Harry Kane: Tottenham in a tough position after Burnley and the Premier League title

Harry Kane agrees that Tottenham's Premier League title remains in a "difficult position" after Saturday's 2-1 loss to Burnley.

Liverpool placing second in Manchester United on Sunday and Manchester City not participating in the Premier League this weekend, the Spurs embarked on the match knowing that there was a realistic chance of getting closer to two points from first two.

But at Turf Moor, the Spurs are not blocked, while Ashley Barnes scores the winning goal after Kane has canceled Chris Wood's opener.

A win for Liverpool at Old Trafford will leave the Spurs at eight points of the standings and end their title hopes after a recent comeback, a situation that Kane has not lost.

"It's very disappointing," Kane told the Spurs official website. "It was one of those games, a tough battle, a dry field, we know how Burnley plays, especially at home and it was physical.

"We did well to go back to 1-1, but we could not find the next level to continue and win, but unfortunately we conceded again.

"It's a game we should win, we had free time, so we were cool and we expected to come here and level up and give a mbadive boost for the rest of the season.

"Now it puts us back and in a difficult position – it's a big week ahead and we have to move forward as best we can.

"It's a big time for us and we know we're more than capable of winning those games." Burnley was disappointing, but we have to move on and it's a big game against Chelsea. "

Tottenham will face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday before hosting Arsenal the following weekend.
