Tottenham come from behind to draw against Bournemouth

19

Substitute Son Heung-min scored a late penalty as Tottenham came from two goals down to secure a draw against Bournemouth.

Bournemouth were heading for a routine away win after getting the better of exchanges in a wide-open game.

Marcus Tavernier latched on to Milos Kerkez’s inviting cross to set Bournemouth on their way before Evanilson’s lifted finish put the visitors firmly in control after half-time.

Spurs hit back in unorthodox circumstances when Pape Sarr’s intended cross looped towards goals and left Kepa Arrizabalaga clutching at thin air.

Son, who came on at half-time, proved to be Tottenham’s hero from the penalty spot after he was brought down by Kepa.

Both sides saw efforts hit the woodwork in the second period with Son’s curling shot nicking the post and going wide, while Justin Kluivert’s low-driven shot cannoned back into play.

The draw keeps Tottenham sitting 13th with Bournemouth climbing up one place to eighth and leaving them two points shy of sixth-placed Brighton.
