Burnley were seconds away from their first Premier League victory since October, only for Cristian Romero to snatch a late headed equaliser for Tottenham in a 2-2 draw. The Clarets had fought back from an early deficit to lead 2-1.

The result extends Burnley's frustrating winless run, leaving them deep in the relegation battle. For Tottenham, the point keeps them in the hunt for a top-four finish, though dropping two points against a struggling side will frustrate manager Ange Postecoglou.

Burnley’s resilience under Vincent Kompany was evident, but defensive lapses cost them dearly. Tottenham’s reliance on Romero’s set-piece threat proved vital. The focus now shifts to Burnley’s next fixture, where securing a win remains imperative for their survival hopes.
