Rodrigo Bentancur's stoppage time goal capped off a brilliant comeback as Tottenham Hotspur picked up all three points on the road against AFC Bournemouth ...
- I never, ever want to see that combination of defenders on the back line again. - I was all set to give Ryan Sessegnon man of the match for Spurs, but Rodrigo Bentancur was brilliant in his 40 minutes of play. - Tale of two halves, to say the least. - 90+2’ - GOAL SPURS!!!! - 57’ - GOAL SPURS!!! He got flipped a few times in the formation and it didn’t matter where he was. - 4’ - Speaking of chances, another one for Bournemouth on the break. - 36’ - Hey a chance! VAR has a look at it but it’s just a goal kick in the end. Fantastic ball into the box by Son that comes off a Bournemouth defender’s head, almost for an own goal. He beats a flailing Sanchez with his pass, allowing Moore to curl it into the corner. Inconsistency has been a big issue for Antonio Conte’s boys, but with a gauntlet of matches remaining before the World Cup break, the Italian was forced to rotate in defense and midfield for this match.

They were rewarded in stoppage time when the ball fell to Bentancur in the area and he hooked a shot past [Mark Travers](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/7441/Mark-Travers). [Ryan Sessegnon](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/241328/Ryan-Sessegnon) was about to be substituted by Conte in the 57th minute but the left back earned a reprieve when he reduced the arrears with an angled left-foot shot. [Eric Dier](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/155532/Eric-Dier), Bentancur, [Lucas Moura](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/130711/Lucas-Moura) and [Ivan Perisic](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/103485/Ivan-Perisic) in the second half, were unrecognisable from their first half performance as they pushed Bournemouth back.
