THERE GOES THE FINAL WHISTLE!
Alex Scott denied a second goal for Bournemouth for an offside call as he headed home. All over. A 3-1 win for Spurs, who are fifth in the table, three points behind leaders Liverpool and Aston Villa.

INTO EIGHT ADDED MINUTES
Looks like an injury to Spurs substitute Alejo Veliz, while a few bookings dished out to Lo Celso and manager Postecoglou on the Spurs bench. Veliz forced off and Spurs will end the match with 10 men.

HOW DID THAT STAY OUT?
Almost 4-1. Bryan Gil somehow heads off the bar from almost under it. Lovely cross from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg before Royal collects a booking for a late trip.

GOAL FOR SPURS (RICHARLISON)
Brilliant move by Spurs, surely to put this match as Richarlison makes it five goals from five matches by nudging home the Johnson cross. Surely game, set and match.

This time Solanke is late on Davies to buy Spurs some relief. Heading for final 10 minutes as Marcos Senesi is booked for a late on Lo Celso.

SPURS CHASE A KILLER THIRD
Fine stop by Neto in the visiting goal to dive low to his right in making a great stop to deny Richarlison, whose shot is blocked well. Still 2-0.

GOAL FOR SPURS! (SON)
A thumping finish from Son Heung-Min racing through the middle from Giovani Lo Celso. What a pass with the outside of the left foot. And Son did the rest with a blistering hit in off the post. They lead 2-0.

CHANCE TO FINISH IT FOR SPURS
Son delayed his shot and tried to go beyond the last man, but a fine tackle by Marcos Senesi. Super piece of last-ditch tackling.

BETTER PLAY FROM TOTTENHAM
Smith knocks the ball behind for a corner after a brilliant cross from Johnson. A corner to the home team. Neto off his line to punch clear. This game still in the balance.

MORE INJURY ISSUES FOR SPURS
Well, Emerson Royal is caught late by Vicario as he clears with Spurs cut wide open. He is on the deck, but looks like he will be okay to continue.
