Premier League outfit Tottenham had to be satisfied with a 2-2 stalemate against Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday as the pressure on Spurs boss Thomas Frank increased further.

Micky Van de Ven and Christian Romero salvaged a point for Spurs, cancelling out goals from Axel Tuanzebe and Lyle Foster in a hard-fought draw.

Disgruntled Spurs fans vented their anger at their manager after last week’s damaging 2-1 defeat against West Ham, chanting, “You’re getting sacked in the morning."

The former Brentford boss breathed a sigh of relief after a 2-0 midweek win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

But Tottenham travelled to Turf Moor in desperate need of a win in the Premier League after just two victories in 13 league games.

The visitors dominated the first half and deservedly led when Micky van de Ven produced a powerful left-footed strike after Burnley failed to clear.

But they conceded moments before half-time when defender Axel Tuanzebe side-footed home a Kyle Walker cross, and worse was to follow for the visitors when Lyle Foster put Burnley ahead in the 76th minute.

In a nail-biting finale, Xavi Simons rattled the crossbar for Spurs before captain Cristian Romero headed home a leveller in the 90th minute. The draw leaves Spurs 13th in the table.
