Burnley 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur Highlights: Ben Mee – Burnley emerge with three crucial points from a scruffy affair at windswept Turf Moor, thanks to a trademark back-post header from Mee and some industrious performances elsewhere – making them good value for the win. Following Saturday’s high, a relatively subdued Tottenham only briefly threatened today, but failed to capitalise on a dominant spell between half-time and the goal, and ultimately head back to the capital pointless – plus seven points adrift of fourth place.

Burnley 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur Highlights: Ben Mee scores the winner
Tottenham lose ground after lacklustre finishing allows Burnley to pick up three big points. Despite Spurs taking control of the game early on it was Burnley who had the first few efforts of the match calling goalkeeper Hugo Lloris into action.
Over time the visitors continued to dominate possession but the likes of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son struggled to find their scoring touch. Things remained 0-0 at the break with only one shot on target between the two sides coming at the hands of the hosts.
The match continued to be a nervy affair in the second half with Spurs pulling the strings in midfield. New signing Dejan Kulusevski came inches away from opening the scoring but will rue the missed opportunity as a Ben Mee header made things 1-0 for Burnley minutes later against the run of play.
With time running out Antonio Conte’s side continued to ramp up the pressure but their lacklustre finishing couldn’t beat the likes of Nick Pope and company. In the end, time ran out and the hosts pick up three big points and move to eighteenth while Spurs stay eighth.
