Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Bournemouth at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier today as they hoped to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. Spurs made a bright start to the game and scored the opening goal in the ninth-minute courtesy of Pape Matar Sarr’s effort. The North London club controlled the game well and went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
