Fulham 0-3 Tottenham - As it happened
Re-live Tottenham's comfortable victory at Craven Cottage in the FA Cup 5th Round.
FULL-TIME: Fulham 0-3 Tottenham
Harry Kane got a hat-trick and Tottenham advance to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup behind a display so dominant that they could afford to play the final quarter or so at a walking pace. Fulham did not pose a credible threat at any point in the game.

GOAL: Fulham 0-3 Tottenham (Kane, 73 mins)
Well, it took Kane only a few seconds after that missed chance to actually get his hat-trick...Alli slides one through, Kane is one-on-one with Bettinelli and cannot possibly miss, especially today.

Kane could have scored third
Alli flicks it for Kane who brings it down with his first touch but it then bounces off his knee and his shot goes just over the bar
Another chance for Spurs
Tottenham break through Eriksen, he wants to play it through for Alli but overruns it in the box and Bettinelli comes sliding out to claim.
Second change for Fulham
Cyriac comes on for Aluko
Tottenham miss a big chance
Eriksen tries to reproduce the same action that led to the second goal only this time it is Dele Alli on the receiving end and he receives in a way that forces him to pull off an acrobatic shot, it goes over the bar
Fulham make first change
Sessegnon, who is still only 16 years old, replaces Ayite
GOAL: Fulham 0-2 Tottenham (Kane, 51 mins)
Similarly to the first goal, Eriksen picks out Kane in the middle of the box, the latter slots it home from close range
A delightful second for @HKane and plenty of praise for @HarryWinks' pass that got the move started. #COYS pic.twitter.com/znJLLyeoiZ

Second half under way
Neither team made any changes at half-time
HALF-TIME: Fulham 0-1 Tottenham
Tottenham could have scored a couple more in the first half but in any case their lead is more than well-deserved as they created half a dozen chances. Fulham, despite a very spirited first five minutes, have given no indication they can overturn even such a slim deficit.
HALF-TIME: Fulham 0-1 Tottenham Hotspur. A dominant first-half display sees us lead thanks to @HKane's strike. Come on you Spursss! #COYS pic.twitter.com/jchXSDqfB1

Kane misses a chance
Kane does very well to intercept a poor short pass by Bettinelli but he doesn't fire right away and Johansen rushes back and bails out his goalkeeper with a tackle
42' Kane latches onto a loose ball on the edge of the area, Johansen on hand with a very important tackle. #COYW #FFC

Free-kick goes to waste
Eriksen delivers it uncharacteristically poorly, the Fulham defence clears at the near post
Free-kick to Tottenham
In a dangerous position, on the right edge of the area
Tottenham keep up the pressure
We still have a little over 10 minutes left in the first half and Spurs look like they could get a second goal before the break, although it has been a while without a clear chance
Tottenham miss a chance
Kane plays in Eriksen but his effort from a tight angle flies just over the bar
25 - We win the ball back in a dangerous area and @HKane feeds @ChrisEriksen8 but he blazes over. 1-0 up. #COYS

Fulham almost score from Spurs mistake
Tottenham keeper wants to pass to Vertonghen on the edge of his area, the pass is intercepted by Cairney whose effort is saved as Vorm recovers in time to correct his mistake
GOAL: Fulham 0-1 Tottenham (Kane, 16 mins)
Clever cross by Eriksen from the right, Kane extends his leg all he can to finish from five meters out
GOAL! 1-0 #COYS pic.twitter.com/SQwfvp1Pro

Play resumes
Fulham were down to 10 only for less than a minute, Cairney is back on the field
Play stops
Fulham's Cairney gets a knock on the head and receives treatment on the sideline, but he looks ok to continue
Fulham shot just wide
Fulham earn their first corner, it is cleared at the near post but the ball falls to Malone's feet who fires wide from the edge of the area
Tottenham miss a chance
The Fulham defence clear the corner but Spurs regain possession and Alli drags a shot across goal, it goes just wide
Huge save by Bettinelli
In what is Tottenham's first proper attack, Eriksen finds a bit of space between two defenders and fires a low effort, the Fulham keeper dives at his bottom left-hand corner and palms it out
4' Superb reaction save from Bettinelli to deny Eriksen #FFC
