Burnley Land Heavy Blow💥 to Spurs' Title Hopes
Harry Kane scored on his return from injury but Tottenham's Premier League title charge was halted with a 2-1 defeat at Burnley after Ashley Barnes' late strike.
Spurs were looking to add to a run of four consecutive wins and would have moved within two points of leaders Manchester City and Liverpool with a victory at Turf Moor on Saturday.
But in-form Burnley posed a strong challenge and the Clarets took the lead through Chris Wood's header from a Dwight McNeil corner the visitors felt was incorrectly awarded.
Kane, who was sidelined for six weeks by an ankle problem, appeared to have claimed a point for Spurs but Barnes - who has now scored in four consecutive top-flight outings - turned in decisively from close range with seven minutes to go.
