Briefly they stopped in order to clap some of their players from the field but it was a temporary reprieve. It did give Scott Parker’s team some solidity through the middle and for a while Tottenham struggled to make inroads. Odobert – once a Burnley player of course – tested Dubravka from distance in the 37th minute and the Burnley goalkeeper touched the ball behind. They kept pushing and moments after the excellent Simons struck the bar with a rising shot in the 89th minute, Spurs hauled themselves off the floor. Tottenham worked the ball left to right and when Simons crossed, Romero dived to head superbly in.
