The match began with a promising start for Tottenham, but Burnley's goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka made a great save to deny Lucas Bergvall's early shot. However, it didn't take long for Tottenham to take the lead, as Mohammed Kudus found Richarlison with a simple pass, and he scored with a sweeping shot into the corner.

Tottenham's coach Scott Parker made some adjustments to his team's formation, switching to a five-defender system, but this seemed to confuse Burnley at times in the first half. Despite some decent chances for Burnley, Tottenham maintained their lead and continued to create opportunities in the second half.

Just before halftime, Pedro Porro was involved in a controversy when he was accused of fouling Jaidon Anthony from behind, but the referee Michael Oliver decided not to award a penalty. Tottenham continued their strong start in the second half, with Richarlison coming close to scoring again but being denied by Dúbravka's save.

The match became more intense and end-to-end, with both teams creating scoring opportunities. However, Tottenham eventually increased their lead when Richarlison volleyed home Kudus' delivery in the 60th minute. The match was sealed when Brennan Johnson broke clear and scored with a delicate chip over the onrushing Dúbravka.

Tottenham won their fifth consecutive opening-day home league game, while Burnley suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in the Premier League on the opening day.
