Alan: Crushed. I hoped Burnley would get a positive result, but it is the manner of the loss that is so disheartening. Defensive set-up beaten after 12 minutes and no way back. Another long season with nothing but disappointment to look forward to.
Frank used a 4-2-3-1 formation but, surprisingly, Lucas Bergvall was the most advanced midfielder. He pressed Burnley’s defence along with Richarlison and went on a couple of impressive driving runs with the ball. Throughout pre-season, Pape Matar Sarr tended to be the most advanced midfielder.
Tottenham made a winning start to their Premier League campaign with a one-sided win over newly-promoted Burnley. The north Londoners had Richarlison to thank with the Brazilian scoring two fine goals to get them up and running. Brennan Johnson added a third in the second half to make sure of the points and send Burnley home empty-handed.
