Tottenham, which didn’t handle a shot heading in the right direction within the first half at Burnley, moved as much as fifth within the standings and didn’t even want Gareth Bale being deployed from the bench.

“We’ve dropped points where we shouldn’t have this season so we’ve still got a lot to learn, but nights like this will definitely give us that confidence,” Kane mentioned.”We’re simply on the stage the place we’ve been so shut for therefore a few years and I feel the additions this season have given us extra leaders on the pitch and made us extra skilled.”Burnley is caught on one level.

WEST BROM WINLESSWest Bromwich remains to be looking for its first win however Karlan Grant did rescue a 3rd level of the season by equalizing for a 1-1 draw at Brighton.

“The way he smashed it was brilliant for him,” West Brom supervisor Slaven Bilic mentioned, “and brilliant for us.”Brighton is 2 factors higher off than West Brom with 5 factors.

“We created some chances, we created some opportunities and we need to carry on with that and then we have to learn a bit more about the second half and what we can do a little bit better,”Brighton supervisor Graham Potter mentioned.”But once more I feel it’s important to credit score West Brom as a result of they performed higher and had been behind within the recreation however can have that mentality, so (there’s) loads for us to enhance on.”
