The match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium saw Bournemouth take a two-goal lead with goals from Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson. Spurs narrowed the gap when Pape Matar Sarr’s cross inadvertently found the net. Son earned and converted a penalty in the 84th minute after being fouled by goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, securing a point for the hosts.

Despite their resilience, Spurs’ unconvincing display highlighted ongoing challenges under manager Ange Postecoglou. This result leaves Tottenham in 13th place with 34 points, while Bournemouth moves up to eighth with 44 points, keeping their European ambitions alive.
