Yikes!
The Result:
Tottenham 4, Burnley 0
How It Happened:
Quickly and furiously.
What It Means:
With Fulham and Crystal Palace drawing, Burnley’s five points up on the relegation zone. Still in 15th, so Brighton and Newcastle are thankfully between the lads and Fulham. Bit tight for everyone’s comfort, though.
Other News:
Chris Wood subbed in, signifying that he’s back healthy-ish. Lewis Richardson also subbed in, making his Premier League debut. Lot of guys hurt. Don’t have the full list handy.
General Thoughts:
What is the quote-unquote proper way to clear an uncomfortable nose?
Burnley Thoughts:
Yikes! I mean, not in a bad place, but not in a great place, and the next three (Leicester, Arsenal, at Everton) are tough. Gotta hold on for twelve more matches. Thankfully, Fulham’s got a rough next three (Tottenham, at Liverpool, Man City), but Brighton and Newcastle get to play each other soon, and each gets at least one other advantageous opponent. We’ll see what Wednesday holds. Point would sure be nice. Overall, got six matches left against the top half and six against the bottom half, so pretty even slate.
