Tottenham came out 2-0 winners over a tricky Burnley side as they look to continue their unlikely charge for a Premier League title. Even though Burnley have a great home record, it was the away side that started brightly.
Spurs were without Harry Kane in the game but goals from Eric Dier and Son Heung-min ensured they closed the gap to Chelsea to seven points. There were a few problems for the away side as Victor Wanyama and Harry Winks had to be substituted with injuries.
Mauricio Pochettino would be happy with the win and with Chelsea losing, Spurs have opened the door a bit for their own title challenge. They also have an FA Cup semi-final coming up and Twitter was flooded with Spurs fans after the game.
