Tottenham Hotspur has booked a resounding victory in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. At home, José Mourinho’s team was 4-0 too strong for Burnley, which also took the fastest goal in club history. Gareth Bale took only 68 seconds to open the score and also recorded the fourth London hit. Harry Kane and Lucas Moura also put their names on the scoreboard. Heung-Min Son provided two assists to Bale, making him the third player to succeed in a single Premier League match, after Rafael van der Vaart (in November 2010 against Blackburn Rovers) and Aaron Lennon (in October 2011 against Queens Park Rangers) .
The teams were cold on the field when Son was given all the space on the left side of the field to deliver a good cross to Bale. The Welshman got rid of his direct opponents thanks to an excellent running action, allowing him to easily tap in: 1-0. In the sixth minute of play, Kane had a good opportunity to double the margin, but his shot from the edge of the box flew just wide of the left post.
After fifteen minutes of play, the striker had luck on his side, when he got the 2-0 on the scoreboard after all. After a nice depth ball from Bale, Kane had a good assumption in the house, after which he then cut in and hit in the short corner. That was not the end of the relentless attacking spirit of Tottenham, which after more than half an hour of play, already closed the game for good. Lucas Moura got the ball in the box after James Tarkowski failed to clear it, making it a breeze for the Brazilian to shoot in the 3-0.
In the second company, the home team decided to loosen the reins somewhat, although that did not mean that Burnley was better in the game. On the contrary, because ten minutes after the break Tottenham found the fourth goal of the afternoon. Son passed a ball in the barrel to Bale, who was released completely and the ball curled beautifully into the far corner: 4-0. It was the seventh time in his last four appearances in all competitions that the Real Madrid mercenary has been involved in a hit: four goals and three assists. Climbing thanks to the win the Spurs, who have 39 points, provisionally to eighth place in the ranking; Burnley is stuck in fifteenth position with 28 points.
