Rodrigo Bentancur’s stoppage-time goal sees Spurs complete a second-half comeback.
Tottenham Hotspur secured an incredible 3-2 victory at Bournemouth from two goals down as Rodrigo Bentancur completed a sensational fightback on Saturday.
Tottenham rallied from two goals down to defeat Bournemouth 3-2 in the second half thanks to a late goal from Rodrigo Bentancur.
After Kieffer Moore’s well-taken brace, Antonio Conte’s team was in danger of suffering their third straight Premier League loss, but goals from Ryan Sessegnon, Ben Davies, and Bentancur in the second half maintained them in the third position.
Tottenham manager Antonio Conte made many changes to his team in preparation for next week’s important Champions League match away in Marseille, and The Cherries took full advantage.

Moore finished off a flowing move in the 22nd minute when he curled a low shot past Hugo Lloris after a ball in from the right wing by Marcus Tavernier.
Soon after the break, Moore got a second with a header from a cross by Adam Smith.
Sessegnon scored with a left-footed shot in the 57th minute as he prepared to be replaced, and Davies headed in a corner in the 73rd minute.
Tottenham piled on the pressure and were rewarded in stoppage time when Bentancur, on as a substitute, fired in after a corner was not cleared by the Bournemouth defence.
With 26 points from 13 games, Tottenham is still in third place, with Bournemouth on 13 points.
