1-0 to Spurs and that changes the dynamic of the game. Burnley's players and staff are still contesting the decision of both VAR and the referee. They're now checking if Son is onside in the build-up which suggests they think it's a handball. That late penalty has changed the whole dynamic of the match and why Ashley Barnes had his arms so high up in the arm is baffling. There's a VAR check for a handball as well. This was not like the first half performances against Brighton or Brentford without a shot on target. Son is well onside. Another free-kick and Nathan Collins heads over the bar. Of the three, Lucas was the one who did the best, finding a couple of gaps and presenting Kane with two good chances to score, which he spurned. Kane had said ahead of the match that Tottenham needed to play with high energy in order to penetrate Burnley's low block and they did on the whole. The Burnley players and staff were furious at the decision but both VAR and Kevin Friend were in agreemeent and it's a difficult one to find an argument against. Lovely move from Spurs, starting with good feet from Emerson and Sanchez on the edge of their box, before battling from Sessegnon down the left and ending with Kane firing over the crossbar.

3. Son desperate for Golden Boot: He was denied brilliantly by Nick Pope twice in the second half and both time he look devastated. The Clarets played well and both Cornet and Barnes went close, while they were solid defensively and very slick on the ball. Ashley Barnes’ arm was outstretched and in an unnatural position but before VAR this would never have been given as a penalty kick as it was missed in real-time. The hosts continued to have the better chances but Burnley had a good chance on the break as Maxwel Cornet was played in over the top but Hugo Lloris did well to deny him. 2. Burnley can still stay up: They play at Aston Villa and at home against Newcastle in their final two games of the season and they can still stay up. The decision was harsh on Barnes but he had his arm raised out and as soon as the replay arrived, we all knew what would happen.

It took Burnley 23 minutes to get a spell of possession in Tottenham’s half, and when they did they threatened. Son Heung-min tried to catch out Nick Pope at the near post before Nathan Collins hooked Kane’s close-range header off the line from Ryan Sessegnon’s cross, in an opening that Spurs roundly dominated. Antonio Conte’s team can reasonably lay a claim to having recovered pole position in the top-four race.
