FREE TO WATCH: Highlights from Burnley’s match against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League

Tottenham just cannot win Premier League games right now.
Saturday’s last-gasp 2-2 draw at Burnley extended their winless league start to 2026 to five matches.
It is also just one win from their last eight league games, in a run which has seen them lose against two of the bottom four – West Ham and Nottingham Forest.

They also needed a 90th-minute equaliser to rescue a 1-1 home draw against bottom-side Wolves in late September, which was Wolves’ first point of the season.
And Spurs required another 90th-minute leveller to avoid defeat at second-bottom Burnley, who came so close to ending their 13-game winless league run.
Spurs’ failure to beat the sides below them, combined with their abysmal form, has not only piled the pressure on boss Thomas Frank but raised concerns they could well get dragged into a relegation battle.
Last season, Spurs finished 17th but were never truly at risk of dropping into the bottom three as they focused on Europa League glory. But this season, the relegation scrap feels different.Spurs started Saturday 10 points above the drop zone, but after the draw at Turf Moor and a second consecutive win for rejuvenated West Ham, Frank’s side sit eight points clear of the bottom three.In a Sky Sports poll, 65 per cent of users believe Spurs are in a relegation battle, while the bookmakers’ odds of relegation continue to drop, with the price now at 20/1.
