Tottenham Hotspur suffered another crushing defeat on the South Coast as they were beaten by Bournemouth.
Tottenham were beaten by Dean Huijsen’s first-half header as the young defender netted his first Premier League goal. Despite missing several key players through injury, Ange Postecoglou’s team looked well off it once again as the pressure continues to mount on the Australian manager.
Fraser Forster ended up keeping the scoreline quite respectable for the North London club as he made seven big saves against the Cherries who dominated. Meanwhile, it was a torrid night in particular for one of Spurs’ attackers.
Tottenham player ratings vs Bournemouth
Fraser Forster – 7
Fraser Forster was certainly one of the few Tottenham players who could hold his head high. The goalkeeper made so many impressive stops to keep the game alive for Spurs.
Archie Gray – 6
Archie Gray did a good job slotting in at right-back in what was his first Premier League start. The 18-year-old did some nice defensive actions. Was moved to centre-back when Ben Davies was forced off with an injury.
Radu Dragusin – 5
Radu Dragusin again struggled in possession losing the ball on ten occasions and having a pass accuracy of just 79 percent.
Ben Davies – 5
Ben Davies was similar to his defensive partner Dragusin as he also struggled on occasions and was forced off with a hamstring issue after 62 minutes.
Destiny Udogie – 4
It was also a tough night for Destiny Udogie who got beaten several times down the Lilywhites’ left-hand side. Been miles off his best this campaign.
Pape Matar Sarr – 5
Pape Matar Sarr was hooked just before the hour mark as he was so poor in the middle of the park.
Yves Bissouma – 5
Yves Bissouma wasn’t much better than Sarr but he did manage some good passes and won possession but was generally quite poor.
James Maddison – 5
James Maddison had another frustrating evening as he failed to create any meaningful chances for the visitors.
Dejan Kulusevski – 6
Dejan Kulusevski proved once again to be Tottenham’s most lively player but it is this type of game where he needs to bring his best form; when the chips are down.
Dominic Solanke – 5
Not a happy return to the South Coast for Dominic Solanke who worked very hard, however, he struggled to make anything notable happen.
Brennan Johnson – 3
Tottenham played like they had ten men with Brennan Johnson on the pitch, the winger never got into the game and was a passenger for 90 minutes.
Substitutes
Heung-min Son – 6
Pedro Porro – 4
Lucas Bervall – 5
