[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Hee-eun Park] Tottenham extended their unbeaten streak to five games after drawing against Burnley in the 29th round of the 2019-20 Premier League season at Turf Moor in Burnley, England, in the early hours of the 8th (Korean time).


In the match, home team Burnley took the lead in the 13th minute of the first half when striker Chris Wood, who started the game, easily pushed in a ball that Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris missed.


However, the momentum shifted to Tottenham in the second half. In the 3rd minute of the second half, Tottenham's Giovani Lo Celso delivered a decisive pass to Lamela, who was fouled and earned a penalty kick, which Dele Alli took as the kicker to level the score at 1-1.


Afterwards, both teams engaged in intense exchanges. Burnley's McNeil made a sharp left-footed shot in the 21st minute of the first half, and Tottenham's Lamela, who controlled the ball in the center in the 29th minute of the first half, attempted a long-range shot but was stopped by the goalkeeper.


Neither team scored an additional goal, and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.



With this result, Tottenham escaped a two-game losing streak in the Premier League but continued their five-game unbeaten run. Some have expressed regret over the absence of Son Heung-min and Harry Kane.
