Burnley 1-1 Tottenham: Alli's 50th EPL goal helps dull Spurs stop losing streak

Dele Alli's second-half penalty restored parity after Chris Wood's opener, but Tottenham had to settle for a draw at Burnley.

Tottenham were held to a 1-1 draw at Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday to make it five games without a win in all competitions for Jose Mourinho's men.

Spurs headed to Turf Moor after four straight defeats, the most recent being a penalty shoot-out loss to Norwich City in the FA Cup that was followed by Eric Dier confronting a supporter in the stands, and slipped to their worst run since November 2016.

Chris Wood put Burnley ahead in the 13th minute, though Mourinho may wonder why the goal stood when the ball clearly struck Dwight McNeil on the arm in the build-up.
