Bournemouth Throw Away Two-Goal Lead Against Spurs
The Tottenham Hotspur manager is coming under an increasing amount of pressure after Tottenham’s recent performances and a defeat to Bournemouth has only heightened this issue.
The visitors made a strong start to the match, as Tottenham struggled to deal with Bournemouth’s intense press and Evanilson forced a strong save from Guglielmo Vicario in the opening five minutes.
Justin Kluivert also had the opportunity to open the scoring in north London, however his effort was kept out by Spurs’ No.1 once again.
Bournemouth finally broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute, as Milos Kerkez delivered one of the assists of the season for Marcus Tavernier to smash the ball into the back of the net.
The second-half followed a similar theme with Bournemouth dominating and creating the better chances, as Evanilson thought he doubled the lead before VAR ruled the goal out for offside.
The Brazilian would eventually find Bournemouth’s second of the game, as the former Porto star scored with a deliciously chipped finish following a superb from Kluivert.
Tottenham looked to be dead and buried after the second goal, but they were handed a lifeline as Pape Matar Sarr scored minutes later – as his intended cross looped over Kepa and into the back of the net.
The game was completely turned on its head in the 84th minute, as Kepa tripped Son Heung-Min in the box and the South Korean star converted the penalty to tie the game at 2-2.
