Tottenham fought from two goals down to deny Bournemouth a victory that would have boosted their Champions League qualification hopes, after goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga conceded a late penalty for a foul on Son Heung Min.

Andoni Iraola’s stylish, high-energy team deservedly led thanks to goals either side of half time from Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson, with the Cherries on their way to moving into sixth place in the Premier League table.

But Spurs, who were booed off at half-time, pulled one back through Pape Matar Sarr’s miscued cross, before Kepa came rushing off his line looking to reach a through ball only to instead foul Tottenham skipper Son.

Son stepped up to dink his penalty down the middle, rescuing a point for Tottenham after back-to-back defeats. It lifts some pressure on Ange Postecoglou ahead of Thursday’s Europa League last-16 second leg against AZ Alkmaar, with Spurs trailing 1-0.

Bournemouth remain 8th in the table and will wonder what could have been after blowing a two-goal lead. Follow all the reaction from Tottenham 2-2 Bournemouth below.

What is the Tottenham team news?

The big question mark for Spurs is over ex-Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke, who returned from seven weeks out with a knee injury against AZ Alkmaar only to limp off with another issue. Ange Postecoglou described it was a “knock” in his pre-match conference so he could be available for the visit of his former club.

Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven were both on the bench and could feature this time out, while Ben Davies has returned to training but is still a doubt.

Good morning

Welcome to live coverage of Tottenham Hotspur v Bournemouth.

Spurs host Andoni Iraola’s side as they look to bounce back from their midweek Europa League defeat to AZ Alkmaar. The visitors will hope to convert their FA Cup penalty shootout success against Wolves last time out into more sterling Premier League form, following a couple of damaging defeats to Brighton and Wolves again.

We’ll have all the build-up and team news before kick-off at 2pm.
