Cristian Romero rescued Tottenham a point with a 90th-minute header in a dramatic 2-2 draw at Burnley. The defender's flying finish cancelled out Lyle Foster's late strike, which had put the Clarets ahead after Micky van de Ven's first-half goal and Axel Tuanzebe's equaliser.

The result extends Spurs' winless Premier League run to five matches in 2026, with manager Thomas Frank under increasing pressure from travelling fans. For Burnley, the draw maintains their grim 14-match winless streak, their longest since 1970, as they fight for survival in the top flight.

Both sides had chances to win it; Guglielmo Vicario and Martin Dubravka made crucial saves. Tottenham's lack of a win since December highlights their ongoing struggles, while Burnley's five draws in six games show a stubborn defensive resolve but a continued inability to secure victories.
