On New Year’s Eve, Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning ways after tough final assignment of the year, beating the in-form AFC Bournemouth by a 3-1 scoreline.
The Cherries are flying under Andoni Iraola, but goals from Pape Sarr, Son Heung-min and Richarlison did the damage before Alex Scott pulled one back later on for the visitors. The three points move Ange Postecoglou’s team up to within a point of Man City and Arsenal, following the latter’s defeat to Fulham at the same time as this game took place.
