Bournemouth vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League latest score and updates as Spurs trail to Dean Huijsen goal

‘Don’t write off Sonny’ – Postecoglou backs Spurs’ captain

Bournemouth welcome Tottenham to the Vitality Stadium as both sides look to climb the Premier League table amid mixed results of late.

The hosts beat Wolves 4-2 in a frantic match last weekend to climb up to 13th ahead of the midweek fixtures, and Andoni Iraola’s side have surprised both fans and pundits alike with their quality at times this season.

Ange Postecoglou’s side laboured to a 1-1 draw with Fulham which took them to seventh ahead of the next round of fixtures, with the Australian once again coming in for criticism in some parts after his team followed a scintillating 4-0 win over Manchester City with another poor result.

And with just two points separating the two teams at kick-off, it promises to be an intriguing contest on the south coast that gives both sides the chance to improve their position. Follow all of the latest from the Vitality Stadium in our live blog below:

Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham

45 mins: No changes for Spurs at half time, which is a choice…. Back underway. Fulham are beating Brighton 3-1, which means Tottenham would go 5th with a win tonight.

As it stands, Bournemouth are going above Spurs into 9th. Tottenham would go into the weekend in 10th.

HALF TIME! Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham

“I don’t think Tottenham can play any worse in the second half,” says Les Ferdinand on Prime Video.

Spurs have Son, Werner, Porro and Bergvall as options on the bench.

You’d imagine we will see Son very soon if this continues.

HALF TIME! Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham

As if to sum up Spurs’ half, the whistle blows as they move the ball from side to side on the edge of the Bournemouth box. They could have played for another five minutes there and not scored. Bournemouth lead.

Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham

44 mins: SAVE! So close to 2-0! Lovely play from Bournemouth with a great overlapping run and cross from Kerkez. It’s a wicked delivery, head height but at pace. It finds Tavernier but Forster sticks out a big foot and saves.

Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham

42 mins: Postecoglou rubs his face on the touchline. Spurs have been second-best. Bournemouth are playing with much more confidence.

Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham

37 mins: Chance for Kulusevski after Kerkez loses a 50-50 with Sarr… but Huijsen reads it well and cuts out the danger. From the Spurs corner, guess who makes the clearing header? Huijsen. He’s having a cracking game after looking slightly nervous early on.

Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham

33 mins: Just the one shot on target for Tottenham so far. They have the Premier League’s best attack this season, in terms of goals, but are not looking like it so far tonight. Bournemouth have been much more threatening so far.

Huijsen makes an excellent sliding challenge on Solanke to break up a Tottenham attack.

Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham

31 mins: Bournemouth have the ball in net again… but it’s offside! Still, Bournemouth broke forward so easily after Maddison gave the ball away. Evanilson was able to carry forward but his pass to Tavernier came too late and the attacker was a yard offside.
