Burnley relegated from Premier League – too often they shot themselves in the foot
Burnley’s spirited attempt to take their Premier League relegation battle to the final day of the season fell short at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
For seven first-half minutes, the visiting supporters were able to dream about a victory that might have set up a final-day relegation decider against Nottingham Forest, when Jacob Bruun Larsen fired his side ahead against Tottenham.
But a Pedro Porro equaliser and a late Micky van de Ven goal broke Burnley hearts and sent Vincent Kompany’s team back down to the Championship.
It was all too much for Lorenz Assignon, who was booked in time added on after appealing for a penalty. His own team-mate, Dara O’Shea, had angrily pulled him up off the ground to try to restart the game as emotions briefly threatened to boil over.
Although they had given themselves a chance of survival going into the penultimate game of the season, albeit a slim one, the damage had already been done for Burnley before Saturday.
Too often this season, Kompany’s team shot themselves in the foot and paid the price for silly mistakes. There were some suicidal moments against Spurs that they got away with.
Kompany and the Burnley bench had celebrated wildly after Larsen beat Guglielmo Vicario in the 25th minute following superb work from Sander Berge.
Berge carried the ball through the middle of the pitch, rode a challenge from Porro and played a pass for Larsen that caught out Tottenham’s stand-in left-back Oliver Skipp. Larsen did not show any nerves as he stroked the ball past Vicario and into the net.
But the Clarets were not able to dream for long, as goalkeeper Arijanet Muric allowed Porro’s shot past him at his near post seven minutes later. Porro had been allowed to run unchallenged into the penalty area, but his powerful drive should have been kept out by Muric, who later redeemed himself with some brilliant second-half saves.
There were a couple of near misses for Kompany’s team, as Larsen immediately threatened after Tottenham’s equaliser and Wilson Odobert had a shot deflected over the bar.
But, ultimately, Burnley had left themselves too much to do going into this game and must now prepare for their instant return to the Championship.
Without striker Richarlison, who suffered a calf injury at the end of Friday’s training session that appears to have ended his season, Tottenham initially struggled to create clear-cut opportunities that were not gifted to them by Burnley.
Just after equalising, Brennan Johnson was handed a great chance by Muric but shot into the side-netting and James Maddison was denied by the Burnley goalkeeper after dribbling his way past O’Shea and through on goal.
As the game opened up late on, however, Spurs started to create chance after chance. Johnson somehow turned the ball wide at the back post from Heung-Min Son’s cross that had looked certain to end in a goal.
Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou had his head in his hands when Muric saved from Pape Matar Sarr after the goal had opened up for the midfielder.
The home side finally found the 82nd-minute winner that sealed Burnley’s fate and secured Tottenham’s first win in five, having lost the previous four games, when defender Van de Ven stepped inside and finished superbly into the bottom corner.
Van de Ven, a summer signing from Wolfsburg, had been voted Tottenham’s player of the season ahead of kick-off and the well-taken goal was his third of the campaign.
Only a couple of brilliant saves from Muric stopped Tottenham extending their advantage in the closing minutes, as Burnley were unable to set up what would have been a grandstand ending had they equalised.
Tottenham’s victory meant they can still snatch fourth place and Champions League qualification off Aston Villa with two games to play against title challengers Manchester City and relegated Sheffield United.
Postecoglou’s team are not yet guaranteed fifth place and Europa League qualification, but they needed to lift morale after four successive defeats to Newcastle United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
“We probably should have won more comfortably, but it was always going to be a tricky one for us,” said Postecoglou. “Losing four games is always going to affect the players and Burnley had nothing to lose. Micky’s had an outstanding year, so I couldn’t be happier for him.
“We’ve still got six points to play for, that’s the key thing for us. We’ve got a big game against City on Tuesday night and that will be a big test for us. Let’s play our football and see where we end up.”
