Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope has finally achieved a clean sheet against Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham were beaten 1-0 by Pope’s Burnley, thanks to a 71st-minute header from Ben Mee, ESPN reported.

The Clarets hung on for a much-needed win in their relegation battle, and the win helped Pope avoid an unwanted statistic.

The England international shot-stopper managed the feat in his seventh game against the London side but was never really tested by Tottenham Hotspur.

Burnley had 15 shots, with only four on target. Tottenham on the other hand had 12 shots but only had two on target, as Nick Pope was a spectator for most of the game.
