Paulinho helped Tottenham recover from an awful start in their FA Cup tie with Burnley last night to win 4-2.

The two sides were playing a replay after drawing the original tie 1-1 and Burnley started at a blistering pace as they went 2-0 up within eight minutes. But two minutes after the Lancashire club scored their second goal Paulinho controlled an Andros Townsend cross and hammered into the net. 

Tottenham managed to equalise before half time and as Burnley tired they confirmed their victory to move on and play Leicester in the next round. 

Paulinho will hope this kickstarts his career in the Premier League as he has been on the bench for much of this season. Recent reports have linked him with a move to Juventus in Italy.
