In the Early Hours of Thursday's rematch, Burnley played at home to Tottenham, which resulted in the home side beating Tottenham with a header from centre-back Ben Mee. Burnley, who has all three-pointers, has moved up to 18th in the league table, just two points away from 17th-placed Newcastle United and one game short.
Tottenham Hotspur were 3-4-3, with Sesseneon and Emerson at the wingbacks; new signings Rodrigo Bentancour and Pierre Hoyber formed a two-man midfielder; de Jan Kulusewski also got a chance to qualify, with Son Heung-min and Harry Kane forming a three-arrow attack. Burnley was 4-4-2, with attacker Maxwell Corne sidelined with injuries and two tall forwards Walter West and Jay Rodriguez playing the double arrows.
In the first half both sides were tentative and there were not many threatening shots. Spurs controlled the rhythm of the game but did not attack as many times as Burnley (Burnley 15 - Tottenham 12), and the home team bombed Tottenham with crosses from both sides, and won in the 71st minute. Bronhill fired a cross from the right that was topped 1-0 by captain Ben Mi-toe, who was on the far post. In the 82nd minute, Jay Rodriguez also had a chance to hit a close-range shot, but unfortunately he could not take advantage of the situation to pull the score away. However, Burnley still used Ben Mi's goal to repel the visiting Spurs with one goal, taking all three points.
The old problem of Tottenham Hotspur this time still arises, that is, the lack of attack in the position war. In the battle, they can still create opportunities to fight back against Manchester City wholeheartedly, but when they want to attack and dominate the game, they will look a little weak. In the first half, Tottenham Didn't even have a goal on target, which is not very reasonable. After Rodrigo Bentancourt was injured, the team's attack seemed to be much smoother, such as Dejan Kulusewski and Kane had their own shooting opportunities, but they failed to hit the target.
Tottenham's biggest problem, in addition to the lack of creativity on the field, the two wing-backs have not been able to meet the tactical requirements of the "Conte class". Emerson's cross quality difference is also one of the best in the Premier League full-backs, and even if he is allowed to "empty" the ball, the number of times he can find his teammates is also countless. Sessegnon is limited by his own ability, it can be seen that this game he has improved from the previous game or two, but still not good enough, in the one-on-one defense, passing decision-making, there is a lot of room for improvement. Spurs are now seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester United in the league table, and although they have two fewer games, it is not easy to win one of the games with Tottenham's poor game status.
