Spurs are still in the thick of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) race heading into the final stretch of the season. Despite facing relegation-threatened Burnley, Tottenham fielded a full squad of their best players, including captain Son Heung-min, James Maddison, and Micky Vanderboven.

But they were dealt an early blow. In the 25th minute, Sander Berger beat all of his defenders to the ball in the opposition half and slipped a through ball to an onrushing Jakob Brunn Larsen. Larsen collected the ball in front of the arc and wasted no time in slotting home a right-footed shot to open the scoring.

After conceding such an unexpected goal, Tottenham wasted no time in chasing it down. In the 32nd minute, Pedro Foro exchanged one-on-one passes with Brennan Johnson on the right flank before dribbling into the box and finishing with a stunning right-footed shot to equalize the score at 1-1. The first half ended with the score tied at 1-1.

With the equalizer, Tottenham came back into the game. In the second half, they completely [토토](https://www.sportstoto.link) dominated their opponents, but were denied by a series of 'saves' from Mourinho and the game remained in the balance until the final whistle.

Tottenham continued to press forward. Vanderbeek was the solution. In the 37th minute of the second half, Vanderven, who was high up in the area, received a pass from Maddison and advanced to the front of the arc, where he slotted a left-footed shot into the corner of the goal. Spurs then brought on Giovanni Lo Celso and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to consolidate and the game ended 1-2 in favor of Spurs.

After the game, a video went viral on social media, creating a huge buzz. It was a captive's response to the 'Meho match'. In the video, posted by an account under the handle 'super_ollyt', Foro hesitated before answering a fan's question about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, saying 'SONNY'.
