The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent. 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.
