Tottenham beat Bournemouth 4-0 at White Hart Lane on Saturday, April 15. Here are all the highlights from the match.
Tottenham continued their excellent form in their Premier League match against Bournemouth at White Hart Lane on Saturday. They opened the scoring in the 16th minute, with Mousa Dembele rifling home when Bournemouth failed to clear a corner.
Heung-min Son doubled Spurs’ lead three minutes later. Jack Wilshere gave the ball away in midfield, before Son exchanged passes with Harry Kane, accelerated past Steve Cook and finished through Artur Boruc’s legs.
Bournemouth barely mustered a dangerous attack all game. They delivered a couple of decent crosses from the right, but nothing their forwards were able to get close to. Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris didn’t make a save until the 74th minute, an easy stop from a speculative Charlie Daniels strike.
Tottenham picked up where they left off in the first half after the break, Kane scoring in the 47th minute with a tidy left-footed finish after beating Simon Francis in the box. The Englishman looked sharp on his return to the starting XI. His goal made him only the fourth player to score 20 goals three seasons in a row. The other three are Alan Shearer, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Thierry Henry — good company, to say the least.
To cap off a dominant performance, Vincent Janssen scored his first goal from open play all season, converting in second-half stoppage time after the Cherries yet again failed to deal with a corner.
