Tottenham’s resurgence under Jose Mourinho continued as Dele Alli scored twice in a thrilling 3-2 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Spurs were cruising with 20 minutes remaining when, following on from Alli’s double (21, 50), Moussa Sissoko finished off a sweeping move to make it 3-0 (69).
But, for the second week running, Mourinho’s men had to withstand a late fightback as Harry Wilson scored twice (73, 90+6) for the Cherries.

Callum Wilson was then denied a dramatic equaliser by a vital challenge from Jan Vertonghen as Tottenham held on to move up to fifth, while Bournemouth drop to 12th after a third straight league defeat.
“I’m happy with many things in the game, but I think we have to improve other aspects – it’s normal,” Mourinho said after a third straight win. “We didn’t start well again, we didn’t finish well. We played well for a long period in the game, and I’m pleased with the victory, the points, with the flair, with the quality and with the goals.”
