Spurs seized the lead in the eighth minute of first-half stoppage time thanks to Kane’s spot-kick, his second of the week, which was granted after a VAR review for a handball by Ashley Barnes.

On 62 minutes, Barnes almost equalized for Burnley, but his 20-yard shot hit the outside of the post.

Spurs pressed for a second, but Pope was in fine form, making two spectacular saves to deny Son.

Spurs are now in fourth place with 68 points, two points ahead of their nearest competitors despite having played one more match.

Burnley sits in 18th place with 34 points, a point and a place behind Leeds United, with a game in hand.
