Burnley are fighting for their survival with everything they’ve got, but they couldn’t claim what would be a precious point at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon.Harry Kane was once again the match-winner as he slotted in cooly from the penalty spot in the first half added time. The penalty award was a rather soft one, but Spurs didn’t mind.The visitors made it very difficult for Antonio Conte’s team by putting a lot of pressure on the Cockerels across the pitch.Harry Kane has scored 21 penalties in a row for Tottenham. #TOTBUR pic.twitter.com/LFUCUJwz4z— The Spurs Express (@TheSpursExpress) May 15, 2022 Buoyed by a sense of injustice over the penalty decision, Burnley were the aggressors after the restart, with Kevin Long and Collins both coming close from set-pieces. The pressure continued as the tension grew among the home fans.They were just a whisker away from a leveller as Ashley Barnes’ seemingly goal-bound rocket bounced off the post and let Hugo Lloris off the hook. There were around 30 minutes still to go and the game looked far from comfortable for the London team.Ryan Sessegnon vs Burnley50 passes88% pass accuracy2 shots4 key passes2 big chances created2 tackles won2 clearances4/5 aerials won7/13 duels wonVery impressive in recent weeks.
