Captain Heung-min Son rescued a point for Tottenham from the penalty spot as Bournemouth were denied a famous double over Spurs.
Europe-chasing Bournemouth were left kicking themselves as they squandered a two-goal lead to draw in north London, having outplayed their hosts on Sunday.
Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was called upon inside 15 seconds to make a fine save to prevent an early goal as returning defender Cristian Romero showed plenty signs of rustiness after three months out injured.
Andoni Iraola's side were deservedly two goals up and set to boost their top-four hopes after Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson netted either side of half-time.
Pape Matar Sarr threw Tottenham a lifeline with a speculative cross that looped over Bournemouth goalkeeper Kepa and then the loanee shot-stopper brought down substitute Heung-min Son in the area to gift Spurs an unlikely point.
Bournemouth, for whom Justin Kluivert had a goal disallowed and hit the post, moved up a place to eighth spot with 44 points as Tottenham stayed 13th with 34.
