Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley
Tottenham come from behind at home to beat Burnley, dooming Kompany’s side to the Championship in the process as they secure a third-consecutive victory with a 2-1 win. Bruun Larsen gave the visitors the lead after 25 minutes with a well-taken goal thanks in large part to a fantastic Berge assist, but the relegation battlers were pegged back seven minutes later through Porro’s smashed finish. Despite the result hanging in the balance ahead of the restart, Burnley looked sapped of energy as they attempted to stop wave after wave of Spurs attack, with Muric often giving the hosts a chance to start their moves from higher up the pitch. Van de Ven would decide the result eight minutes from time with pinpoint accuracy, beating the goalkeeper at his far post with a low strike. Fully deserving of the three points after creating an expected goals of 2.5, compared to Burnley’s 0.75, Tottenham stay in fifth ahead of their penultimate match of the season against Manchester City on Tuesday. Burnley are relegated to the second division and can finish no higher than 18th, and will play their last game of the campaign next Sunday at home against Nottingham Forest. That concludes our commentary of the Premier League fixture between Tottenham and Burnley, we hope you’ve enjoyed it!
