Match Report

Both teams needed a win for their respective battles at either end of the table, and Jacob Bruun Larsen's goal (25) gave the Clarets hope of three points.

But in an even first half, a fine solo effort from Pedro Porro (32) gave Tottenham an equaliser soon after.

Spurs dominated the second half, but it took an 82nd-minute strike from Van de Ven to secure their victory.

It sees Tottenham close the gap to four points on Aston Villa - who face Liverpool on Monday Night Football - with a game in hand. But Unai Emery's side will secure fourth spot if they win that game, meaning Spurs will miss out on Champions League football for next season.

Burnley now know they will be playing back in the Championship next term, with the defeat seeing them relegated with a game to play.

What's next?

The Premier League's final day will take place on Sunday May 19 with all games kicking off at 4pm. Tottenham head to Sheffield United, while Burnley host Nottingham Forest.

Before that, Spurs take on Man City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday May 14, live on Sky Sports; kick-off 8pm.
