Tottenham Hotspur edged out Burnley 1-0 in a closely contested FA Cup match, thanks to a stunning 25-yard goal by Pedro Porro in the 78th minute. Despite missing key players like Heung-Min Son, Spurs managed to avoid a replay and move into the next round.
Burnley, under Vincent Kompany, put up a solid performance, with Anass Zaroury and Zeki Amdouni creating chances but failing to convert.
Tottenham’s lack of cutting edge in the final third was evident throughout the match, as noted by manager Ange Postecoglou, but Porro’s goal proved decisive. Burnley’s best opportunity came from Amdouni, who volleyed wide in the closing moments.
Despite the defeat, Kompany praised his team’s ability to compete at this level, acknowledging the quality of Porro’s strike.
