BOURNEMOUTH 2-3 TOTTENHAM: KIERAN GILL AT THE VITALITY STADIUM: The comeback winner for Spurs was bagged by Rodrigo Bentancur after their 19th corner of the ...
Bournemouth looked in control but in the 57th minute, Tottenham gave themselves a chance. Conte brought on Dier and Bentancur with Tottenham making it 2-2 in the 73rd minute. There was some ugliness by the sidelines when Moura clashed with a Bournemouth ballboy. A cross by Adam Smith and a header by Moore, who wanted to get to the ball more than Royal. Once the game resumed, five minutes of stoppage time were announced and Tottenham won yet another corner. But Conte wanted to manage Dier and Bentancur’s minutes and dropped them for game No 9 of the month. Tavernier squared the ball to Moore. In the 23rd minute, Bournemouth led 1-0. Conte made those calls with a view to Tuesday’s trip to Marseille – a match they cannot lose, otherwise it’s curtains for them in the Champions League. Tottenham looked more like The White Tripes in the opening exchanges as Bournemouth took control of this match. Ryan Sessegnon kickstarted the comeback with a tidy finish from a tight angle. Finally, Rodrigo Bentancur struck the stoppage-time winner from Tottenham’s 19th corner of the match.
Spurs were denied a late winner in midweek but Bentancur's stoppage-time effort counted in a 3-2 triumph from 2-0 down at Bournemouth.
