Tottenham solid at Burnley as Dier and Son secure a crucial win in title race

This is a modal window.

Tottenham beat Burnley 2-0 to keep themselves alive in the title race after Chelsea slipped up.

Two goals midway through the second half secured Tottenham a 2-0 win on Saturday, beating a Burnley side that hadn't lost at home in the Premier League since the end of November last year.

After a cagey and sometimes lethargic first half in which Dele Alli wasted a glorious chance to put Tottenham ahead, the visitors looked much sharper and more focused in the second 45 minutes.

Mauricio Pochettino's men went ahead when Burnley failed to clear a Christian Eriksen corner and Eric Dier shot home.
