Harry Kane scored on his return to the Tottenham side but their Premier League title hopes were dented by a 2-1 defeat to Burnley at Turf Moor.

Kane came straight back into the starting line-up after seven games out with an ankle injury and produced a smart finish to equalise in the 65th minute, eight minutes after Chris Wood had given the hosts the lead.

Victory would have moved Spurs to within two points of Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the table but Burnley showed why they have not been beaten in the league since Boxing Day.

They had come close to a second before substitute Johann Berg Gudmundsson set up Ashley Barnes for an 83rd-minute winner.

So how did the two teams fare? See the gallery below for our player ratings.
