Tottenham vs Burnley: Christian Eriksen strikes late to give Spurs win

Re-live the action from Wembley

Tottenham Hotspur: A look back at 2018

Christian Eriksen struck an injury-time winner to end Tottenham Hotspur's frustration against Burnley fc and earn a 1-0 Premier League win.

Spurs looked like enduring a disappointing comedown from their midweek high in Barcelona as they struggled to break the Clarets down at Wembley.

But Eriksen, introduced from the bench, won it in the first minute of time added on when he coolly clipped home.

It was no more than Spurs deserved, as they missed several chances to have the game wrapped up before then, but they got the job done and cemented their place in the top three.

For Burnley it was another away defeat and they continue to hover above the bottom three.

Key Points

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Davies, Rose, Sissoko, Skipp, Lamela, Moura, Alli, Kane

GOAL! Watford 1-0 Cardiff (Deulofeu, 16) 

A bit of magic from the Spaniard who jinks one way, onto his left foot, feints to shoot, but has the composure to jink once again and bring it back on to his right foot. 

He then has enough about him to put it past Etheridge and give Watford the early goal that'll help them settle.

 Deulofeu slotting it beyond Etheridge and celebrating after his moment of magic...

GOAL! Crystal Palace 1-0 Leicester City (Milivojevic) 

What a strike from the Serbian! 

Townsend plays the ball across the box to the Palace skipper. No one chooses to close him down and his crisp shot from 25 yards finds the far corner. 

Leicester need to respond. 

[15 December 2018 15:48 · Nathan Jacobs]

He's a central midfielder. 

Don't know whether that's a good thing or whether it shows how poor their forwards are....

HALF TIME: 

Palace 1-0 Leicester 

Huddersfield 0-0 Newcastle 

Tottenham 0-0 Burnley 

Watford 1-0 Cardiff 

Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth 

Not many goals so far but Palace, Watford and Wolves take narrow leads into the break. 

[15 December 2018 16:00 · Nathan Jacobs]

And we're back underway in the 3PMs. 

Are we going to get a glut of goals in this second half? 

[15 December 2018 16:09 · Nathan Jacobs]

The weather is absolutely bucketing it down across the country. 

Perhaps this is why we're so low on goals at the moment. 

Or maybe I'm just trying to make an excuse.

GOAL! Watford 2-0 Cardiff (Holebas, 52) 

Another beauty from the Hornets as they look safe and secure. 

Deulofeu finds the full back who curls a beauty into the top right corner. 

They can play some really impressive stuff sometimes and they look to have done so again, today.

Milivojevic celebrating opening the scoring!  

[15 December 2018 16:16 · Nathan Jacobs]

GOAL! Huddersfield 0-1 Newcastle (Rondon, 55)

What a fantastic team goal from the Magpies.

Perez spots Manquillo's run inside him, and the Spaniard, 25 yards out doesn't need a second invitation to curl a pass around the Huddersfield defenders to find Rondon's late run at the far post. 

Newcastle have had very low possession in their game but the two best chances in the half and now they've opened the scoring!
