Tottenham HotspurIt was a tense but ultimately fruitful afternoon at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday as we edged Burnley 1-0.
Despite being frustrated by the Lancashire side for much of the first half, Harry Kane slotted us in front from the spot in the eighth minute of stoppage time after a VAR review saw us awarded a penalty for an Ashley Barnes handball.
After the break, Heung-Min Son twice went close to doubling our advantage however, both times, Clarets goalkeeper Nick Pope produced outstanding saves to deny our number seven. In the end though, Harry's spot-kick proved enough for us as we picked up another vital three points and moved back into the Premier League's top four.
Here’s a look at the key numbers behind the game…
