Fulham 3-3 Tottenham

Some draws feel like draws. Others feel like victories. And some feel, and are, defeats. This game, which Spurs were dominating and winning for most of the time, falls in the latter category. Kaboul adds a goal to the team total of 8 – half of which have been scored by defenders. Dimitar Berbatov opens his competitive scoring of the season; things look bright. But Fulham claw their way back and despite another defender’s goal, from Gareth Bale, the game has not been won. No, defeat (well, a draw) is snatched from the clutches of victory as Kamara grabs a last minute equaliser.
