Burnley relegated as Spurs keep Champions league hopes alive
Micky van de Ven’s late goal has kept Tottenham’s Champions League hopes alive, but their 2-1 win condemned Burnley to Premier League relegation.
Both teams needed a win for their respective battles at either end of the table, and Jacob Bruun Larsen’s goal (25) gave the Clarets hope of three points.
But in an even first half, a fine solo effort from Pedro Porro (32) gave Tottenham an equaliser soon after.
Spurs dominated the second half, but it took an 82nd-minute strike from Van de Ven to secure their victory.
The win sees Tottenham close the gap to four points on Aston Villa, who face Liverpool on Monday Night Football. But Unai Emery’s side will secure fourth spot if they win that game, meaning Spurs will miss out on Champions League football for next season.
