Toby Alderweireld tells his Tottenham forwards 'to create more' as Belgian defender calls for quality in final third

Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld has told his team-mates at the other end of the pitch to man up and start scoring more ahead of Sunday's tie against Burnley.

Mauricio Pochettino's team have the joint-best defence in the Premier League but have scored fewer than Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace, who are in a fight for survival.

Alderweireld feels they need to be 'more mature' in front of goal and the Belgium international has called on Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Co to create chances and get clinical.
