The Clarets ran out 2-1 winners over Spurs in a Premier League game that saw Mauricio Pochettino confront referee Mike Dean at full time.
Burnley secured a vital result in Saturday’s early kickoff as they edged further away from the Premier League’s danger zone, beating title hopefuls Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at Turf Moor.
Spurs could have closed the gap between them and Manchester City and Liverpool to just two points but a resolute Clarets outfit made sure that wasn’t to be.
Chris Wood broke the deadlock for Sean Dyche’s side early in the second half as he rose to head home Dwight McNeil’s inswinging corner, taking his tally to four goals in four games.
Harry Kane, back from injury, struck back as he connected with Danny Rose’s throw-in and prodded beyond the reach of Tom Heaton, but Ashley Barnes had the last say as he tapped home late on.
There was a flashpoint at full time when Mauricio Pochettino angrily confronted Mike Dean, having taken exception to some of the referee’s decisions during the game.
The Spurs boss had to be pulled away by Clarets defender Phil Bardsley as his frustrations spilled over, later on saying he had “crossed the line” and would “maybe” apologise to Dean.
Here are some of the key images from the game, including the flashpoint at the end of the match:
