Tottenham vs Burnley LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Kane sends Spurs towards top four
Follow live updates as Spurs look to move above Arsenal into the top four at home to relegation-threatened Burnley
Follow live updates as Tottenham host Burnley in a Premier League fixture that could prove crucial at both ends of the table. Spurs are looking to take advantage of their 3-0 win over Arsenal in the north London derby on Thursday night and can move about their rivals and into the top four with a victory this afternoon. While Tottenham’s Champions League qualification hopes remain out of their hands, Antonio Conte’s side have the chance to ramp up the pressure on Arsenal ahead of their trip to Newcatle on Monday.
Burnley are under a different type of pressure, as the Clarets battle to avoid relegation. Mike Jackson’s team have just three matches left to secure secure their Premier League status and are level with Leeds, albeit with a superior goal difference and a game in hand, heading into the final week of the season. Burnley have picked up 10 points from their last five fixtures to give themselves a chance, and they will look to catch Tottenham cold in this afternoon’s early kick-off, just as Brighton and Brentford have done in recent weeks.
If Tottenham do miss out on the Champions League, will ultimately be down to results such as those, so Conte will know his side cannot afford any more slip-ups as the top-four race goes down to the wire. Follow live updates from Tottenham vs Burnley, below:

Another 45’ to come but Everton know this is a huge position for them to be in - see out the win and they are safe.
Half time - Everton 2-1 Brentford
And there’s the whistle! Half time and it’s 2-1 to Everton, but there was another incident right before the break.
Anthony Gordon went in for a wild tackle and it should have been a foul - not given by the referee yet checked as a possible red card by the VAR.
Interesting takes from the officials.
Anyway, Lampard’s side ahead at the midway point and Thomas Frank very unhappy.
45+2’ - Everton 2-1 Brentford
GOAL!
Richarlison nets in stoppage time and the home side will be in front at the break! Straight down the middle, nice and high, very well-taken penalty by the Brazilian.
Everton back ahead!
45’ - Everton 1-1 Brentford
Penalty to Everton!
Sorensen makes an absolute mess of an attempted header, missing the ball and then putting an arm out to pull down Richarlison!
Spot kick immediately given!
42’ - Everton 1-1 Brentford
Mbeumo and Norgaard both see shooting chances crowded out by the home defence, who are looking increasingly desperate.
The Bees are dominating and shifting the ball quicker since the equaliser - Pickford fists out one strike which is more of a camera save than anything else. Raya at the other end did the same from Gomes a few minutes earlier.
