Turf Moor, Burnley. / 02.09.2023 16:57:18
Tottenham also won when they faced initial adverse circumstances, with a 1-0 down in the 4th minute, suffocated by the pressure from Burnley, but re-emerged as the winner with Heung Min Son’s 1-1 after fifteen minutes and with the 1 -2 from Cristián Romero on the edge of the area and halftime, with an unreachable right foot, which was later increased by James Maddison with the 1-3 and the South Korean striker with the 1-4 and 1-5.
Tottenham’s comeback
The Argentine center-back completed the comeback at the time for the London team, launched with their third consecutive victory, rising to the top of the standings, with ten of the twelve points disputed, in the wake of Manchester City’s leadership, by two points, with a a very valuable victory because of how the match started and because of the reaffirmation it represents for Tottenham, even more so with the number of goals and the superiority they exhibited at Turf Moor.
Because Burnley started intense. Uncomfortable. Despite the fact that they have suffered three defeats in as many duels on their return to the Premier, at first it seemed like one of those teams that is difficult to counteract, due to all the impetus they put into each action. Also because of the pressure he exerts on the opposite field, from the moment the ball is released, perhaps unsustainable, but when he starts it up, he poses a lot of trouble for his opponents.
Only Tottenham felt it in the first stretch, even behind on the scoreboard in minute 4, when a counterattack exposed Pedro Porro in his fight with Koleosho, who reached the end line and crossed back finished off by Forster, from first, with the left, inside the area, to beat Vicario and put the local team ahead.
But the difference between one team and the other is enormous, more than visible, from all perspectives. Also in collective and individual qualities. A simple long pass from Pedro Porro dismantled Burnley, whose defense so advanced suffered with Son Heung Min’s career. He combined it with Solomon, the novelty of the eleven (Richarlison was a substitute), and then stung it for 1-1, with a wonderful definition. Of scorer.
The South Korean attacker’s first goal of the season, today the offensive reference, appeased the spirited Burnley, surpassed on the scoreboard on the brink of halftime with Cristian Romero’s goal. The Argentine world champion hit the rebound with his right foot, put it on the other post, at the height of the squad, unstoppable for goalkeeper James Trafford. It was 1-2.
The resolution of the duel took little longer. Nine minutes into the second half, all the space James Maddison had to prepare and set up his forehand close to the post is an unaffordable concession for any team when Tottenham is in front.
His goal was the sentence, reaffirmed because the London club also has a guaranteed goalkeeper (Vicario flew to avoid the 2-3 with great reflexes) and because Son, the reference in attack, in ‘Harry Kane’ mode, later enlarged the distance, with 1-4 and 1-5, shortly after the time of the crash. Brownhill made it 2-5, already at 93′.