Tottenham vs Burnley: As it happened
05:06 PM BST
Full time verdict at St James Park
Newcastle United have left themselves work to do in the race for European football next season after they were held to a draw by Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Magpies threw everything at their opponents in the second half but despite becoming the first Newcastle team to score in every home game for 65 years, they could not find a winner.
It means Eddie Howe’s side are three points clear of Manchester United (who they play on Wednesday night) and Chelsea but have played a game more.
Brighton had taken the lead inside the opening 20 minutes after a succession of dangerous corners bore fruit when a kind ricochet at the near post fell kindly for Joel Veltman to dash in front of Elliot Anderson at the far one.
That created the ideal situation for the visitors to frustrate their hosts . Robert De Zerbi’s men used every trick in the book to deprive Newcastle of momentum in the game, wasting time, slowing the pace of the action down to a walking pace.
They perhaps could have scored a second goal too, Jullio Enscio deciding to try and audacious, long range header when he had the time and space to take the ball down and shoot at an exposed goalkeeper.
Given how much time they had so drained from the clock in the first half, there was a sense of justice from a Newcastle perspective when they equalised in the final seconds of the four - it probably should have been more - added time.
Dan Burn had already spurned one great chance to pull level when his close range header was saved by Bart Verbruggen but the Magpies were starting to cause more stress on the defence.
Most of that came down the right through Anthony Gordon and having failed to pass, trying to score himself, moments earlier this time he got his head up, combined with Anderson, who in turn picked out the unmarked Sean Longstaff to side foot home.
That set things up perfectly for the second half and both teams had their moments but Harvey Barnes missed two good chances after coming on a substitute and Gordon had a goal ruled out for offside as Miguel Almiron had strayed millimetres beyond the final defender before squaring to him to tap home.
05:05 PM BST
Full-time verdict at Goodison Park
The season is ending too soon for Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Not so long ago he was the natural England deputy for Harry Kane. He has been a shadow of that striker for most of this campaign. Not now.
It is perhaps in keeping with his luckless run that he looks as fit, quick and confident as he has for years just in time for the summer holidays, Sheffield United’s defenders mismatched trying to prevent the 27-year-old underlining his re-acquaintance with his former self.
The signs were positive early when Calvert-Lewin was denied one of the assists of the season, leaping to control a high ball while at full pace down Everton’s right before teeing up Abdoulaye Doucoure for a tap-in.
Keeper Wes Foderingham made the save to prevent countless replays of the striker’s exhibition of skill. The reprieve was brief as the same combination gave Everton their 31st minute winner, Calvert-Lewin’s pace and poise taking him beyond the United defence before clipping for his attacking partner to head into an empty net.
When United skipper Jack Robinson took matters into his own hands by forcibly shoving Calvert-Lewin to the floor just before half time - the booking could easily have been a red- it was emblematic of the visitors’ helplessness. Physically and morally, Calvert-Lewin was the victor, subbed to a standing ovation after 79 minutes.
His manager, Sean Dyche, was asked this week if Calvert-Lewin could be a surprise late pick for Gareth Southgate’s Euro squad.
“I would be surprised,” he said.
Dyche can be forgiven for thinking his needs would be better served by another period of rest before guaranteeing Everton a top class target man going into next season.
Calvert-Lewin featured in less than 50 percent of Everton’s league games over the two seasons prior to this one. That has drastically improved, Calvert-Lewin having missed just five Premier League games in this campaign. His league goal return of just seven is not enough, but most of them have come since the first week of April.
Not coincidentally, his excellence has mirrored the team’s. This victory means Everton have equaled a Premier League club record of five consecutive home wins without conceding, finding form when their need was greatest.

