Tottenham Hotspur made it back-to-back wins in the Premier League on Saturday with a narrow 2-1 victory at home to Burnley.

The hosts took the lead on 21 minutes when Harry Kane converted from close range, but the away side made it 1-1 soon after thanks to Ashley Barnes's spectacular strike from the edge of the box.

However, Spurs made sure of the points before the break as Erik Lamela scored his first Premier League goal with a superb 25-yard drive.

Here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at the individual performances of those involved at White Hart Lane.

TOTTENHAM

Goal

Hugo Lloris: Another impressive display from the Frenchman, who frustrated Burnley with defiant performance between the sticks. Could do little about the away side's equaliser. (8/10)

Defence

Kyle Walker: Still looks a little off the pace following a long layoff, but the full-back did the simple things well. (7/10)

Federico Fazio: Struggled when he was questioned by the Burnley attack, occasionally putting his own side under pressure with some questionable decisions. (5/10)

Jan Vertonghen: Looked more assured at the back than Fazio on a day when Spurs needed a bit of stability against the likes of Ings and Barnes. (7/10)

Ben Davies: Got himself booked during the opening few minutes before recovering well to put in a solid display. (7/10)

Midfield

Nabil Bentaleb: A low-key afternoon for the midfielder, who found it difficult to make an impact from central areas. (5/10)

Ryan Mason: Bombed up and down the pitch with bags of energy before he was forced off with an injury just before half time. Could have also got his name on the scoresheet had he been more composed in front of goal. (7/10)

Erik Lamela: One of the Argentine's better outings in a Spurs shirt, always running at the Burnley defence and getting himself into some excellent advanced positions. Took his goal brilliantly, cutting onto his left foot and giving Heaton no chance from 25 yards. (7/10)

Christian Eriksen: Took a while to get going, but the Dane became an important part of the Spurs midfield as the game wore on thanks to his passing, vision and invention. (7/10)

Nacer Chadli: With Eriksen and Lamela providing Spurs with creativity from midfield, Chadli did not have a big impact on the game. A case of too many cooks, perhaps. (5/10)

Attack

Harry Kane: Worked his socks off as the lone striker for the hosts. His movement caused the Burnley defence numerous problems, while his unselfishness and maturity also impressed. (9/10)

Substitutes

Benjaming Stambouli: Played the whole of the second half after replacing Mason, but the Frenchman did little of note in midfield. (5/10)

Roberto Soldado: Had the unenviable task of taking Kane's place late on and swiftly disappeared in the final third. (6/10)

Danny Rose: Had about 30 seconds on the pitch before the final whistle was blown. Probably enjoyed about two or three touches during his brief cameo. (5/10)

BURNLEY

Goal

Tom Heaton: Burnley's shot-stopper had a tricky afternoon in goal, but he gave a good account of himself with some decent saves. (6/10)

Defence

Kieran Trippier: Worked hard for the Clarets and performed well when the visitors were put under pressure. (6/10)

Michael Keane: The youngster occasionally looked out of his depth, though he also blended well with his teammates at the back. (6/10)

Jason Shackell: Led by example in defence during an afternoon when the Burnley defence had to stay organised and disciplined against a persistent Spurs attack. (7/10)

Ben Mee: Was dogged at left-back, but he often found it tough against the slippery Lamela. (6/10)

Midfield

George Boyd: Tried hard to provide the Clarets with a spark in midfield, often linking play between defence and attack for the away side's counter-attacking moves. (7/10)

Dean Marney: Appeared eager to prove a point to his former club, though he ran out of steam before the end of the match. (6/10)

David Jones: An ineffective afternoon for the experienced midfielder, who hardly had a touch throughout. (5/10)

Scott Arfield: Similar to Boyd, Arfield linked play well for the visitors from midfield. Also put in a shift further back when Burnley were under pressure. (7/10)

Attack

Ashley Barnes: Struggled to get into the game for large periods, though he took his goal really well. Gave Lloris no chance with a fierce drive from the edge of the penalty area. (6/10)

Danny Ings: Used his pace well to spearhead Burnley's counter-attacking game. Would have finished with a couple of goals to his name had Lloris not been on form. (7/10)

Substitutes

Ross Wallace: Tried his luck with a free kick late on after entering the action for the final 11 minutes, but his effort failed to trouble the opposition. (5/10)

Michael Kightly: Found it difficult to influence the game for the final few minutes after replacing Arfield. (5/10)

Lukas Jutkiewicz: Was brought on to give Burnley a bit of bite up top during the dying stages, but the forward had nothing to feed on. (5/10)
