THE key stats and moments from the game against Spurs.
BURNLEY
MARLON BERESFORD Beaten by an early header but came off best in his one on ones with Robbie Keane...7
DEAN WEST Spent the first half being roasted by Matthew Etherington but came into the game once he went off...7
MARK McGREGOR Had to be removed early on to shake up the Clarets after he had a tough time with Spurs sweeping forward...6
ARTHUR GNOHERE Much better from the Frenchman although he was caught out by Keane on one occasion...7
GRAHAM BRANCH Thank heavens his late error was not punished because he had enjoyed one of his best Burnley nights...8
PAUL WELLER Tremendous. His best display for a long time as he broke up play and was an important creative force...9
TONY GRANT Barely had a kick in the opening stages but then played his part as Burnley got on top...7
STEVE DAVIS Switched to the back to allow Little on but what a priceless goal he scored...8
LEE BRISCOE Some crunching tackles and one sweeping pass to Little on the right was out of the top drawer...8
ROBBIE BLAKE Deserved his goal and was very unlucky not to have a second with his stunning left foot shot...8
GARETH TAYLOR Another fine display from the big striker, holding the ball up and running the clock down near the end...7
