AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
Tottenham claimed a stunning 3-2 victory at Bournemouth from two goals down as Rodrigo Bentancur completed a sensational fightback on the south coast on Saturday.
Antonio Conte’s side were staring at a third successive Premier League defeat after Kieffer Moore’s well-taken brace but second-half-goals by Ryan Sessegnon, Ben Davies and Bentancur kept them in third place.
With one eye on next week’s vital Champions League clash away in Marseille, Tottenham manager Antonio Conte made several changes to his side and Bournemouth took full advantage.
Moore finished off a flowing move in the 22nd minute when he curled a low shot past Hugo Lloris after a ball in from the right wing by Marcus Tavernier.
Moore then added a second shortly after halftime with a header from Adam Smith’s cross.
Sessegnon was about to be substituted when he popped up to fire home left-footed in the 57th minute and then Davies powered a header in from a corner in the 73rd minute.
Tottenham piled on the pressure and were rewarded in stoppage time when Bentancur, on as a substitute, fired in after a corner was not cleared by the Bournemouth defence.
Tottenham stayed in third place with 26 points from 13 games with Bournemouth on 13 points.

Tottenham have ended their mini-rut to bolster their place in the top four for now. It's timely, as they host Liverpool next after an important trip to Marseille. That's all for now. Goodbye!
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
The three points keep Tottenham third in the Premier League behind Manchester City and Arsenal. Conte's men won 10 points from losing positions already this season. They're made of stern stuff. Bournemouth stay 14th. They'll be disappointed not to have hung on for a draw here, but they put up a good fight.
