LET
Also has Defour MoM

Nick Pope 6
Made some good saves, particularly a double stop from Sissoko, but his kicking was wayward and gifted Spurs two chances

Phil Bardsley 6
A tricky afternoon, especially in the first half against the clever movement of Son Heung-Min, but battled well

Kevin Long 5
Didn’t need to make the challenge that led to the penalty and looked nervy after that. His toughest afternoon so far

Ben Mee 6
A difficult afternoon for the skipper as well, who found it difficult to get to grips with the brilliant Kane

Charlie Taylor 6
Committed tackle to beat Alli to the ball early on. Got forward well to try and give Burnley an option in attack

Johann Berg Gudmundsson 5
Nudged off the ball to easily for the third goal. Well below the high standards he’s set recently

Jack Cork 5
Unusually sloppy in possession and struggled to get Burnley moving forward.

Steven Defour 7 (Man of the Match)
Showed outstanding workrate to try and pressurise Tottenham’s midfield and dangerous creators and looked the most likely to make something happen for the Clarets

Scott Arfield 5
Limited involved in the final third, bar one break in the first half which ended with a tame cross

Jeff Hendrick 5
Was asked to compete for a lot of aerial balls and struggled in that role

Chris Wood 6
Afternoon ended early by injury, but one bright moment in winning the ball and launching a dangerous attack.
