Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur lost on Saturday.
Tottenham Hotspur are challenging Liverpool and Manchester City for the Premier League title this season, but their chances of winning the championship took a hit on Saturday afternoon.
Spurs were expected to win against Burnley away from home at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.
After all, the Clarets are fighting for survival in the top flight of English football, while Tottenham have been in great form and have a superb football team.
However, it was Burnley who picked up all three points from the match courtesy of a 2-1 win.
Although Tottenham had chances, the Clarets probably deservedly won the Premier League encounter.
The result means that Spurs are now third in the league table with 60 points from 27 matches.
The North London outfit are five points behind City and Liverpool, who are first and second respectively in the standings, with the Reds having played 26 games.
Mauricio Pochettino was bitterly disappointed at the final result, as the following photo of the Tottenham manager after the match shows:
