It was a heartbreaking end to the match for Tottenham as they were defeated by Bournemouth in dramatic fashion. Interim manager Cristian Stellini was left feeling frustrated after his side conceded an injury-time winner to lose 3-2.
The game had been a close affair, with both sides having chances to take the lead. Bournemouth had the better of the first half, but Tottenham came out fighting in the second and took the lead through a goal from Lucas Moura. However, Bournemouth equalised shortly after and then took the lead in the 81st minute. Tottenham managed to equalise again in the 90th minute, but it wasn’t enough as Bournemouth scored the winner in the dying seconds of the match.
Stellini was disappointed with his side’s performance, saying: “It was a tough day for us. We had our chances to take the lead but we weren’t able to take them. We conceded a late goal and that was the difference between us and Bournemouth.”
The result means that Tottenham are now seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League table. They will be hoping to bounce back in their next match against West Ham on Saturday 15 April, which will be shown live on Match of the Day at 22:20 BST on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.
