It was a triumph in the face of adversity as we came away with a victory at Burnley on 1 April, 2017.
April Fools' Day was no joke as we lost central midfielders Harry Winks and Victor Wanyama to injury in the first half. Thankfully, we had the strength of Mousa Dembele and Moussa Sissoko to call upon, and goals from Eric Dier (66 minutes) and Heung-Min Son (77) secured the points.
It was our 11th win in 14 matches as we continued to pursue leaders Chelsea in the Premier League. We would eventually finish second with a Club record 86 points.
