Tottenham achieved a wild boar victory to continue the dream of playing in the Champions League next season, even if it does not depend on them, and returned to condemn Burnley to mathematical relegation (2-1).
Ange Postecoglou’s painting is night and day, with two different times. The first is bad. After the first few minutes in which Muric and Vicario were the stars, and more than Larsen’s goal (25′) which put Kompany’s team ahead, the ‘spurs’ were at a disadvantage in their rush to attack, something this has been consistent throughout the season.
Even the presence of Maddison, fundamental in the creation of the game, did not weaken the rush of his teammates who, despite equalizing with a good shot by Pedro Porro (32′), did not take advantage of the facilities provided of Burnley, especially with a very cautious Kulusevski.
The second half has nothing to do with it. Beyond some clear strategy from the rival, Tottenham brought out their best version except in the sense. Muric was the protagonist with some very creditable saves that made it look like the Londoners would not win the game. Maddison, Porro and especially Sarr and Brennan Johnson, who missed an empty net, had the clearest chance.
Van de Ben had to come to the rescue, on an excursion to a rival area, which ended with his teammates goalless. He controlled it, positioned himself to hit it with his left foot and latched onto the post, where Muric couldn’t reach it no matter how hard he tried (82′). Burnley managed no more draws and by the end of the match they were a Championship team.
