Tottenham 4-2-3-1
Lloris 6
Down quickly to deny Westwood and Gudmondsson on a quiet night.
Doherty 5
Struggled on occasions to contain overlaps on his side and did not get forward much.
Alderweireld 6
Suffered a cut above the eyebrow in aerial challenge with Barnes, stood up well after.
Dier 6
Had his hands full with Burnley’s forwards but stood firm and organised well.
Davies 5
Offered plenty of width but final ball lacking, superb block on Westwood.

Sissoko 5
Some first half interventions but faded from the game as it wore on.
Hojbjerg 6
Clever and selfless night’s work for midfield anchor allowing Davies to get forward.
Moura 6
Waspish threat, good lateral runs at pace from right flank but in and out of the game.
Ndombele 6
Surging runs through middle gave real energy first half but petered out as game went on.
Son 6
Outmuscled on occasions and seemed to struggle to get into the pace of the game until he headed home the late winner.
Kane 6
Few clear sights of goal and effectively shackled by Burnley’s centre back pairing. Got the assist by flicking on a corner.
