Tottenham vs Burnley: Christian Eriksen strikes late to give Spurs win

Re-live the action from Wembley

Tottenham Hotspur: A look back at 2018

Christian Eriksen struck an injury-time winner to end Tottenham Hotspur's frustration against Burnley fc and earn a 1-0 Premier League win.

Spurs looked like enduring a disappointing comedown from their midweek high in Barcelona as they struggled to break the Clarets down at Wembley.

But Eriksen, introduced from the bench, won it in the first minute of time added on when he coolly clipped home.

It was no more than Spurs deserved, as they missed several chances to have the game wrapped up before then, but they got the job done and cemented their place in the top three.

For Burnley it was another away defeat and they continue to hover above the bottom three.

Key Points

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Davies, Rose, Sissoko, Skipp, Lamela, Moura, Alli, Kane

I haven't reported on every substitution in the 3PMs but a big one at Molineux as Callum Wilson takes to the field to replace Jordon Ibe on the hour mark.

Can he inspire a comeback?

GOAL! Watford 3-0 Cardiff (Quina, 68) 

There really is a goal-of-the-season competition going on at Vicarage Road at the minute! 

And I couldn't tell you which is the best. 

But Watford's third is another delight. Sema's lay off finds the youngster who doesn't lash at it. Instead, he places it to the left of Etheridge and into the net. 

A glorious goal from about 25 yards. Game. Over.

GOAL! Watford 3-1 Cardiff (Hoilett, 80)

It's a game of curlers! 

Astonishing stuff as Cardiff get involved with a goal of their own. 

It's an absolute cracker, very similar to his goal from last weekend against Wolves and can Cardiff salvage a way back into this game?

GOAALL!! Watford 3-2 Cardiff (Reid, 82) 

Yes, they bloody well might! 

Bobby Reid has astonishingly scored a quick-fire second but this one is not a cracker. 

Foster does brilliantly to keep Bamba's effort out but the rebound falls to Bobby Reid who's first strike is blocked well but his second shot is prodded in. 

A big lifeline for Cardiff who might have been lucky there as there was possibly an offside in there, somewhere.

SPURS 0-0 Burnley 

The only game which remains 0-0 in the Premier League is at Wembley. 

It was probably the only game you wouldn't expect the 0-0 to come in but Spurs may be tired from their Barcelona exploits and Burnley are just about keeping them out. 

Alli has his head in his hands as he thought he was about to nick it but it's somehow kept out.

SPURS 1-0 BURNLEY (Eriksen, 90+1) 

HUGE GOAL! I just said there wasn't a goal BUT THERE IS NOW! 

Tottenham NEEDED that desperately and it's the substitute Eriksen with it. 

​Spurs show the composure they needed in this last second but Burnley just allowed them a bit too much space. Kane lays it off for Eriksen who fires in to the near top corner. 

Poor Joe Hart who has had a fantastic game.

GOAL! Wolves 2-0 Bournemouth (Cavaleiro, 90+2) 

Wolves have made it secure through Cavaleiro and it's much deserved.

FULL TIME and BREATHE! 

The full times are in in the Premier League and it wasn't filled with goals but there are certainly some big results across the division. 

Palace 1-0 Leicester 

Huddersfield 0-1 Newcastle 

Tottenham 1-0 Burnley

Watford 3-2 Cardiff 

Wolves 2-0 Bournemouth
