Barnes Storming
Burnley are back to their gritty best and this striker has struck against Man Utd and Arsenal quite recently. He's also become something of a late goal specialist.
Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off promises to be a real test of Tottenham’s unlikely title credentials with their hosts unbeaten in 7 matches since Boxing Day - their longest top flight run since 1966.
One of the biggest threats to the Londoners will be Ashley Barnes who has found the net in each of his last three outings. We’re backing him for ‘Last Goalscorer’ at 15/2 with Bet365 and here’s why.
The Burnley striker isn’t just on good form, he’s also established himself as something of a late goal specialist. Here’s a list of the minutes when his Premier League goals have come in 2018-19:
83rd v Bournemouth
88th v Bournemouth
63rd v Arsenal
74th v Huddersfield
51st v Man Utd
90th v Southampton
74th v Brighton
So all 7 of his goals have come in the second half with all but 1 coming in the final half hour. This could indicate great fitness, or a never-quit attitude. Either way it makes him an enticing bet option here at a tempting price.
