That's all for today, goodbye!
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:34
That's back-to-back wins for Spurs and it lifts them to the top of the table for now with seven points. Next up for them is a trip to Fulham in the EFL Cup second round. Bournemouth's search for their first win under Iraola continues, and they'll be hoping to get it against Swansea City in the EFL Cup in midweek.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:32
Spurs' unbeaten to the start continues with a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth. Maddison gave them the lead in the first half with his first goal for the club, latching onto Sarr's throughball to help it past Neto. Bournemouth had chances to get back into it, with Billing and Semenyo both coming very close. Just as the hosts were looking to assert their dominance in the second half, Spurs got their second, with Kulusevski racing in to beat Neto from close range.

FULL-TIME: BOURNEMOUTH 0-2 TOTTENHAM.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:30
It opens up through the middle for Brooks, who slides it forward to pick out Solanke. Van de Ven tracks his run, so the forward unselfishly pulls it back to Anthony. He hits the shot first time but sends it looping high over the bar.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:28
WIDE! Bournemouth commit bodies forward again and it leaves them open at the back for Son to flick it onto Perisic. He has a free run into the box and fires a low shot across goal, but it rolls wide.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:28
OVER! It's sent long over the top for Porro, who nods it down to Perisic. He has space for a shot, but he pulls it back to Son instead, though he's surrounded. He touches it back to Davies, who does take aim, but he blazes it over.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:27
Spurs are back in possession, and they're happy to keep it in their own half for the time being as they attempt to see out stoppage time with a clean sheet.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:25
Bournemouth are still pushing to try and pull a goal back here, but they just can't keep the ball in the final third. Solanke attempts to drive down the right, only to be cut off by Davies.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:22
Spurs break quickly on the counter and Kelly can't keep pace with Kulusevski as he bursts down the right. He fizzes it into the middle, and Perisic leaves it for Son, only for Zabarnyi to cut it out in front of the South Korean.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:20
Spurs have had two players under the age of 21 (Sarr and Udogie) assist a goal in a Premier League game for the first time since December 2007 against Fulham (Tom Huddlestone and Aaron Lennon).

Kerkez's persistence wins a corner for his side off Hojbjerg and Traore whips it into the box. It's too close to Neto though, and he punches it away.

14:13
Substitution Iyenoma Destiny Udogie Benjamin Thomas Davies
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:12
Udogie is down holding his face after being caught. He requires treatment, and Davies is getting warmed-up on the sidelines in case he's needed.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:10
The rain is coming down heavily once more here as Spurs look to add to their tally again. Lo Celso tries to square it into Son, but Zabarnyi gets a vital toe in to take it back to Neto.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:08
Van de Ven slides in with a well-timed tackle to stop Solanke in his tracks, but Brooks keeps the move alive for the hosts. He switches it out to Anthony on the left, but he can't pick out a team-mate with his cross.

AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:02
Van de Ven is down for Spurs holding his face after being caught by Solanke during an aerial challenge. His team-mates aren't happy that nothing was given, but a quick VAR check shows that the elbow wasn't intentional by the forward.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:59
SAVE! Bournemouth's high press pays off once more and Anthony sees the space open up ahead of him down the left. He's the furthest forward so has to go it alone, but his tame shot is straight at Vicario.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:57
That Spurs goal has rattled Bournemouth and they're struggling to regain their rhythm from before the substitutions were made. Spurs push forward through Udogie once more, but he can't pick out a team-mate this time.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:55
Goal Dejan Kulusevski
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:55
Spurs have struggled to get forward in the second half so far, but it's better for them here as they move it quickly down the right. Kulusevski squares it into the middle towards Son, but it's just behind the captain.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:52
And Traore is brought on in place of Christie.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:52
Bournemouth are also making a double change here. Kluivert goes off for Anthony.

Substitution Pape Matar Sarr Ivan PerišiÄ
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:49
SO CLOSE! Again, Spurs are caught out by Bournemouth's attack from the left, and Kluivert lays it off to Semenyo on the edge of the box. He hits the shot first time, whipping it towards the near top corner, but it hits the side netting.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:48
It's slid into the box for Solanke, and he spins away from Van de Ven to get in on goal, but then unselfishly chooses to square it to the far post for Kluivert instead. The winger wasn't expecting it, and he can't make contact with it.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:45
Yellow Card Richarlison de Andrade
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:45
When the referee goes back to award the free-kick to Bournemouth, he also shows Bissouma a yellow card for the tackle.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:45
Semenyo tracks back to win the ball back deep in his own half once more and he surges through the middle, riding a challenge from Bissouma in the process. He overhits the pass out to Kluivert, but the referee pulls it back for that foul anyway.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:43
The hosts win a free-kick on the left and Cook curls his cross into the box. Again, Spurs get a lot of men on the front post and they get enough on it to take it away from Billing at the far post.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:40
Bournemouth have made a bright start to the second half and they're putting Spurs under pressure. They work it out to Cook on their left and he curls a cross in, but can only pick out Bissouma.

