Results Burnley vs Tottenham 27/10 Premier League 2020/21

Final: Burnley 0-1 Tottenham
Scored: Son Heung Min 76 ‘

After a 3-3 draw at West Ham a week ago, coach José Mourinho did not criticize his students in front of the media. However, the Portuguese military leader was told not to say a word to his students for 2 consecutive days. The tense atmosphere was driven by Mourinho in that way. And that therapy worked immediately as Tottenham quickly returned to the winning streak by crushing LASK Linz (Austria) 3-0 in their opener of the Europa League group stage.

Returning to the front of the Premier League with a restored positive atmosphere, Tottenham marched to Burnley field. Right now, the Spurs play better on the road than at home. They have won the 3 closest guest trips, including 2 destructive shows: Southampton (5-2) and MU (6-1).

In the great victory against MU, the London team were very successful with a courageous 4-3-3 scheme. To solve the problem of the absence of a leading midfielder, coach Mourinho arranged three intercepting midfielders at the midline, including Sissoko, Hojbjerg and Ndombele. The strength and sweeping ability of this trio helps Tottenham fully dominate the midline (holding the ball up to 65%), thus creating a solid springboard for the Spurs attack to sublimate with the much-loved duo Harry. Kane – Son Heung Min.

Meanwhile, Burnley is among the worst local clubs in the Premier League. Last season, the number of points they scored on the hole was just 2 points higher than their road record. This season, Burnley is not known to have won in the last 2 home games: 0-1 loss to Southampton in Premier League round 3 and 0-3 to Man City in League Cup round 4.

For Tottenham, the Turf Moor field is not a scary destination either. They lost only 1/8 of their last visit to this venue since 2004. In last season’s return season, Tottenham, despite losing both Son and Kane, were still in the stream to regain 1 point at Turf Moor , with the draw scored by midfielder Dele Alli that day he was ready to play …

In this reunion, Dele Alli was not even on the playlist even though he had no health problems because everyone knew that since the start of the 2020/21 season, the English midfielder was “black sheep” in the eyes. Although the two sides denied José Mourinho, in fact Dele Alli was hardly able to play.

The reason José Mourinho bluntly eliminated Dele Alli was partly because Spurs own the deepest squad in the Premier League today, which is why the absence of a player was once a major pillar of the team. What effect does it have on joint strength?

As for this game against Burnley, on the Tottenham bench, there are all brilliant names, strong enough to kick visitors like Lo Celso, Lamela, Reguilon, Carlos Vinicius (rookie featured in LASK’s win a few days ago) and also Gareth Bale (not a major player in the Premier League this season).

Today, Tottenham used a 4-2-3-1, not a 4-3-3 as expected, but three “muscular” midfielders Sissoko – Hojbjerg – Ndombele who continued to be used, in which Ndombele emerged taller as a ” number 10 “and the remaining name on the line alongside the” unassailable “duo Son – Kane is Lucas Moura.

The game was exciting right after the kickoff. Host Burnley doesn’t defend negatively, but he’s ready to play a fair game for the Spurs. However, the half of the first half went by almost without creating a really dangerous opportunity despite the ball continually circulating towards the goal from both sides.

Exactly at 20 minutes Ashley Barnes kicked the net with Hugo Lloris after a cross from the left wing, but in fact, the forward fell into a very clear offside position without the need for the VAR team to detect as well. Due to the “hunger” for opportunities and of course the goal, it cannot be said that the professional quality of the match is high.

In the second half of the first, the situation was not much better. Sometimes the ball also got into the penalty area from both sides, but they were all broken by the defense, but they had not turned into an opportunity to shoot at goal.

It was not until minute 38 that the first hit on the target appeared. After stealing the ball from Ndombele, Brownhill pushed Ashley Westwood to launch a powerful shot from outside the 16m50 line, but goalkeeper Hugo Lloris fell short.

A few minutes later, the Tottenham captain had to show his talent again after passing the ball to the center and then Gudmundsson’s left-footed shot from close to the area. Going into the second half, Burnley is still superior in the number of chances he has, although only from outside the 16m50 line.

In the 49th minute, Ben Davies carelessly passed, giving Brownhill a shot on goal, but the ball was not correct. In the 56th minute, Wood hit Barnes’s head like a wall for Barnes once more from afar and this time midfielder Alderweireld was in time to intervene, helping Lloris relax.

Before the local team’s draw, José Mourinho had to act early when Lamela came in to replace Lucas Moura, but the situation did not improve much. He lost on the line but Harry Kane made his mark on … defense. In the 72nd minute, the British star arrived on the line in time to clear the ball after Tarkowski’s header from a corner.

However, Tottenham once again ended the game with a pace that has become all too familiar this season. In the 76th minute, Lamela took a corner and Harry Kane blew a tactical lead for his favorite teammate Son Heung Min, who hit the head to connect Burnley’s net.

This is the eighth goal for “Ronaldo Corea” in the Premier League this season, helping him rise to the top of the “tournament goalscorer” list and the 29th time the Kane vs Son duo have combined to create a goal abroad. English class.

After the deadlock cleared, the Spurs played much more gracefully. In the 83rd minute, after coordinating with Son Heung Min, Lo Celso led the way for Lamela to control with his chest and finished with his left foot, but it was not difficult for Nick Pope.

The rest of the time, despite great efforts, Burnley could not turn the tables and accepted the fifth defeat after the first 6 days of the 2020/21 Premier League, thus remaining in the last group.

Meanwhile, the victory brought Tottenham to fifth place with 11 points, 2 points behind the leading team, Everton. This is also the first time in the 2020/21 Premier League that Spurs have not conceded and the 1-0 is also a “true victory for José Mourinho”.
