Tottenham Hotspur vs. Fulham: Final score 3-1

Follow commentary of the Premier League game between Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham at White Hart Lane on Saturday April 19, 2014, kick-off 12.45 (BST) FT: TOTTENHAM 3 FULHAM 1 Two fine crosses from Eriksen handed Paulinho, and then Kaboul, chances they could hardly miss. Harry Kane, who is coming on nicely, also scored with a header. Fulham managed one through Steve Sidwell, who also missed a penalty, but the result never looked doubt once Spurs got their third just after the hour mark. A limp and leaky Fulham side look to have all the hallmarks of relegation about them. Spurs, meanwhile, strengthen their case to be crowned the sixth best team in the land. Read the full match report from Gerry Cox here. Oh, not too sure why but, as the players come off, Broadway Danny Rose is involved in what looks like a heated exchange with Tottenham goalkeeping coach Tony Parks.Tottenham gained a much-needed win over Fulham at White Hart Lane to gain some ground in the fight for the Europa League places and make the visitors' task of escaping relegation looking even more difficult. Paulinho had put the hosts ahead from Christian Eriksen's free-kick before Steve Sidwell equalised just 90 seconds later, but goals from Harry Kane and Younes Kaboul put them 3-1 up in the second half before Sidwell then missed a potentially costly late penalty after Eriksen handballed. Fulham got off to a relatively good start in the wake of their recent good form, and Sidwell showed a glimpse of things to come when he had the first chance of the game, just failing to connect with Alexander Kacaniklic's cross. The game then continued its lively start as Younes Kaboul headed narrowly over the bar before Lloris charged out to deny Hugo Rodallega after the ball fell kindly to the former Wigan man, but the scores remained level.Follow Sportsmail's coverage of the Barclays Premier League as Tottenham host Fulham at White Hart Lane to begin the weekend's action. The London derby comes at a pivotal point in the season for both sides, as the Cottagers seek successive White Hart Lane wins to climb outside the bottom three in the table. Spurs meanwhile still have an outside chance of finishing in the top four but know they can ill afford any more slip-ups in their last four games of the season.
