Match Reports

Dele Alli scored twice as Tottenham claimed a 3-2 Premier League victory over Bournemouth to maintain their winning start under new head coach Jose Mourinho.

Tottenham beat West Ham and Olympiacos in Mourinho's first two matches and were good value for their latest triumph at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, despite another late collapse.

Alli scored in either half to give the hosts a two-goal advantage, which Moussa Sissoko added to with his first league goal in his past 69 appearances.

Harry Wilson pulled two goals back for Bournemouth - a concerning repeat of the tense finale against West Ham for Mourinho - but Tottenham held on for back-to-back league wins for the first time since April to climb to fifth, six points off a Champions League place.

19' CLOSE! Son's shot inches wide

Kane spots Son racing forward down the left and feeds him in. The South Korean gets into the box and flashes his low shot just wide of the far post. The visitors won't want to let that happen again.

21' GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Bournemouth (Alli)

Son latches onto Alderweireld's long ball over the top and selflessly squares it for Alli to tap in. That was far too easy.

27' Handball early, Sanchez's goal disallowed

Bournemouth can't fully clear the corner. Son holds the ball up in the box and cuts back to Aurier, whose shot is blocked. It deflects kindly to Sanchez, who fires past Ramsdale. But VAR says Aurier's shot hit Sanchez first then fell back into his path. The Colombian was offside.

50' GOAL! Tottenham 2-0 Bournemouth (Alli)

Alli doubles his tally, and again it's another Alderweireld long ball! The midfielder chests the ball down in the box, skips past Stacey and Cook and slots it home. 

56' MISSS! Alli's shot wide out

Spurs pour men forward after another Bournemouth attack breaks down. Alli receives Sissoko's cut-back on the edge of the box but flashes his shot over the crossbar. 

69' GOAL! Tottenham 3-0 Bournemouth (Sissoko)

Kane slides Son down the left. Son hangs the ball up for Sissoko, who acrobatically volleys into the net from a tight angle! A lovely goal.

73' GOAL! Tottenham 3-1 Bournemouth (Harry Wilson)

Ndombele fouls Cook at the base of Spurs' midfield. Harry Wilson steps up to curl a left-footed free-kick past Gazzaniga which kisses the crossbar as it goes in. It surely can't be more than a consolation, but a good goal nonetheless.
