Heung-Min Son again came to the rescue of Tottenham as he scored the lone goal which ensured the London club rake all three points in their crunch tie against Burnley.

Both teams looked like they were going to share points in the match until the 76th minute when Harry Kane runs to the near post, flicks on a corner, and Son Heung-min dives in to plant his header into the top corner.

Tottenham controlled the entire match attempting five shots on goal and holding 62 percent ball possession.