Spurs get us back underway for the second half!
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:36
Substitution Joseph Matthew Rothwell Lewis John Cook
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:33
Postecoglou will be fairly pleased with what he saw in the first half - it took his side a while to settle down, but when they did they created some great chances. They just need to be more clinical. Despite struggling in the final third, Bournemouth have shown they're still a threat and can cause Spurs some problems with a bright start to the second half.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:27
Maddison's first goal for Spurs gives them a 1-0 lead over Bournemouth at half-time. He'd already had one shot well-saved by Neto early on, but he was alert and timed his run perfectly to get on the end of Sarr's throughball to help it into the back of the net to give Spurs the lead. Richarlison could've added to the lead but squandered a big chance. Billing almost levelled things on the stroke of half-time, but he whipped his shot just wide of the far post.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:22
HALF-TIME: BOURNEMOUTH 0-1 TOTTENHAM.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:22
WIDE! Billing wins it back in the centre circle and switches it out to Kluivert on the left. He drives to the edge of the box before squaring it to Billing, who tries to curl it into the far post, but it flashes just wide.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:20
Maddison has been involved in 18 goals in his last 20 away Premier League appearances (nine goals, nine assists), scoring one and assisting two in two away games for Spurs.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:17
Richarlison has a free run down the right, but Kelly rushes across and slides in to stop him. He's late with the tackle though, and he's shown the first booking of the game.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:16
Maddison nicks it back in midfield once more and he spots Porro's run off the back of Christie. He plays a wonderful throughball into the box, but the full-back can't reach it on the stretch.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:15
Rothwell's latest corner is flicked away at the near post, but Christie keeps it alive on the far side. It's clipped back into the box by Zabarnyi, with Kelly flicking it on, but Billing's path is blocked by Van de Ven.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:13
GOOD SAVE! Semenyo brilliantly wins it back off Bissouma and touches it through to Christie. The space opens up for him so he puts his laces through it from distance, and Vicario has to stretch to tip it away.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:11
Maddison nicks the ball off Aarons and is then rugby tackled by the full-back so he can't get into the box. He steps up to the free-kick near the left byline and he whips it to Richarlison at the far post, but he heads it into the side netting.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:10
It was Romero who slid in with the tackle on Semenyo at the start of that move, and the winger stayed down. He nows receives treatment on his knee after the heavy challenge, but he'll be able to continue.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:08
WHAT A CHANCE! The home fans want a free-kick on the edge of the D, but it isn't given and Spurs sprint forward on the counter. Maddison slides it into the box for Richarlison, who bundles it around Kelly before taking aim, but Rothwell throws himself in front of it.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:06
Bournemouth win a free-kick down the right and it's swung into the box by Christie. He curls a deep cross towards the far post and Billing rises to meet it, but he thumps his header straight at Vicario.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:05
Bournemouth's biggest threat looks to be down their right side as Billing peels away from Udogie once more. He tries to look for Solanke through the middle, but he'd just strayed offside.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:03
Sarr has stayed down after being caught in the face and he needs treatment. He's quickly back to his feet though, and will be able to carry on.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:01
Billing manages to find a pocket of space down the right and he slides it forward for Semenyo to chase. He checks back, leaving Sarr on the floor, before trying to curl a shot on goal, but Romero blocks it.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:00
Bournemouth are struggling to get into the final third here. They're playing well through midfield, but their passing is getting sloppy whenever they get close to the box.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:58
Vicario clears his lines, sending it long for Bissouma, who flicks it onto Kulusevski. He has a clear run into the box, but Kelly recovers well to get across and block his cross towards Richarlison.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:54
SAVE! Spurs break quickly once more, with Son driving down the left for Spurs. He pulls it back to Sarr on the edge of the box, and he tries to place his shot into the far bottom corner, but Neto holds it.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:53
The corner is swung into the box by Rothwell and he picks out Kelly, who rises highest at the far post. He nods it down into the middle, and Zabarnyi tries to hit it on the volley, but he completely misses the ball.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:51
Bournemouth are looking to make a quick response to going behind as they work it down their left. Kerkez jinks away from Porro so he can clip a cross into the middle, but it's just too high for Solanke.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:48
Assist Pape Matar Sarr
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:48
Spurs are starting to up the pressure here, but their final ball into the box is just letting them down. Sarr and Kulusevski both put good balls into the box, but Bournemouth are equal to it.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:46
GOOD SAVE! It's a nervy moment at the back for Neto as his clearance is cut out by Son and his touch takes it to Maddison. He darts into the box before drilling a low shot across goal from the left, but the keeper gets down to deny him.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:43
Bournemouth won 3-2 away from home the last time they faced Spurs in April last season, but the Cherries have never won consecutive league meetings with them before.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:41
Maddison spins before taking aim at goal, and there are some shouts for a handball against Aarons as he blocks it. The shot deflected off Richarlison in front of him before striking his arm though, and nothing is given.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:40
Billing forces Sarr into an error, and his wayward pass gifts possession back to Bournemouth. Kelly tries to pick out Semenyo with a big switch of play, but gets it all wrong and Spurs have the ball once more.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:39
Bournemouth are pressing high up the field, but Spurs have the confidence to pass it around them. Maddison is chased into his own box, but he keeps his cool to play it out of trouble and set his side on the attack.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:36
It's a lovely link-up between Son and Maddison as they play a one-two to get the captain into the box. Son pulls it back from the byline towards Richarlison, but Kelly steps in to cut it out.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:34
It's a nervy start for Spurs, who get caught trying to play out from the back. Maddison loses it to Semenyo on the edge of his own box and the winger pokes it through to Billing, but Van de Ven bundles it out for a corner.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:31
Christie gets the game underway for Bournemouth!

Spurs have won just one of their last nine Premier League away games (D3 L5), conceding in all of those matches since a 1-0 win at Fulham in January. They are, however, unbeaten in their last five trips to the south coast (W3 D2) since a 1-0 defeat at Brighton and Hove Albion in January 2021.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
12:26
Postecoglou sticks with the same starting line-up that beat United last weekend. Maddison is fit to retain his place here, despite leaving the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on crutches after that game.
AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur

They're looking to continue their unbeaten start to the season after drawing 2-2 with Brentford on the opening day. As for Bournemouth, they're still looking for their first victory since Andoni Iraola took charge.
