In a gripping Premier League encounter, Fulham captain Tom Cairney emerged as both hero and villain in a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. Initially coming off the bench to level the score after Brennan Johnson had given Spurs the lead, Cairney later faced dismissal following a contentious tackle.

Tottenham's early dominance was evident, with Son Hueng-min narrowly missing a golden opportunity in the opening minute. Fulham, vibrant in attack, saw Raul Jimenez twice frustrated by the formidable Fraser Forster, while Radu Dragusin also tested Bernd Leno on the other end.

Despite Tottenham's vanishing advantage through Johnson's neatly placed goal, Fulham rallied after halftime. Cairney's curling strike from outside the box ensured the visitors a point, although his subsequent sending-off showcased the tumultuous nature of the match.
