If we got him in the bargain bin, that’s great for us.’ Maddison had been a doubt for this one, based on the sight of him leaving the United game a week ago with a protective boot on his right foot, but having managed only one training session all week he dominated large chunks of the match here. Dejan Kulusevski added a second goal as Tottenham wrapped up victory on the south coast Spurs striker Richarlison endured a frustrating afternoon and was later subbed off Andoni Iraola watched his Bournemouth slide slump to defeat in front of a home crowd Beyond the goal, he almost made a second with a surging 40-yard run and throughball for Richarlison – the Brazilian was caught between thoughts and botched his touch – and his wider defensive contributions helped when Bournemouth scented opportunity. Antonie Semenyo was his side's best outlet of attack but couldn't inspire them to a comeback Ange Postecoglou recorded his second victory and back-to-back win as Tottenham head coach Spurs captain Son Heung-min was a creative outlet in attack against Bournemouth Credit to Bournemouth for that passage of play – they swarmed with their attacks, just as they attempted to blanket Tottenham with their pressing.
