead the way but Tottenham will hoping to launch a comeback to go into the top four. All to play for.

In the FA Cup quarter-final Manchester City lead Newcastle 2-0 at half time. You can catch all of that action here:

As things stand Fulham are now just a point behind Chelsea, a loss for Spurs would see them remain in fifth.

Here is the goal that is the difference so far:

Half-time! Fulham 1-0 Tottenham

Well Fulham were on top for the first part of this game and didn’t take their chances, letting Tottenham build into this match. But Robinson’s class cross to Muniz was all the hosts needed to go ahead.

Share

45 + 1 min: There will be two added minutes here as Fulham take a free kick but Romero clears.

Share

45 min: The goal stands and Marco Silva raises his arms in the air. Tottenham had just got their grip on this game and now they are chasing a result.

Share

44 min: Robinson spots Muniz in space and pops in a pinpoint cross to his teammate and Muniz controls and hits home. It looks easy but my word that was some skill from both players. VAR are checking if Muniz is offside.
