Burnley 2 Tottenham 1: Barnes hits late winner after Kane's goalscoring return

Fit-again striker Harry Kane scored on his return to the Tottenham team, but they lost 2-1 at Burnley thanks to a late Ashley Barnes goal.

Harry Kane scored on his return from injury but Tottenham's Premier League title charge was halted with a 2-1 defeat at Burnley after Ashley Barnes' late strike.

Spurs were looking to add to a run of four consecutive wins and would have moved within a point of leaders Manchester City and Liverpool with a victory at Turf Moor on Saturday.

But in-form Burnley posed a strong challenge and the Clarets took the lead through Chris Wood's header from a Dwight McNeil corner the visitors felt was incorrectly awarded.
