Tottenham Hotspur were rescued from defeat deep into stoppage time as captain Cristian Romero scored a dramatic 90th-minute equaliser, earning a 2–2 Premier League draw at Burnley’s Turf Moor on Saturday.
Spurs had looked set for defeat after Lyle Foster’s second-half strike put Burnley ahead, but Romero’s late header ensured the visitors avoided a loss and secured a valuable point in a tense encounter.
According to ABC Sports, Tottenham took the lead in the 38th minute through Micky van de Ven, who scored with a well-timed finish from close range to put Spurs in front.
Burnley responded strongly, and just before halftime Axel Tuanzebe nodded home to bring the hosts level at 1–1 going into the break.
