Burnley 0-1 Tottenham LIVE RESULT: Son Heung-min gives Spurs win in drab affair at Turf Moor

169 Views


IT was a familiar feeling for Tottenham as Harry Kane assisted Son Heung-min for a 1-0 win at Burnley.

The Clarets were stubborn defensively as ever but a double header with 15 minutes to go ultimately proved their undoing.

  • GOODBYE!

    Thanks for following along, guys.

    It wasn’t the greatest game in the history of football but we got there in the end.

    And so did Tottenham.

    Despite their drab play and Jose Mourinho’s glum figure on the bench, it was two familiar faces who conjured up the magic they needed.

    Kane nodded on for Son to score at the back post, and that’s three points for Spurs.

    Onto next week. Another weekend of Premier League football.

    Night night.

  • TOP SCORER

    This man has been on fire this season!

  • DYCHE SPEAKS

    “I thought we mixed the game up well in attack,” Dyche said.

    “We had a chance cleared off the line, there were some important moments.

    “But the performances over the season is what matters, our players are getting fitter and sharper.

    “We lost the flight of the ball on the goal.

    “I think the players know we’ve got longer periods to prepare now, the team were fit and strong tonight.

    “There’s no naivety to it, you’ve got to put it right, but we know when we play like that we’ll put points on the board.”

  • STARSTRUCK LEVY

    Carra jokes that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy couldn’t stop staring at Jose Mourinho during Spurs’ All Or Nothing Amazon Prime Series.

  • BUZZING

    Kane absolutely delighted for Son scoring his winner tonight.

  • WELL IN, SON

    The Korean’s very happy with his side’s win tonight!

  • JOSE SPEAKS

    “It was exactly what I expected,” Mourinho said.

    “I know Sean, I know what he brings for attacking teams, he’s very clever, he plays with what he has.

    “Michael Oliver was very good. And for a match of this nature, you need a good referee, a referee with good ability.

    “He was always in control, he doesn’t need to give a red card for Barnes.

    “All the duels, he has to nee running with the ball, because the ball is always in the air in this kind of match.

    “My players didn’t play the football we wanted but because of Burnley, not us. It was a positive game.

    “This was the type of match where if you take risks you can lose it.

    “Kane and Son’s understanding comes from Mauricio, not all the credits are with me. In different ways but Harry isn’t the No 9 he was. He gets into areas that allows Sonny to get in different areas.”

  • SELFLESS

    Harry Kane always seems to find himself on lists with other legends of the game.

  • ACTION AREAS

    Here’s where the game was won for Spurs tonight.

  • KANE SPEAKS

    “It was one of them, it was an unusual assist and Sonny was there to put it away,” he told Sky Sports.

    “He’s on fine form at the moment, it was lucky it went to him and he put it away.

    “I think this season when I’ve been dropping deeper the wide players have been running in behind.

    “In recent years we haven’t been doing that, Sonny, Lucas and Gareth know if I get that ball then they’ll be through on goal.

    “Tough place to come tonight but we managed to get the win.

    “When the gaffer come in he said the wingers can run in behind when I drop deep.

    “We’re just seeing the final product a bit more now. It catches the eye a bit more, we had to adapt tonight and qe did.

    “We’re at a stage where a few of us have been together for four or five years now, we know with the team and players we’ve got we can do something special.

    “These results count at the end of the season.”
