Tottenham vs Burnley LIVE!

Tottenham made a confidence-boosting start to the Premier League season on Saturday, cruising to a 3-0 home win over newly promoted Burnley. After being linked with a move away from the club earlier in the summer, Richarlison got the nod at striker at hit a remarkable double to set the Lilywhites on their way. He volleyed home from Mohammed Kudus’ bobbling cross in the first half, and followed it up with a sweetly taken scissor kick after the break.

Brennan Johnson added a third shortly after Richarlison’s second, after which Spurs were content to let off the accelerator and walk to the finish. Thomas Frank can be encouraged by his new signings’ performances after Kudus posed the hosts’ most consistent threat throughout the afternoon. He has slight cause for concern, though, after he was forced to withdraw Richarlison after the Brazilian seemed to pick up a groin injury.

For Scott Parker, it is back to the drawing board. After a summer of considerable turnover at Turf Moor, he clearly needs more time on the training pitch to get all his new faces on song. Catch up with the action as it happened below!
