Spurs vs Burnley 2023/4

Spurs 1 – 0 Burnley (15^th May 2022)

Spurs’ most recent match against newly promoted Burnley was in May 2022 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The home team secured a deserved 1-0 victory that day.

Ahead of this match, Tottenham were sat in 5^th place with 65 points, and they were still in the race for Champions League football going into the final few weeks of the season. Just 1 point separated Spurs and their North London rivals Arsenal in 4^th, whilst there was only a 5 point gap between themselves and 3^rd place Chelsea.

Speaking of Arsenal, Tottenham faced the Gunners in their most recent match before playing Burnley. The Lilywhites won the North London Derby bragging rights after an emphatic 3-0 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs’ goals came courtesy of Heung-Min Son (47’) and a Harry Kane brace (22’ penalty & 37’).

Meanwhile, Burnley were sat in 17^th place with 34 points, and were only outside of the relegation zone on goal difference.

The match very nearly got off to the best of starts for Spurs through Davinson Sanchez, with the Colombian central defender having his effort on goal well blocked by the Clarets defenders within the first five minutes (4’).

Ryan Sessegnon was the next Lilywhites player to presented with an early goal scoring opportunity. The ex-Fulham player saw his header blocked well by the Burnley defence after making contact with a Lucas Moura cross into the box (7’).

Emerson Royal also had an effort blocked (10’), before a shot from Moura was also blocked by the defenders (11’).

Harry Kane then had two chances of his own. His initial header was saved well by then-Burnley Goalkeeper Nick Pope (13’), before having a second effort on goal blocked by the visiting defence (17’).

Late on in the first half, Kane had another opportunity with a shot that went narrowly wide of the post (45+1’), with Rodrigo Bentancur’s effort on goal also going wide a few moments later (45+2’).

Spurs would not be frustrated for much longer as they were awarded a penalty by VAR just before the half time break, following a hand ball from Ashley Barnes (45+4’). It came as no surprise when Harry Kane scored the resulting spot kick to give Spurs a deserved lead at half time (45+8’).

It was almost 2-0 early in the second half when Tottenham were presented with a plethora of opportunities. The first came through Kane who had a shot blocked before a Sessegnon effort went wide seconds later (56’).

Kane had then had another opportunity which resulted in the ball flying just over the crossbar (57’).

Both sides continued to have opportunities to add to the score line, but ultimately, it was Spurs who came away with a deserved 1-0 Premier League victory.

Tottenham dominated possession and shots on target. The home side had 68.3% possession (Burnley had 31.7%) and Spurs also had 8 shots on target in comparison to just 1 for the Clarets.