Half time verdict from St James Park
Having wasted time with every trick in the book in the first half you could say there was some justice in Brighton conceding in the final seconds of added time.
Anthony Gordon has been starting to cause problems down the right and having tried to score himself at the end of the darting run moments earlier, this time, he combines with Elliot Anderson, who in turn picks out the unmarked Sean Longstaff who guides a first time finish home.
Brighton could have had a second but were denied by some excellent defending from Lewis Hall and were punished right at the end of the half.
This game is set up nicely for the second half. Newcastle have got away with some poor play in the first half, giving the ball away cheaply.

Live from St James Park
Newcastle are still not firing on all cylinders but they should have equalised when Dan Burn met a corner at the far post but couldn’t get his header beyond Bart Verbruggen, who made a good save.
Brighton are doing a really good job of preventing the Magpies building any sort of momentum, slowing play down constantly and they are good enough to frustrate them by keeping the ball too.
If this carries on, expect Newcastle to make some early changes in the second half because they cannot let this drift much longer, especially as Julio Enciso has just wasted a wonderful chance at the end of a counter attack.
03:45 PM BST
42 mins: Newcastle 0 Brighton 1
Brighton should be 2-0 up.
Enciso’s cross leads to a headed effort by a teammate that is glanced over the bar.
Shortly afterwards, Enciso himself has a strike that goes close, flying past the post.

Everton were never going to go down while Calvert-Lewin was fit and after an indifferent spell he is looking back to his best.

Live update from St James’ Park
If you wanted a reason to explain why Newcastle are seriously mulling over whether to sell England international Callum Wilson you only have to look at the fact the striker misses out against Brighton with another injury.
Wilson only returned to the side against Burnley last weekend after a two month absence but has complained of muscle tightness in the week and does not even make the bench this afternoon.
There are not many better strikers in the Premier League than the 32-year-old when he is fit, but the fact he has started just 78 games, across all competitions during his four years at the club tells its own story. And the older he gets, the more he seems to breakdown with little niggles.
Manager Eddie Howe would like to keep him but with just one year left on his contract there is a growing belief he will be sold in the summer. It will be expensive to replace him, but Wilson is one of the club’s top earners and he simply does not play enough games.

Premier League permutations aplenty this afternoon
Good afternoon and welcome to Telegraph Sport’s live clockwatch of the six matches taking place across the Premier League at 3pm this afternoon.
“Who gives a flip?” were the words of Jürgen Klopp right before his penultimate pre-match press conference as Liverpool manager on Friday afternoon. Well, replace ‘flip’ with something cruder and you get the gist.
Anyway, Klopp may have already checked out of this season, but there is still a great deal on the line for several teams who kick-off in just over an hour.
For instance, Burnley and Luton Town could both have their relegations confirmed if results go against them in their respective matches.
Burnley travel to north London to take on Tottenham Hotspur, knowing anything less than a win will confirm their relegation and an immediate return to the Championship, despite their spirited efforts in recent weeks to mount a marvellous escape from the drop zone.
Tottenham enter this match on the back of four straight league losses for the first time in 20 years, with what felt like a very promising season now at risk of ending with a whimper. They know Champions League qualification is out of their hands, as they sit seven points behind Aston Villa in fifth with a game in hand. Still, if Spurs contrive to lose yet again today, their hopes of Champions League football next season will be over.
Luton may also have their fate decided in the capital city, as they travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham, in what will be David Moyes’ final game in the home dugout after the club announced the Scot will be succeeded by Julen Lopetegui next season. Luton have kept their survival hopes alive much longer than many would have anticipated at the start of their inaugural Premier League campaign.
However, if they want to extend their stay in the top flight, they must do something they have managed only once since the start of February: Win a Premier League match. Failure to do so will mean that should Nottingham Forest proceed to better their result when they play against Chelsea later this afternoon, Luton’s relegation will be sealed today.
Elsewhere, in the Premier League, Newcastle, in sixth will hope to take a big step towards securing Europa League qualification in their match at home against Brighton. Meanwhile, Everton encounter already relegated Sheffield United at Goodison Park, Bournemouth welcome Brentford to the Vitality Stadium and Wolves will do battle at Molineux against a resurgent Crystal Palace, who enter this match on the back of thrashing Manchester United 4-0 at home back on Monday.
This promises to be a fateful day of Premier League action, and team news from all six matches will follow shortly.
