The game was characterized by fine margins and impressive performances from Foster and Watkins.
FT: Tottenham 1-0 Burnley Plenty to like about that performance from a Burnley perspective. Defended well & carried a threat. Porro's winner is a great strike but Burnley gave the ball away in their own third & were punished Now all eyes on Luton in the PL. #twitterclarets
Muric up for a corner. Tottenham clear but Burnley recover possession so no open goal for the home side to shoot at. #twitterclarets
Tottenham players queuing up to score their second. Burnley look like they're run out or steam since the goal. Although as I type a half chance for Brownhill who slices a shot from the edge of the area. #twitterclarets
Good save from Muric as Burnley switch off and Tottenham take a corner quickly. Lo Celso with the shot from the edge of the area but the offside flag went up. #twitterclarets
Second half underway. Sub for Burnley as JBL comes on for Foster. #twitterclarets
Now Muric forced into a diving save from Johson. Burnley playing a high line and Tottenham wasting no time in exploiting it. Have to manage that better. #twitterclarets
Really good move from Spurs cuts Burnley open but he drags his shot wide of the far post. #twitterclarets
Belief inside Aston Villa is unwavering, typified by another crucial late goal in the 3-2 win against Burnley. #AVFC extended their unbeaten home run to 17 games, but their performance pointed to signs of mental and physical fatigue. @J_Tanswell ⬇️

FT: #AVFC 3-2 Burnley Joint top of the Premier League to end 2024. Villa extend their unbeaten run at home to 17 games and this, probably, their most messy. Players looked leggy, disorganised and conceded soft goals, but the comeback capabilities at Villa Park were shown again. https://t.co/a7oJM5EZwq
FT: Aston Villa 3-2 Burnley Well... where do you start with that... I think I know what Kompany's thoughts will be. Really, really pleasing performance from Burnley despite all that went against them. Plenty of fight and added quality. Foster sensational. #twitterclarets
LYLE FOSTER EQUALIZES FOR 10-MAN BURNLEY AT VILLA PARK. 💥 His first goal since taking a leave of absence to address mental health—what a moment for both Foster & Clarets. 💜 https://t.co/aygxVikpwB
Wow. 2-2. Villa made to pay. Ten-men Burnley equalise. Lyle Foster. #AVFC
GOAL FOR BURNLEY!!!!! FOSTER!!!!!!! 2-2!!!!!!!!! #twitterclarets
All Villa now. They keep getting to the byline and firing across cutbacks. Burnley trying to throw their bodies in the way to keep it at 2-1 and they're being helped by some poor finishing by Villa's attackers. #twitterclarets
Jacob Ramsey skies a shot over from a couple of yards. Villa causing a lot of problems down Burnley's left flank. #twitterclarets
Burnley now 4-4-1 with Ramsey alongside Brownhill in central midfield. Foster up top on his own. #twitterclarets
Burnley sub: Ramsey on. Amdouni off. #twitterclarets
🔵🟣 HT: Villa 2-1 Burnley 🔵🟣 ✅ Watkins, Bailey, Diaby dangerous ❌ Lenglet a huge worry in this high line 🟢 Follow @MailSport https://t.co/9mMyahHri2 https://t.co/N9QxKHoZYG
HT: #AVFC 2-1 Burnley Flat half for Villa who have struggled with Burnley's pace up front and, going the other way, sustaining attacks and control. But Ollie Watkins has made two excellent runs in both channels and has proven the difference in creating the two goals.
HT: Aston Villa 2-1 Burnley Those pesky fine margins. Foster offside by a toe... Watkins onside by a toe. That's the difference between Burnley being in front and behind. They've battled well and look dangerous in transition. Second goal too easy #twitterclarets
Another excellent piece of work from Foster to win Burnley a corner. Causing so many problems for Lenglet. #twitterclarets
Goal for Villa. 2-1. Diaby #twitterclarets
Burnley have the ball in the back of the net but up goes the offside flag. Great counter attack as Amdouni released Foster who finished calmly. VAR check... looks off by a toe.... #twitterclarets
GOAL FOR BURNLEY!!!!! 1-1!!!!! AMDOUNI!!!!!! #twitterclarets
Goal for Villa. 1-0. Bailey #twitterclarets
Huge chance for Burnley. Foster muscles Lenglet off the ball and carries it into the box. Three to pick out but his pass can't find any of them. Looked to find Amdouni who was free but too far in front of him. Then Brownhill shot wide. #twitterclarets
Burnley break from a Villa FK. Foster feeds Odobert who skips past McGinn and wins a corner. #twitterclarets
Twice in quick succession, Burnley had possession midway inside Villa's half in good positions but on both occasions took too long/made a poor decision and lost the ball. #twitterclarets
