Cristian Romero’s 90th-minute equaliser spared under-pressure Tottenham boss Thomas Frank an embarrassing defeat at second-bottom Burnley as his header snatched a 2-2 draw.
But the full-time whistle at Turf Moor was greeted with boos from the away end as the pressure remained on Frank, with Spurs having won just two of their last 14 league games.
Thirteenth-placed Tottenham now sit eight points above the drop zone, with a daunting February ahead as they face Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle and Arsenal in the Premier League.
Lyle Foster’s 74th-minute goal had looked to complete the Burnley turnaround after Axel Tuanzebe had cancelled out Micky van de Ven’s opener on the stroke of half-time.
But Romero’s last-gasp goal extended Burnley’s winless league run to 14 games, as Scott Parker’s side moved seven points from safety.
Spurs fans chant ‘We want Frank out’
Sky Sports News’ Peter Stevenson at Turf Moor:
“Boos from the away fans at the final whistle, after Spurs rescued a late point. They started this game brightly but struggled to match Burnley’s intensity in the second half. They were facing yet another defeat until Romero’s dramatic late equaliser.
“Frank walked off to chants from both sets of fans as Spurs supporters sang ‘We want Frank out’, and then he reached the home fans who taunted ‘You’re getting sacked in the morning’.
“A huge disappointment for Burnley, who looked on course for their first win since October.
“They’re now in danger of being marooned at the foot of the table with Wolves.”
