On the evening of May 11, Beijing time, in the 37th round of the English Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur played Burnley at home. In the end, Tottenham relied on the joint goals of Porro and Van der Ven to reverse the 2-1 victory, ending the four-game losing streak and sending Burnley to relegation two rounds in advance.
The league has entered the final stage, and the worst team among the BIG6 teams is Tottenham, which can be called the number one pseudo-strong team, losing Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool in a row, suffering 4 consecutive defeats, and not scoring a point leads to a very serious situation in the fight for four, and continues to lag behind the fourth-ranked Villa by 7 points in one less round.
In this round, Tottenham returned to host the relegation team Burnley, five points behind the relegation zone and very close to relegation. The two sides met for the first time this season, with Tottenham thrashing Burnley 5-2 away.
After the opening, both teams attacked and defended each other, and both created scoring opportunities. In the 4th minute, Odobert made a series of feints to shake the cross, and Vitinho's header was saved. In the 7th minute, Kulu sent in a cross and Johnson's push from the back post was also saved.
In the 24th minute, Borg made a series of passes, and Bren Larsson burst into the box and fired a low shot to give Burnley a 1-0 lead.
In the 31st minute, after Porro and Johnson played together, they drove straight into the penalty area and volleyed to help Tottenham equalize 1-1.
According to the statistics of half-time, Tottenham Hotspur has the overall advantage, with 8 shots on goal and 3 on target in 60% possession, nearly 90% pass completion rate, and Burnley 4 shots and 3 on target.
In the second half, Tottenham stepped up their attack, Son Heung-min burst into the box and swept in front of goal, Johnson was close to the empty goal, and missed a great opportunity.
In the 82nd minute, Van der Ven stopped the ball and pushed the goal to help Tottenham complete the comeback 2-1.
Shortly afterwards, Sergio Romero's header was brilliantly saved by the goalkeeper and Tottenham eventually came back from 2-1.
With the win, Tottenham ended a four-game losing streak in the league and reached 63 points, just four points away from fourth-placed Villa and retaining their hopes of top-four finish. In addition, after Tottenham's reversal, he also personally sent Burnley to be relegated to the Championship ahead of schedule, becoming the second team to be relegated after Sheffield United.
According to the schedule, Villa will host Liverpool in this round of the league, the latter missed the title two rounds in advance, plus locked the top four in advance, and there is no pressure to grab points, which is conducive to Villa's all-out victory. A home win over Liverpool would secure a top-four finish for next season's Champions League, with Tottenham only eligible for next season's Europa League.
