Tottenham were brought back to earth. |
After a spectacular 2-0 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad, many expected Thomas Frank's team to continue their winning streak. However, in the 5th minute, Tottenham's defense made a mistake, allowing Evanilson to break through and shoot, hitting a defender's foot and changing direction, bringing Bournemouth the opening goal.
The visitors continued to play with enthusiasm and almost made it 2-0 when David Brooks set up Antoine Semenyo for a close-range header but it failed. Spurs did not have a single shot in the entire first half.
In the second half, Bournemouth were still the better team. Brooks hit the crossbar, while Marcus Tavernier also shook the Spurs goal after a mistake by goalkeeper Vicario. Meanwhile, Tottenham's efforts were only dangerous, most notably Lucas Bergvall's weak shot in the 70th minute.
In the end, Spurs suffered their first defeat of the season, thereby missing the opportunity to win 3 consecutive victories in the first 3 rounds of the Premier League since the 2021/22 season. In contrast, Bournemouth had their 2nd consecutive victory, showing a clear improvement after a turbulent summer.
