Bournemouth and Tottenham met in a bad-tempered Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon.

Mauricio Pochettino's side could have guaranteed Champions League football with a win this afternoon but debutant goalkeeper Mark Travers and red cards for Son Heung-min and Juan Foyth left them with an uphill battle.

And Nathan Ake headed what proved to be the winner in injury time as the Cherries finished their season at home with a win and leave Spurs with work to do to secure a top four spot.

Nice play from Ayew sends Batshuayi into the box with the ball. Bruno Manga blocks it and the ball falls to Ayew who hits one only for Morrison to throw himself in front on it. Last ditch stuff from Cardiff.

That could be it! Townsend runs the ball down the right wing beats Bennett and cuts inside once, then twice and finally places his shot back towards the near post and the ball hits the upright and rebounds into the net.
