Romero salvages a point for Spurs

Cristian Romero scored a Ninetieth-minute equaliser to rescue some extent for Tottenham as they drew 2-2 at Burnley, a consequence that may do little to ease the stress on Thomas Frank.

The Champions League supplied some respite to the under-fire Frank in midweek as Spurs cruised previous Borussia Dortmund.

Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke expressed his hope that the defeat of Dortmund would function a turning level in Spurs’ season. Nevertheless, that hope appeared set to be in useless after Burnley got here from behind to steer 2-1 late on.

Micky van de Ven slammed Tottenham forward within the thirty eighth minute, just for Axel Tuanzebe to stage on the stroke of half-time.

Lyle Foster accomplished the turnaround when his effort on the rebound squirmed over the road within the 76th minute.

But there was a twist within the story that prevented Burnley from ending their 13-game Premier League winless run, captain Romero heading house brilliantly from Wilson Odobert’s cross to salvage a share of the spoils.

Whereas Frank was spared the humiliation of a defeat that may have value him his job, the scrutiny on him will doubtless intensify within the wake of one other disappointing Premier League consequence. The hole between Tottenham and the relegation zone is eight factors, with the identical margin separating Spurs from the highest 4 and a spot in subsequent season’s Champions League.

Van of Van Opener

There was little objective mouth motion within the first half till Odobert drew a effective save from Martin Dubravka within the thirty sixth minute.

Dubravka was then required to provide a double save to disclaim Odobert and Conor Gallagher, however there was nothing the Slovak might do to stop Van de Ven from hammering house from the opener.

Odobert then spurned a transparent probability to make it 2-0, firing straight at Dubravka from 12 yards after being performed in by Xavi Simons. Spurs paid the worth for his profligacy when Tuanzebe volleyed house Kyle Walker’s wonderful supply to the again submit.

Romero rescues Tottenham

Burnley have been grateful to Dubravka once more as he produced one other effective cease to maintain out a Solanke header, however the hosts have been the higher crew thereafter.

Guglielmo Vicario fantastically robbed Armando Broja of the ball as he surged into the field following a Burnley break, however the Clarets’ improved efficiency within the second half was rewarded.

Vicario repelled Foster’s preliminary effort after neat link-up play with Jaidon Anthony, however he obtained sufficient on the rebound for the ball to squirm over the road and second Turf Moor into raptures.

Tottenham responded properly, with Dubravka making a flying save to thwart Mathys Tel and Simons rattling the crossbar, and Burnley finally couldn’t maintain on as Romero earned some extent and maybe prolonged his supervisor’s tenure.
