End of 2nd Half
FULL TIME
Spurs grab all the goals and all the points but Bale will grab all the headlines because finally, FINALLY, he played the way we expect him too.
That's how you silence the doubters.
Burnley are still five clear of the drop, while Spurs leapfrog rivals Arsenal into eighth with their biggest home win in the Premier League this season.
90+4'
Ouch, Hojbjerg is down right at the end and it looks like he's twisted his ankle. GET SOME ICE ON IT!
90+3'
MISS!
Spurs counter and Son fizzes the ball across goal for Kane who completely shanks it wide. I'd have put my mortgage on him scoring that. Need a mortgage first actually.
90+2'
Burnley win another corner and again it's pretty dangerous.
Tarkowski once again makes a nuinsance of himself and forces Alderweireld to head over for another corner.
The second corner is claimed by Lloris.
90'
Tarkowski wins the header but Spurs now break through Lamela.
Oooooh but he takes a heavy touch and fluffs it through to Pope. One minute of normal time left.
88'
Youngster Lewis Richardson is on for Jay Rodriguez. They're 4-0 down but a day he won't forget running out into a stadium like this.
And, he immediately wins his team a corner!

Rodriguez whacks the bar but Kevin Friend had already blown for a free-kick.
Still, looked good.
86'
Burnley's gameplan was really in tatters after 70 seconds with that early goal.
They set out to frustrate and keep clean sheets but Bale put pains to that and set the tone for Tottenham for the rest of the match.
85'
Mourinho smiled on the touchline. He actually smiled.
84'
Kane and Son almost link up again as the former plays a perfect pass for the latter. But Son's whipped effort flies high and wide.
SON PLUS BALE = GOALS
83'
Lowton makes a great interception as Son tries to release Kane. Playing for pride now!
81'
And Doherty is on for Spurs at the expense of Aurier.

Spurs just pinging the ball around now and seeing this one out. Burnley not doing all that much to stop them either.
Kane, however, clearly wants another goal. And he's my fantasy football captain so let's make it happen.
78'
Spurs want the clean sheet, make no mistake. They've had a torrid time at the back in 2021 and need that boost.
They've just under 15 minutes left to keep Burnley out and just under 15 minutes left to grab a fifth.
74'
ANOTHER SAVE!
Alli releases Son down the left and the South Korean cuts inside before rifling at goal.
BUT, Pope dives brilliantly to his left to make the save.
73'
Burnley make a change as Vydra makes way for the returning Wood.

SAVE!
Kane catches the ball so sweetly and there's so much swerve as it flies towards Pope who does brilliantly to tip over.
70'
Bale is off after by far his best day in a Spurs shirt this season.
Lamela is on.
