Hugo Lloris looked uncomfortable under a couple of early high balls, while the returning Kane rifled a left-footed drive wide in the 16th minute.As the game opened up, Tom Heaton easily denied Christian Eriksen before Barnes whistled a first-time strike narrowly over the crossbar. Kane's swerving 25-yard strike forced a superb save from Heaton after the break but it was the Clarets who took the lead in the 57th minute.McNeil's in-swinging corner from the right wing found Wood rising above the Tottenham defence to nod home his sixth goal in eight Premier League matches. Mauricio Pochettino sent on Fernando Llorente to join Kane in attack and the England captain levelled just eight minutes after Wood's opener.Rose caught Burnley's defence cold with a clever throw-in that sent Kane through to beat Heaton with a cute finish. But as Spurs pushed for a winner they were downed by Barnes, who showed a poacher's instinct to arrive at the back post and convert a cross-shot from substitute Johann Gudmundsson.</blockquote>
