Tottenham 3-0 Burnley: Richarlison’s stunner helps Frank to winning start

By

Richarlison scored a spectacular overhead kick to help Thomas Frank win his first Premier League game in charge of Tottenham 3-0 against Burnley.

Richarlison and Mohammed Kudus put on a show in Spurs’ opener as the pair combined for the first two goals early in each half.

The hosts came close to an opener within the first 30 seconds as Lucas Bergvall’s tight-angled effort on the right was kept out by Martin Dubravka at his near post before Richarlison netted the first Premier League goal of the Frank era 10 minutes in with a fine volley.

Burnley grew into the game, but without troubling Guglielmo Vicario, before Richarlison sent the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium crowd into raptures with his brilliant second on the hour.

Brennan Johnson made sure of the three points six minutes later with a composed finish as newly promoted Burnley struggled to find a way through.

Spurs are one of three teams on three points at the top of the table in the early standings, with the Clarets sitting at the opposite end.
