Match Reports

Another dominant display saw Tottenham beat Bournemouth 5-0 in the Premier League on Wednesday.

Having given Everton a nightmare before Christmas in a 6-2 victory at Goodison Park on Sunday, three first-half goals laid the foundations for another convincing triumph.

Kyle Walker-Peters seemingly still had some presents to hand out as he provided the assists for Christian Eriksen, Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura to find the net before the break.

Match Events

16'GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Bournemouth (Eriksen)

GOAL! 1-0 SPURS! It's a cruel one for Bournemouth but shows Spurs' quality. Walker-Peters passes inside to Eriksen outside the area. In plenty of space, the Dane shoots at goal - a deflection off Ake wrong-foots Begovic and the home side have the lead.

23'GOAL! Tottenham 2-0 Bournemouth (Son)

 GOAL! Spurs are looking ruthless. Daniels hesitates in clearing a high ball in his own area despite two chances to do so. Walker-Peters intercepts and passes inside to Son - the South Korean takes a step and plants the ball into the bottom left corner of the net. 2-0 Spurs already, and this game looks over as a contest.

35'GOAL! Tottenham 3-0 Bournemouth (Lucas)

GOAL! This is turning into a rout. Walker-Peters latches onto a direct ball after Daniels switches off. The full-back cuts the ball back for Moura and the Brazilian smashes the ball into the net. A simple goal, but brutally effective. 3-0 Spurs.

61'GOAL! Tottenham 4-0 Bournemouth (Kane)

GOAL! 4-0 Spurs. Stanislas' corner is headed as far as Fraser who loses it. Eriksen sets Kane on his way and Kane takes the ball towards the left corner flag. He passes back to Eriksen - Lerma blocks his initial effort, but the Dane's second lofted ball finds Kane arriving in the area and the England captain makes no mistake with a hooked volley on his left foot.

70'GOAL! Tottenham 5-0 Bournemouth (Son)

GOAL! 5-0! Five-star Spurs score again! Rose ventures forward, putting Kane through with a simple ball. Kane puts Ake on his backside but slips himself at a tight angle. He pokes the ball to Rose, who slips too! Kane gets back to his feet and cuts back for Moura, whose shot is saved by Begovic but Son taps in from close range!
