Comments:

League position: 8th This was Tottenham Hotspur's biggest home win in the Premier League since the visit of Burnley on 7 December 2019 (5-0). Spurs had lost five of their preceding six games in the Premier League (won one). Gareth Bale made his first start in a home game in the Premier League since the visit of Sunderland to White Hart Lane on 19 May 2013 when he scored the only goal of the game in the 90th minute.

Comments:

League position: 15th This was Burnley's heaviest defeat since their 5-0 loss at Manchester City in the Premier League on 28 November 2020. Gareth Bale's opening goal was timed at 68 seconds; it became the quickest-ever goal that had been scored against the Clarets in the Premier League. They had now won one of their last eight games in all competitions (lost four).
