Clarets’ unbeaten run ended on another tough afternoon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
|
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is now one of the finest grounds in the country but the Clarets are yet to find it to their liking after another heavy defeat in Spurs’ new home. Burnley’s first visit to the re-built and re-vamped White Hart Lane last season ended in a 5-0 defeat and their joint heaviest defeat of the Premier League era. And while they avoided a similar fate by one goal this time around, it was still another chastening afternoon as the Clarets saw their four-match unbeaten run come to an end. Whereas the Clarets had won at both Liverpool and Arsenal this season for the first time since 1974, any chance of ending a similar wait for a first top-flight win at Tottenham was effectively over inside a damaging first half-hour. Spurs rattled in three goals inside that spell – including an opener after 68 seconds – as Sean Dyche’s men were brushed aside. And the Clarets – still 15th in the table – must now re-group ready for Wednesday night’s re-arranged visit of Leicester City with the gap above the bottom three down to five points following Fulham’s draw at Crystal Palace earlier in the day.
