Paul Wilson was at Turf Moor for the Guardian and sent this on-the-whistle report. Tune in later for post-match reaction and have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Peep! Peep! Peeeeeeep! Referee Michael Oliver brings the match to an end and presents the match ball to Harry Kane, whose seventh hat-trick of the year was the difference between the two sides. He’s equalled Alan Shearer’s record of 36 Premier League goals in a single calendar year, set 22 years ago. Burnley took a hiding tonight and can probably consider themselves lucky to have only lost 3-0. It could have been a lot worse. Tottenham go fifth in the table. Burnley stay in seventh, two points behind.

90+3 min: Jan Vertonghen tries to tee up Harry Kane for his fourth, but the striker falls over. He is useless.

90+2 min: Burnley keep on keeping on, but it’s just not their night.

89 min: Spurs substitution I forgot to mention in all the excitement 10 minutes ago: Mousa Dembele on for Heung-min Son.

88 min: Steven Duffour is booked for some misdeameanour or other I didn’t see.

86 min: Burnley substitution: Nakhi Wells on for Scott Arfield. Tottenham substitution: Fernando Llorente on for Dele Alli.

84 min: So, back to that Kane goal, his third: after robbing Steven Defour of possession with a jarring tackle, he played the ball to Eriksen and continued his run towards goal. Eriksen played it to Alli, who spotted Kane’s run and picked out the striker. He promptly fired the ball across the bows of Pope, making no mistake as he found the bottom right-hand corner.

82 min: Ashley Barnes has yet another penalty appeal turned down as he claims to have been fouled by Serge Aurier as he tried to unleash a shot. Tottenham substitution: Eric Dier off, Erik Lamela on.

81 min: Sam Vokes heads the ball into the Spurs net, but is penalised for a shove on Hugo Lloris as the pair jumped to contest the ball. It’s a fair cop.

80 min: Kane looks to have scored his fourth of the night, but is penalised for offside.

Harry Kane notches his seventh hat-trick of the year to put the game beyond Burnley. That’s his 53rd goal this calendar year and his 21st of the season.

77 min: Ashley Barnes launches the ball into the Tottenham penalty area in the general direction of Sam Vokes. Hugo Lloris clears, albeit a mite unconvincingly.

75 min: A heavy first touch from Sam Vokes scuppers his chance to pull a goal back for Burnley after finding himself through on goal with only Lloris to beat. He makes life far too easy for the Spurs keeper, who rushes off his line to claim the ball before the Welsh international can try to lift it over him.

72 min: There’s a break in play as Harry Kane and Ben Mee receive treatment after a nasty clash of heads. They’re both passed fit to continue. Burnley substitution: Sam Vokes on for Jeff Hendrick.

70 min: Tottenham needed that. After squandering numerous excellent chances to double their lead, they were under a period of sustained pressure from Burnley. By doubling their lead, they’ve dealt something of a hammer blow to Burnley’s hopes of mounting a comeback.

Harry Kane makes it 20 for the season, beating the offside trap and darting between the two Burnley centre-backs to pounce on a through ball from Moussa Sissoko and slot the ball between the legs of Nick Pope.

68 min: Barnes goes down in the box again, this time under a challenge from Ben Davies. The offside flag silences his latest appeal for a penalty.

66 min: Another penalty appeal for Burnley, as Barnes goes to ground in the Tottenham penalty area again after being shoved by Vertonghen.

64 min: Ashley Barnes and Serge Aurier tussle in the box and the pair go to ground. Barnes appeals for a penalty, but the referee awards a free-kick to Tottenham. Moments previously, Jeff Hendrick had sent in a cross from the right, but Davinson Sanchez intercepted before the ball reached Barnes. A good spell for Burnley.

63 min: Jan Vertonghen runs to the sideline to change one of his boots, while play continues on the field. Gudmondsson attempts to wriggle down the right flank but is outmuscled by Sissoko, who wins the ball and clears.

61 min: Harry Kane goes close with a shot on goal, while the crowd continue to barrack Dele Alli. This being a family minute-by-minute report, I won’t tell you what you’re singing about him, but suffice to say they have suspicions about what he gets up to by way of relaxation in his “alone” time.

59 min: Harry Kane has a wonderful chance to play Christian Eriksen in on goal with a simple pass to his right, but his delivery is woeful. spurs have squandered enough chances to win three or four matches this evening - Burnley are still in with a shout as long as their visitors remains this profligate.

56 min: Moussa Sissoko gets booked for dragging out of the shirt and arm of Scott Arfield.

54 min: An incredible miss from Son, who fires high over the bar from about seven yards out after being teed up by a splendidly squared ball by Serge Aurier, who’d been sent galloping upfield by a neat Harry Kane flick. Son holds his head in hands ... and well he might. That was a shocking miss.

53 min: Gudmondsson sends the ball towards the far post, where Jan Vertonghen goes down under a challenge from Kevin Long, backing into him, before Ben Mee chests down the ball and shoots over.

51 min: Ashley Barnes wins a free-kick for Burnley just inside their own half, drawing a foul from Eric Dier. Nick Pope sends the ball long and Burnley win a corner following an indecisive mix-up between Hugo Lloris and Davinson Sanchez.

49 min: Another poor clearance from Pope goes straight to Harry Kane. He passes to Son, who tries to play Eriksen in on goal. His shot is deflected to the relieved Burnley goalkeeper, who won’t be impressing Gareth Southgate with his poor distribution.

47 min: Dele Alli picks up a pass from Ben Davies in the centre-circle and drives forward, to a soundtrack of boos from the home crowd. Son and Eriksen link up well down the right side, with the Dane firing a cross towards the near post. Kane bursts through the gap between Ben Mee and Kevin Long, but is unable to hook the ball inside the upright.

46 min: Burnley get the second half under way, with no changes to either side just yet. Watching replays of the penalty decision during the interval, I can say that Dele Alli did make the most of Kevin Long’s late tackle, but the defender was asking for big trouble sticking his leg in to try to nick the ball from the Spurs forward, when there was no real need.

Harry Kane’s 19th goal of the season separates the sides as they troop off for their half-time refreshments. He scored from the spot after seven minutes, following a Kevin Long foul on Dele Alli. Burnley afforded Tottenham a little too much respect at first, but have improved markedly in the past 15 minutes. As long as there’s only a goal in it, they’ve got a decent chance of rescuing something from this game.

45+3 min: Tottenham Hotspur win a throw-in near the halfway line and tries to steal about 20 yards, further incensing a crowd that have booed him relentlessly since the fourth minute.

45 min: Charlie Taylor wins a corner for Burnley off Serge Aurier. Long and Mee come up for the set piece and Gudmondsson sends his out-swinger across the edge of the six-yard box. Harry Keane heads clear.

43 min: Ben Davies is upended by Phil Bardsley, who seems lucky to escape a booking. Son tries to take a quick free-kick on the left flank, but is called back by Michael Oliver.
