Tottenham vs Burnley: Player ratings after Pedro Porro scores stunner in the FA Cup third round

AP

Pedro Porro fired Tottenham into the FA Cup fourth round with a stunning goal that was enough to give his side a 1-0 win over Burnley.

Prior to the goal itself, it had not been a memorable game, there were few clear-cut chances for either side, with both lacking sufficient quality in the final third.

But Porro drove forward before unleashing a shot from outside the box straight into the top corner to seal the victory for Tottenham. It was a moment of individual skill that was enough for Spurs to book their place in the next round, and a memorable first goal of the season for the defender.

Here is a look at how the players from both teams did in the player rankings:

Kept a clean sheet but Burnley only had limited chances throughout the match.

Pedro Porro, 9

Caused problems on the right and scored a stunning goal to give Spurs the lead.

Emerson Royal, 6

Similar to Davies, Burnley did not have a significant threat to trouble the defender.

Ben Davies, 6

Did not have a huge amount to deal with in terms of the Burnley threat, but was equal to everything asked of him.

Destiny Udogie, 6

Made some important and promising moves forward while remaining well organised at the back.

Oliver Skipp, 5

Made a couple of clumsy tackles in midfield and struggled to impose himself on the game.

Rodrigo Bentancur, 6

Worked well with Kulusevski in the midfield to prevent Burnley being able to launch successful attacks.

Dejan Kulusevski, 6

Stayed busy in midfield with good intensity throughout the match.

Giovani Lo Celso, 6

Had a reasonable match before being substituted in the second half.

Brennan Johnson, 7

Had some good chances, including a well-timed volley, but was unable to find the back of the net.

Richarlison, 5

Bryan Gil - 5

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - 6

Jamie Donley - 5

Ryan Sessegnon - 6

Dane Scarlet - 6

Burnley

Arijanet Muric, 7

The Burnley goalkeeper was quick to come off his line and did his best to keep Spurs at bay and was not at fault for the goal.

Vitinho, 6

Made some good moves down the right and kept pace with most of the home side’s attacks.

Dara O’Shea, 7

Quick to get back and did his best until the goal to keep Spurs at bay, still a good defensive performance.

Hannes Delcroix, 6

The centre-back worked well with partner O’Shea to keep Tottenham at bay and both were organised at the back.

Charlie Taylor, 7

Had a good game before he was forced off in the second half with a shoulder injury.

Anass Zaroury, 6

Managed to get into promising positions when going forwards, but crosses just fell short of intended targets.

Aaron Ramsey, 6

Had a decent game but was not able to have a significant impact before being replaced by Redmond.

Josh Cullen, 6

He worked consistently hard in midfield against Skipp and Bentancur.

Wilson Odobert, 7

He was involved in a lot of Burnley’s attacking threat before going off just before the hour mark.

Lyle Foster, 5

The forward did not have a sufficient impact on the game in the first half, and then came off during the break.

Subs:

Bruun Larsen - 6

Josh Brownhill - 6

Ameen Al Dakhil - 6

Nathan Redmond - 6
