Tottenham Hotspur salvaged a point in a 2-2 draw against Burnley at Turf Moor, thanks to a 90th-minute header from Cristian Romero. The result came after Burnley twice came from behind, with goals from Axel Tuanzebe and Lyle Foster, but did little to ease the pressure on Spurs manager Thomas Frank. Burnley extended their winless Premier League run to 14 games.
The Premier League match at Turf Moor on January 24, 2026, saw Tottenham take the lead in the 38th minute when Micky van de Ven hammered home from close range after a series of saves by Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
Burnley leveled just before half-time, with Axel Tuanzebe volleying in Kyle Walker's delivery to the back post. The hosts then completed the turnaround in the 76th minute, as Lyle Foster's rebound effort squirmed over the line following a save by Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario.
Tottenham responded late, with Dubravka making crucial stops, including a flying save on Mathys Tel and Xavi Simons hitting the crossbar. Romero's header from Wilson Odobert's cross in the 90th minute secured a draw, preventing what could have been a damaging loss for Spurs.
Manager Thomas Frank defended his team's performance post-match, stating, “I don’t think it was a bad performance... Dubravka was Man of the Match, he was that for a reason. That means we did a lot of things right offensively.” He highlighted a strong first half and character shown to equalize, though admitted defensive lapses cost them. Frank added, “We did more than enough to win it. But unfortunately not.”
The draw leaves Tottenham eight points above the relegation zone and the same margin from Champions League spots, amid fan chants calling for Frank's dismissal. Burnley, under Scott Parker, remain winless in 14 league games, despite recent draws against top sides.
Lineups reflected recent form: Burnley unchanged with Dubravka in goal; Tottenham made three changes, starting Dominic Solanke for his first league outing this season.
