Pedro Porro Tottenham FA Cup victory Burnley

Pedro Porro's 25-yard strike helped Tottenham secure a 1-0 win over Burnley in the FA Cup fourth round.

Tottenham managed to secure a hard-fought 1-0 home win over Burnley in the FA Cup fourth round, thanks to Pedro Porro's impressive 25-yard goal in the 78th minute. Despite a less than stellar performance, Spurs were able to secure their fourth win in five matches. Burnley, led by Vincent Kompany, put up a solid display, but ultimately fell short. With the FA Cup behind them, Burnley will now focus on their efforts to remain in the Premier League.

Tottenham faced the challenge of missing their hat-trick hero Son Heung-min, who was away for the Asian Cup. Burnley started the match brightly, with early chances from Anass Zaroury and Wilson Odobert testing Tottenham's goalkeeper. However, as the match progressed, Tottenham's strong team started to find their rhythm. A touching tribute for Tottenham fan Harry Pitman, who was killed on New Year's Eve, united the stadium in a minute's applause.

Despite a goalless first half, Tottenham came out strong in the second half, with Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson testing Burnley's goalkeeper. However, Tottenham's attempts to score were met with frustration from the home fans, as they seemed to struggle to find the back of the net. It wasn't until the 78th minute that Pedro Porro's incredible goal broke the deadlock, securing the win for Tottenham.

The match saw moments of excitement, with Tottenham substitute Ryan Sessegnon coming close to scoring, and Burnley's goalkeeper almost setting up a late leveller from a corner. Ultimately, it was Pedro Porro's goal that sealed the victory for Tottenham, securing their spot in the FA Cup fourth round.
