Mauricio Pochettino’s side would have moved within two points of leaders Manchester City with a win at Turf Moor. But they squandered the chance to enhance their title prospects with a sloppy display that saw Chris Wood put Burnley ahead after half-time. There was controversy about Wood’s goal as it came from a corner that Tottenham felt shouldn’t have been given. Moments later, Pochettino was fuming on the touchline as Burnley snatched the lead with Wood’s seventh goal in his last 10 games in the 57th minute. Tottenham had stolen late winners in three of their last four league games, but it was Burnley who finished in the ascendency in the 83rd minute.
