Tottenham Hotspur beat Burnley 1-0 on Saturday afternoon.
Tottenham Hotspur made it three Premier League wins in a row on Saturday afternoon as they beat Burnley 1-0 at Wembley Stadium.
Spurs went into the game having drawn 1-1 at Barcelona in midweek to secure their passage into the last 16 of the Champions League, but it was back to the bread and butter of the Premier League on Saturday.
Burnley were the visitors to North London, and most expected Mauricio Pochettino’s men to ease past the struggling Clarets and pick up another win after defeating Southampton and Leicester City.
However, Burnley were resilient, frustrating the hosts just like they did to so many teams last season, and looked to be on the verge of leaving back for East Lancashire with a point.
Unfortunately for Sean Dyche’s men, Spurs kept going and kept going right until the very end, and did finally get their winner as Christian Eriksen met Harry Kane’s pass in the dying stages, and scored to seal a 1-0 win.
That was Pochettino’s 100th Premier League win as Spurs boss, becoming the first Tottenham coach to do so, and beating Arsene Wenger to that tally in 10 fewer games – something Gary Lineker celebrated on Twitter.
Lineker was then asked where he thinks Pochettino will go in the future, and offered the clever response of suggesting that after he leaves Wembley, he will follow Spurs to their new stadium, and added that he hasn’t won a trophy yet because he hasn’t been given the money to do so.
