Tottenham recorded their first Premier League victory at Wembley as Christian Eriksen’s second-half winner saw off a resolute Bournemouth.
Having picked up maximum points from their four league games on the road this season, it was Spurs’ first win in four attempts at their temporary home, but Tottenham sensation, Harry Kane could not replicate his form which had seen him scored 11 goals so far in the league.
Bournemouth’s back five stifled Spurs in the first half, but Eriksen gave the hosts the lead immediately after the break with a smart left-footed finish.
Jermain Defoe almost levelled against his old side after coming off the bench, but Hugo Lloris was equal to the striker’s low effort.
It was Tottenham captain Lloris’ second big save of the match after Eric Dier almost turned a Bournemouth corner into his own net in the first half.
Asmir Begovic was kept busier at the other end, but got the better of Harry Kane on several occasions in a frustrating afternoon for the England striker, BBC reports.
