Vicario's brilliant celebration, Son leapfrogs Romero - 5 things spotted in Burnley vs Tottenham

Here are five things we spotted in Tottenham's hugely impressive 5-2 Premier League win against Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon

Dier situation

That meant previous first-team squad regulars Eric Dier and Tanguy Ndombele were overlooked once again. With Phillips coming in as an alternative centre-back option, it very much signals that Dier is not in Postecoglou's thinking for the season.

Getting in down the left flank after getting the better of Ameen Al Dakhil, the Israel international burst into the area but opted to shoot at goal rather than squaring to his teammate.

Son was not pleased at all by his decision making and could be seen gesturing with his hands to the summer signing. Thankfully Solomon picked the right option the next time Tottenham attacked as they levelled things up in Lancashire.

The pair then combined again just past the hour mark as Solomon went on a driving run towards the area before squaring the ball for Son to slot him. The new Tottenham captain will be hoping his teammate can lay on a few more assists between now and the end of the campaign.
