London - Tottenham Hotspur climbed to fourth place in the English Premier League on Saturday after a hard-fought 2-0 win over Sunderland at White Hart Lane. Robbie Keane and Tom Huddlestone scored the goals for Spurs as they moved alongside Arsenal on 22 points, five behind leaders Chelsea, who play champions and second-placed Manchester United on Sunday.
Arsenal could go above United into second later on Saturday with a victory at Wolves.
Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers also claimed wins while Manchester City and Burnley shared six goals in an entertaining 3-3 draw that left City sixth.
Keane put Spurs ahead from close range early on, but Sunderland had plenty of possession and Andy Reid's brilliant volley almost brought them level only to rebound off the post.
Darren Bent missed a penalty for Sunderland early in the second half and Spurs made them pay when Huddlestone smashed in a brilliant strike from 25 yards.
Aston Villa are sandwiched between Tottenham and City after they thrashed Bolton Wanderers 5-1, where Ashley Young, Gabriel Agbonlahor and James Milner all scored in front of watching England manager Fabio Capello.
At Eastlands, Graham Alexander and Steven Fletcher sent Burnley fans wild when they put their side 2-0 up within 32 minutes.
But a deflected Shaun Wright-Phillips shot pulled one back for City just before half-time and goals from Kolo Toure and Craig Bellamy looked to have won it for City.
With just three minutes remaining, though, Kevin McDonald popped up to snatch the equaliser for Burnley.
Portsmouth took the lead at Blackburn but eventually went down 3-1 to remain bottom of the table, thanks to two goals from Jason Roberts.
