Burnley midfielder Jack Cork: We let Spurs off the hook

Burnley midfielder Jack Cork was left frustrated after their 1-1 draw with Tottenham.

The Clarets surrendered a first-half lead to drop two points.

“We set about it the best way we could have," said Cork.

“We were by far the better team in the first half and they made a couple of changes, came at us quite quickly which we probably thought they were going to at the start of the second half. But towards the end of the game we got back in it and we had the better chances, and the better chances throughout the game.

“It's just disappointing because it feels like a bit of a chance missed on the back of a great run for us.

“Tottenham were Champions League finalists last year and have some great players and we really took it to them. They've had a tough couple of weeks with the amount of injuries they've had but they've still got to come here and play and we put up a good test for them."
