Tottenham 1-1 Fulham: Player ratings as Spurs struggle to draw

Player ratings from Tottenham 1-1 Fulham in the Premier League.
Tottenham struggled for large swathes of Sunday's Premier League clash with Fulham and were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw.
The hosts were without a number of key names for the Cottagers' visit, with Ange Postecoglou naming multiple teenagers on the Spurs bench. Andreas Pereira, meanwhile, was dropped from the Fulham squad entirely following recent comments surrounding his future in west London.
There were no goals in a fairly frenetic opening period laden with fast breakaways. Bernd Leno was rarely tested after being sprung into a very early save to deny Son Heung-min, with the away side enjoying the better of the chances. A couple of fine Fraser Forster saves kept them at bay, while Alex Iwobi hit the woodwork.
The visitors refused to let the contest get away from them, though. Fulham responded to Johnson's opener with another surge, and a deserved equaliser was claimed by substitute Tom Cairney, who curled home superbly from the edge of the Tottenham box.
However, the Fulham skipper failed to end the contest as he was dismissed in the closing stages for a nasty tackle on Dejan Kulusevski. Silva was intent on settling for a point thereafter, and the absence of a recognised No. 9, until Will Lankshear entered the fray in stoppage time, doubtlessly hindered Spurs' ability to snatch a late winner.
The Cottagers were able to hold on with ease for a well-earned point which probably should've been three.
