Player ratings

Florentino Luís goes up and wins it — 7.75

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.75 for the rest of it.

Squad

Marcus Edwards in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Burnley this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Burnley see off Tottenham

Three points for Burnley, 2‑0 the final word against Tottenham in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Words at Burnley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Florentino Luís is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

Marcus Edwards in the eights

A performance of 8.14 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Rafael Martins knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Burnley, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

No hiding place for Connor Roberts

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Connor Roberts, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Zian Flemming runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 7. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Logan Pye leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Logan Pye leaves Burnley the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

In brief
