For 76 minutes at Turf Moor, Burnley did a fine job of keeping Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son quiet.
Kane, unplayable when dropping into midfield for much of this season, was closely marked every time he received the ball, meaning Son was largely starved of service as a result. It seemed Sean Dyche had figured out how to stifle Spurs.
But even on a night when the pair were rarely able to combine in open play, they still found a way to goal in the end.
After Kane flicked Erik Lamela's corner into the six-yard box with just under a quarter of an hour to go, there was Son, ready to take advantage and direct his header into the roof of the net.
The goal sealed a valuable victory for Spurs and further highlighted the seemingly telepathic understanding between Kane and Son. The latter's grin when he realised it was the former who had set him up underlined the fine relationship between them.
Kane and Son have now combined for nine goals in just six Premier League games this season.
Kane has set up eight of Son's seven goals. In total, he has now provided as many assists (eight) as he managed in the previous three seasons combined. Son, meanwhile, only needs three more goals to match his tally for the whole of the last campaign.
