Another upset at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth secured a 1-0 victory over Tottenham, adding to their list of top Premier League scalps this season. Dean Huijsen capitalized on Tottenham's vulnerability at set pieces, heading home the winning goal in the 17th minute. The defeat left Spurs fans visibly frustrated, with some directing their disappointment towards manager Ange Postecoglou.

Bournemouth's triumph saw them climb to ninth in the standings, one point above Tottenham. The Cherries have shown a knack for surprising high-profile visitors, with wins over Manchester City and Arsenal earlier in the season.

For Tottenham, it was their sixth loss of the campaign, highlighting the inconsistency plaguing their season. Despite notable victories against Manchester United and Manchester City, their away form has been concerning, with four losses and a draw against relegation candidates Leicester.
