Despite having a couple of good chances, Spurs could never seem to get back into the game. And they may be lucky not to have to return to London with a bigger deficit.
Club legend Les Ferdinand suggested Spurs looked lethargic in a game where they needed to win against Bournemouth.
“Every time Bournemouth went forward they looked like they were going to score, but Tottenham didn’t,” the former striker told ยูฟ่าเบท http://ufabet999.app.
“They didn’t have the urgency, they didn’t have the strength, they weren’t 50-50. We didn’t know what Spurs were up to and this wasn’t the game the fans wanted.”
