    Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

    Another chance!

    The free-kick is sent in to a packed box and met by Nathan Collins, but he heads over. Two early warning signs for the home side.

  2. YELLOW CARDpublished at 49 mins

    Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

    Now Charlie Taylor is tripped on the left near the Spurs box. It is a tangle of legs with Lucas Moura that causes it and sees the Tottenham forward booked.

    Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

    Oh, this is a chance!

    The free-kick is slung in and met by Kevin Long, who sends his downward header just wide. He may have fouled his marker to get there, but it still had Hugo Lloris worried.

  4. Postpublished at 48 mins

    Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

    Already a few signs of more attacking intent from Burnley. They try to get Maxwell Cornet in down the left but Davinson Sanchez intercepts.

    Then Ryan Sessegnon fouls a man on the left for a free-kick. This is only going one place.

    Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

    That goal late in the first-half completely changes this now.

    At some point, Burnley have to offer something meaningful going forward and that will leave room for Spurs to exploit. A balancing act.

    Let's see how it plays it. We are back under way.

    Freddie: Difficult half for Spurs. They really do struggle when teams do not give any space for Spurs to exploit on the counter attack. The penalty a real blessing and will boost top four hopes.

    Paul Harris: If Spurs don’t get 4th they certainly can’t claim it’s because they’ve been unlucky. So many key decisions at key moments have gone their way.

    Ann: Spurs fan here. I think Burnley's formation is smart, by playing so defensively we're forced to encourage them to attack to give ourselves more space. Also thought pen was cruel, his arm was out because he'd been avoiding the incoming ball.

    Steve: Very unfair to say Burnley are a joke. The premier league should not be the preserve of the wealthy only and just a hobby for rich foreign owners. Burnley are a wonderful example of how a club should be run (apart from the unfair sacking of Sean Dyche). Their contribution to the premier league should be admired.

    HT: Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

    Harry Kane has now netted nine goals in 12 Premier League appearances against Burnley. He is the leading Premier League goalscorer versus the Clarets (one more than Riyad Mahrez and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang).

    Rachel: He never misses! Boom.

    CH: That hit him on the sleeve, didn't it? If that's a penalty, the one where Rodri almost caught it against Everton certainly was.

    Wayne Ellis: Really daft by Barnes, no reason to have his arm held out like that

    Mark: Burnley are nothing but a joke, fighting for their lives but yet putting ten men behind the ball, literally embarrassing and in all honesty I really Hope they will be joining both Norwich and Watford in the Championship.

    Relief for Tottenham as the whistle goes for half-time. They were struggling before it, but that VAR intervention means they are where they want to be.

    BBC Sport at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

    A fast start turned into a frustrating half for Tottenham - especially for their fans who have very noisily and persistently complained about perceived time-wasting from the Clarets, especially at goal-kicks - and this game is very much in the balance.

    Burnley survived some intense early pressure and have grown into the game - and have even had the best chance so far, which Maxwel Cornet did not make the most of.

    This VAR check is interesting though... Spurs fans behind me are chanting "penalty"

    Oh hang on... is a penalty in the offing?!

    Davinson Sanchez's shot from the corner clearly strikes Ashley Barnes' arm in the box. It was outstretched as well.

    Burnley could be in bother here.
