Burnley 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur: Ben Mee header gives Clarets important win

Burnley secured back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time in 13 months as skipper Ben Mee scored the only goal to beat Tottenham at a rain-lashed Turf Moor.

Mee rose above Cristian Romero to meet Josh Brownhill's 71st-minute far-post free-kick perfectly and send it back past Hugo Lloris and into the far corner.

It secured a victory that takes Burnley to within two points of safety given their better goal difference - and within striking distance of three of the four sides immediately above them, given Sean Dyche's side still have games in hand.

Burnley could even afford Jay Rodriguez to miss a glorious chance to wrap up victory seven minutes from time when he turned the ball over from three yards with the goal at his mercy.
