    Pedro Porro fired Tottenham into the FA Cup fourth round with a stunning goal that was enough to give his side a 1-0 win over Burnley.

    Prior to the goal itself, it had not been a memorable game, there were few clear-cut chances for either side, with both lacking sufficient quality in the final third.

    But Porro drove forward before unleashing a shot from outside the box straight into the top corner to seal the victory for Tottenham. It was a moment of individual skill that was enough for Spurs to book their place in the next round, and a memorable first goal of the season for the defender.

    Here is a look at how the players from both teams did in the player rankings:

    Pedro Porro, 9

    Caused problems on the right and scored a stunning goal to give Spurs the lead.

    Emerson Royal, 6

    Similar to Davies, Burnley did not have a significant threat to trouble the defender.

    Ben Davies, 6

    Did not have a huge amount to deal with in terms of the Burnley threat, but was equal to everything asked of him.

    Destiny Udogie, 6

    Made some important and promising moves forward while remaining well organised at the back.

    Oliver Skipp, 5

    Made a couple of clumsy tackles in midfield and struggled to impose himself on the game.

    Rodrigo Bentancur, 6

    Worked well with Kulusevski in the midfield to prevent Burnley being able to launch successful attacks.

    Dejan Kulusevski, 6

    Stayed busy in midfield with good intensity throughout the match.

    Giovani Lo Celso, 6

    Had a reasonable match before being substituted in the second half.

    Brennan Johnson, 7

    Had some good chances, including a well-timed volley, but was unable to find the back of the net.

    Richarlison, 5

    Put in the effort with running up and down the field trying to create space, but lacked an end product in the final third.

    Jamie Donley - 5

    Ryan Sessegnon - 6

    Dane Scarlet - 6

    Burnley

    Arijanet Muric, 7

    The Burnley goalkeeper was quick to come off his line and did his best to keep Spurs at bay and was not at fault for the goal.

    Vitinho, 6

    Made some good moves down the right and kept pace with most of the home side’s attacks.

    Dara O’Shea, 7

    Quick to get back and did his best until the goal to keep Spurs at bay, still a good defensive performance.

    Hannes Delcroix, 6

    The centre-back worked well with partner O’Shea to keep Tottenham at bay and both were organised at the back.

    Charlie Taylor, 7

    Had a good game before he was forced off in the second half with a shoulder injury.

    Anass Zaroury, 6

    Managed to get into promising positions when going forwards, but crosses just fell short of intended targets.

    Aaron Ramsey, 6

    Had a decent game but was not able to have a significant impact before being replaced by Redmond.

    Josh Cullen, 6

    He worked consistently hard in midfield against Skipp and Bentancur.

    Wilson Odobert, 7

    He was involved in a lot of Burnley’s attacking threat before going off just before the hour mark.

    Lyle Foster, 5

    The forward did not have a sufficient impact on the game in the first half, and then came off during the break.

    Zeki Amdouni, 7

    He was at the centre of everything Burnley did going forwards, and had a moment of equalise in added time, but missed the target.

    Subs:

    Bruun Larsen - 6

    Josh Brownhill - 6

    Mike Tresor - 6

    Ameen Al Dakhil - 6
