BOURNEMOUTH 0-0 TOTTENHAM: Spurs Remain Unbeaten But Fail To Win at the Vitality Stadium

By: Dehinbo Timothy

Tottenham missed the chance to go top of the Premier League as they were held to a goalless draw at Bournemouth on Saturday.

The hosts’ best chance fell to Charlie Daniels after just five minutes but Hugo Lloris – Tottenham’s hero against Bayer Leverkusen in midweek  expertly tipped the defender’s effort onto the bar.

Spurs, who controlled 62 per cent possession at the Vitality Stadium, hit the woodwork themselves through Erik Lamela but failed to score for the first time in the league this season.

A fiery encounter saw referee Craig Pawson award six yellow cards, with Lamela fortunate to avoid a second yellow shortly before half-time for a late tackle on Dan Gosling.

The draw continues Tottenham’s unbeaten start to the season and they remain third in the table, while Bournemouth move into the top half with teams around them still to play.

Pochettino would not be so pleased with the stalemate, as his team could not move up the table, he should be pleased with the fact that his team remain the only unbeaten team in the Premier League Season.

Eddie Howe, is certainly pleased with the draw, as they move up further the table. After mauling Hull city last weekend and playing Spurs today,4 points in the last two games is good for the English Manager
