Tottenham 2-2 Bournemouth: Cherries fail to capitalise

Bournemouth's hopes of securing a historic first-ever campaign in Europe took a further blow after throwing away a two-goal lead at Tottenham.

The Cherries were coasting to all three points and set to climb up to sixth in the standings with 65 minutes played after Evanilson doubled their lead following Marcus Tavernier's opener.

Just two minutes later Pape Sarr's cross ended up looping towards goal and nestling into the net, before Son Heung-min drew the hosts level from the penalty spot in the final minutes.

Bournemouth will look back at chances spurned, with Evanilson and Justin Kluivert both denied by good saves in the opening five minutes, while the latter also saw a shot cannon back off the post in the second half.

The draw leaves Bournemouth sitting eighth and two points behind Brighton with 10 games to play and Europe is still firmly on the agenda.

However, Andoni Iraola's side will need to address their sliding form, having won just one of their past five fixtures, or their dreams may end up dashed.
