Rodrigo Bentancur's stoppage time goal capped off a brilliant comeback as Tottenham Hotspur picked up all three points on the road against AFC Bournemouth ...
- I never, ever want to see that combination of defenders on the back line again. - I was all set to give Ryan Sessegnon man of the match for Spurs, but Rodrigo Bentancur was brilliant in his 40 minutes of play. - Tale of two halves, to say the least. - 90+2’ - GOAL SPURS!!!! - 57’ - GOAL SPURS!!! He got flipped a few times in the formation and it didn’t matter where he was. - 4’ - Speaking of chances, another one for Bournemouth on the break. - 36’ - Hey a chance! VAR has a look at it but it’s just a goal kick in the end. Fantastic ball into the box by Son that comes off a Bournemouth defender’s head, almost for an own goal. He beats a flailing Sanchez with his pass, allowing Moore to curl it into the corner. Inconsistency has been a big issue for Antonio Conte’s boys, but with a gauntlet of matches remaining before the World Cup break, the Italian was forced to rotate in defense and midfield for this match.
Ryan Sessegnon, Ben Davies and Rodrigo Bentancur helped Spurs defeat Bournemouth 3-2, who had a two-goal lead through a Kieffer Moore double.
“This winner has to give us enthusiasm, the passion, to go to Marseille to play in what will be a final for us.” I saw in the eyes of my players that they decided to win this game.” Conte soon celebrates a year at the Tottenham helm. But with Conte’s cavalry stripped and ready, Sessegnon halved the deficit. I said to the players after the first half that they had to take responsibility. And they are likely to be boosted in southern France by Dejan Kulusevski’s return. For Spurs, attention turns quickly from next season’s Champions League race to the current one. We then started to play with nastiness, with the desire to hurt the opponent. Tottenham must address their concerning trend of starting tardily and the performance of a heavily rotated side did little to ease concerns about squad depth. Moore was again the source of misery, stooping his 6ft 5in frame to bravely meet Adam Smith’s sublime whipped cross. “I thought I could have a heart attack with two disallowed goals in a few days,” he said. Season-defining is perhaps a stretch but this victory, or at least the manner of it, could certainly shape Tottenham’s immediate future.
