Spurs' back line was 'Comedy Central' – Williams

Match of the Day pundit Ashley Williams says it was "like Comedy Central at the back for Tottenham" against Burnley because of a misshaped defensive line.

"You want your defenders to defend and take pride in that," said former Wales defender Williams. "Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero got the goals, but there were more even problems at the back against a Burnley side who have now gone 14 games without a win.

"I just think in the second half it was so easy for Burnley. They had four big chances in the game and I'm sure Thomas Frank will be unhappy with how his team defended.

"There's a lack of discipline and focus when Spurs need calmness from their big players and leaders.

"It is like Comedy Central at the back for Tottenham. It's all higgledy-piggledy.

"Yes, they score goals, but I think the Tottenham fan base would prefer their defenders to defend properly and get a clean sheet.

"The shape looks like something from training and they just didn't know what was being asked of them. They didn't know their individual roles as a back three."
