Burnley defender Charlie Taylor: Late Tottenham goal hard to take

Burnley defender Charlie Taylor admits defeat at Tottenham was hard to take.

Christian Eriksen fired Spurs' injury-time winner on Saturday.

"We worked on it in training this week and it went perfectly well," said Taylor, who lined up to the left of a three-man central defence.

“We were set for what would have been a great point at a very tough away fixture.

“It's absolutely gutting. In terms of losing a game, it's the worst way you can possibly do it.

“After holding on for so long and then to concede in injury time is horrible.

“But we are looking more like a typical Burnley team over recent weeks.

“We got a good result and a clean sheet last week and again we got so close against a top side, so there were definitely positives from our point of view."
