Tom Cairney, Fulham's captain, came off the bench to rescue a point before being sent off in a 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday. The hosts took the lead after Brennan Johnson's volley.
Fulham played well in the first half, but Son Heung-Min missed a good chance in the opening minute after Timo Werner intercepted a risky pass out of defence.
Raúl Jiménez had two chances to score, but Spurs goalkeeper Fraser Forster saved him both times. Forster was making his first league appearance this season, replacing the injured Guglielmo Vicario.
Forster made a great save at full stretch to keep out the striker's header, which was heading for the goal, after he found Jiménez in space in the box.Spurs also had a chance when Radu Dragusin's header from a well-worked corner was saved by Bernd Leno.
Fulham were the more dangerous team, though, and came close to scoring just before half-time with a quick counter-attack, but Alex Iwobi's shot hit the bar.
