Spurs had the early attacks, but Fulham foraged forward as the game approached the 15 minute mark.  Ten minutes later the first save of the match came from Tommy Forecast, who dived to tip around a Litamanen curler from 18 yards out.

Tottenham almost opened the scoring in the 29th minute, with Taarabt causing his marker Cumber all sorts of problems and his low cross was touched towards goal by Simon Dawkins, but blocked to Jacques Maghoma, who skied over the bar from very close range.,

On 37 minutes, Simon Elliott drove a 20-yarder very close to the goal and two minutes later Fulham went into the lead with a penalty, earned by Erik Nevland and scored by Jari Litmanen.  It looked innocent enough as the Norwegian forward and Ricardo Rocha came together in the area as they challenged for a header, but the ref pointed to the spot and the Finn stepped up to stroke the spot-kick past Forecast.   In injury time, Gilberto got in the way of a shot from Christanval to prevent Tottenham going into the break 0-2 down.

Straight after half-time, Tomas Pekhart played in Adel Taarabt, who produced a swerving shot that goalkeeper Brooks-Meade saved at the foot of his post and the Frenchman had another shot, but could only put it wide.  With Spurs attacking, Fulham looked to hit on the break and Seol came inside to lay into the path of Milson, who struck a fierce effort from 20 yards out and Forecast did well to turn it over the top, as it seemed to be deflected on it's way to him.

The Fulham keeper denied Taarabt with a dive at his feet and at the other end, a sliced effort from Elliott found Forecast in a good position to take it comfortably.  With 80 minutes gone, Spurs finally cracked the visitor's defence.  David Hutton was freed on the right wing and he put in a cross, which was deflected up into the air behind Danny Rose, but he threw himself into the air and executed an overhead kick which sent the ball out of Brook-Meade's reach to net the equaliser from close range.

Five minutes later, a short corner routine provided a golden opportunity for Dawkins, who missed the target from inside the six yard box and then play moved to the Spurs end, where Forecast failed to get distance on a punch out and the ball was helped back towards goal by Elliott, but Rocha got back to clear from in front of goal with three minutes remaining.

The game approached added time at the end of the game looking like a draw, but Rocha played the ball out of defence to Taarabt.  Taking the ball down, he ran at Leijer - the defender in front of him, then he hit a low shot past Brooks-Meade as he reached the edge of the area to put Tottenham ahead.  But the game wasn't quite over, as Spurs pushed forward again, with Jake Livermore going through on the keeper, but the save was made and the ball fell invitingly for Dawkins to put the ball into the unguarded net in front of him to round off a 3-1 win.

Spurs lined up with an attacking formation, but despite Andy Barcham and Jamie O'Hara forcing keeper Brooks-Meade into early saves, the team could not get the goal they needed to take the game on.  Forecast conceded a corner in denying Bjorn Runstrom, from which Matthew Briggs' header was cleared from the line by O'Hara.  A similar clearance was made by James from Jake Livermore's looping header to Hallfredsson's corner.

In the 38th minute, James too the ball forward from a deep position and struck a curling 30 yard shot that found the top corner to give the Cottagers the lead.  Taarabt almost stole an equaliser when Briggs stood on the ball, leaving the French midfielder to beat Elliot Omozusi, but not the goalie, who kept the ball out with his legs.

Into the second half, Forecast denied Runstrom again and Brooks-Meade saved from a fierce shot from Taarabt at the other end.  A 20 yard effort from O'Hara did not it the mark and with a twisting run, Lee Barnard made some space for himself to curl a shot wide from six yards out and a last chance went begging.

The greasy turf made for a fast paced game, with Andy Barcham taking Charlie Daniels' pass to slip Tottenham ahead with 37 minutes gone, but a lack of concentration cost Spurs three minutes after the break, as Ehui's shot flew off Jamie O'Hara to leave Rob Burch wrong-footed.

Tottenham's passing was a little off during the game, with some good movement off the ball, created opportunities, but failed to put them away.
