Burnley
Relegated From Premier League.
Vincent Kompany’s side needed a victory in north London
to have any chance of taking their survival bid to the last day of the season.
Jacob Bruun Larsen’s opener gave the second-bottom
Clarets a glimmer of hope, but Pedro Porroequalised and Micky van de Ven bagged
Tottenham’s winner.
Five points adrift of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest
with one game left, Burnley join already-relegated Sheffield United in
returning to the Championship after last season’s promotion.
Burnley took an unexpected lead against Tottenham with
Jacob Bruun Larsen scoring in the 25th minute.
However, Pedro Porro equalized seven minutes later, and
Micky van de Ven scored a late winner for AngePostecoglou’s team.
Vincent Kompany, who led Burnley to the Championship
title last season, has struggled in the Premier League, winning just five
league matches and occupying a relegation zone spot for most of the campaign.
