Bournemouth v Tottenham – story of the match
Junior Stanislas gave Bournemouth the lead but goals from Dele Alli and Heung-Min Son turned the match in Tottenham’s favour.
Tottenham climbed to third in the Premier League but lost top-scorer Harry Kane to injury as they came from behind to win 4-1 at Bournemouth.
England international Kane limped off with just over half an hour played at the Vitality Stadium after sustaining an ankle problem while scoring an offside goal.
Spurs were 1-0 down at that point following Junior Stanislas’ early opener but goals from Dele Alli, Son Heung-min (two) and Serge Aurier turned the game in their favour as they bounced back from their midweek Champions League exit to move above Liverpool in the battle for a top-four finish.

Star man – Son Heung-min
Arguably one of the most under-rated players in the Premier League, Son is in a rich vein of form at the moment and has scored seven goals in his last four appearances. His hot streak might be a timely one with Harry Kane looking like he is set for a spell on the sidelines with an injury.

Data point
Not content with only getting his name on the score sheet, Alli’s assist for Son’s first goal was his ninth in the Premier League this season – only Kevin De Bruyne (14) and Leroy Sane (11) have more
