Burnley Soak Up Spurs Pressure To Steal Unlikely Three Points

Spread the love

Despite not having much possession and walking something of a tightrope at times, Burnley managed to overcome Tottenham and secure an unlikely 2-1 win on Saturday afternoon.

Spurs had the chance to close the gap between themselves and Liverpool, temporarily, to two points, but fell to a late goal at Turf Moor.

Chris Wood gave the hosts the lead shortly before the hour mark but Mauricio Pochettino‘s side responded and Harry Kane drew them level just eight minutes later.

But Spurs‘ hopes of staying in the title race took a severe blow when Ashley Barnes arrived with an 83rd minute winner.

The North London side remain comfortably in third and nine points ahead of fourth-placed Manchester United ahead of their game against Liverpool on Sunday.
