Spurs took the lead on ten minutes when Mohammed Kudus crossed from the right and the ball bounced once before Richarlison steered it into the bottom left corner of Dubravka’s goal. Frank’s side threatened little for the rest of the half and Burnley began to grow into the game but Kudus set up Richarlison again on the hour to superbly put Spurs in control and Brennan Johnson added a third six minutes later.

Tottenham Hotspur began the Thomas Frank era in the Premier League with a convincing 3-0 home victory over promoted side Burnley on Saturday thanks to a majestic double from striker Richarlison which included an acrobatic volley.
