Bournemouth vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result and final score as pressure builds on Ange Postecoglou
Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham: The hosts claimed a fully deserved win as Dean Huijsen’s header lifted the Cherries above Spurs in the table
Bournemouth leapfrogged Tottenham in the Premier League table as the Cherries claimed another home scalp and Ange Postecoglou’s side suffered their sixth defeat of the season.
Dean Huijsen’s free header from an early corner gave Bournemouth the lead and Andoni Iraola’s team were more than deserving of their victory, which adds to wins over Arsenal and Manchester City this season. The hosts wasted several chances to add to the scoreline.
By contrast, Spurs barely troubled Bournemouth’s goal and defeat means Postecoglou’s side are winless in the three games since beating Manchester City 4-0 at the Etihad, as their inconsistent campaign continued.
Tottenham could have gone 5th with a win but instead it is Bournemouth who climb to 9th in the table, ahead of Spurs in 10th. Spurs visit high-flying Chelsea on Sunday while Bournemouth go to Ipswich.
