Spurs 2 – 2 Bournemouth (Sunday 9^th March 2025)

Spurs’ most recent game against Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth in the Premier League took place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that’s located in the heart of North London back on Sunday 9th March 2025. The hosts were looking for a victory against a Cherries side who were chasing European football for the first time in the club’s history.

Ahead of this game against their South Coast counterparts, Tottenham Hotspur sat in 13th with a total of 33 points to their name up to that point in their 2024/25 top flight league campaign. They knew that with victory in this game, they could potentially move to within just 7 points of the European places.

Before facing Bournemouth, Tottenham’s most recent game in the Premier League was against the reigning English Champions Manchester City in the previous week, only to be narrowly beaten 1 – 0 thanks to a winning goal from Erling Haaland, who had scored early on in the first half of that game (12’).

As for the visitors, the Cherries had been narrowly beaten themselves, losing 2 – 1 to South Coast rivals Brighton.

Meanwhile, Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth were sat up in 7th place with 43 points ahead of this game against Spurs, and were amongst those battling for European Football come the end of last season. They were just three points adrift of the UEFA Champions League spots, and they knew that a victory against Tottenham Hotspur could well be enough for them to move into the top five.

In the end, it was an enthralling and a highly competitive 2 – 2 draw between the Lilywhites and the Cherries in their most recent Premier League encounter, which took place in the heart of North London at the famous and iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The first chance of the game came the way of the visitors Bournemouth who, through their Brazilian striker Evanilson forced a great early save from Spurs stopper Guglielmo Vicario within the first five minutes (1’). There were then more great saves, one from Justin Kluivert and another from Marcus Tavernier within seconds of each other and only a few moments after Evanilson’s effort on goal (4’).

Spurs then had a couple of chances of their own, with both coming in quick succession. English forward Dominic Solanke saw an effort on goal get well blocked by the opposition defence before their central defender Kevin Danso narrowly missed the target with a close range effort from within the penalty area following a corner from Solanke (6’). Yves Bissouma then had a shot blocked as well (10’).

Then just over twenty minutes into the game the aforementioned Dominic Solanke forced a great stop from Bournemouth’s Spanish stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga after the forward had met a cross from right back Pedro Porro (22’).

Just before half time, it was the visitors Bournemouth who ended up taking the lead in this game through former Middlesbrough player Marcus Tavernier – he was able to find the bottom left corner of the hosts’ net after being able to meet a cross into the box from Hungarian left back Milos Kerkez (42’).

The half time whistle then went, which saw Spurs go into the half-time break one goal behind ahead of the second half getting underway.

Just moments into the second half, Spurs forward Wilson Odobert had the opening chance of the half for the North London club, forcing a great block from the opposition defence (48’). Bournemouth then had a second goal, or so they thought, as it was promptly ruled out by VAR for offside, which adjudged the goal scorer Justin Kluivert to be offside (52’).

Son Heung-Min then had an effort get blocked well by the visitors’ defence (54’), before an effort, this time from the hots’ Argentinian international central defender Cristian Romero, forced a great save from Bournemouth Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga (55’).

The second goal of the game then soon arrived, and unfortunately for Tottenham Hotspur, it was to be a second for Bournemouth, who successfully made it 2 – 0 to Andoni Iraola’s Cherries side through Evanilson. He found the bottom right corner after being found by an incisive through ball from fellow forward Justin Kluivert (65’).

Then came a chance for Spurs through Lucas Bergvall, who was unlucky to only hit the post with his effort just after Bournemouth had doubled their advantage (66’).

Bergvall and Spurs did not have to dwell on this missed effort for long, as just a minute later the hosts had halved the deficit when fellow midfielder Pape Matar Sarr scored after finding the bottom left corner of the net after being found by the aforementioned Lucas Bergvall (67’).

This was the start of the comeback for Tottenham. In the last ten minutes of normal time, the Cherries conceded a penalty when Son Heung-Min was adjudged to have been fouled in the penalty area by Bournemouth Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga (82’). Son then stepped up to equalise for Spurs from the penalty spot after he successfully found the net to restore parity (84’).

After Alex Scott had had an effort get saved well by Vicario in second half stoppage time (90+1’), James Maddison had a chance to score the winning goal for Tottenham Hotspur on that day, only for his effort on goal to be blocked well by the visiting defenders deep into stoppage time at the end of the game in the second half (90+6’).

The second half came to a close with the full time whistle, which came just a few moments after this final opportunity of the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for both Spurs and Bournemouth.

It was the hosts Tottenham who had the most possession throughout the ninety minutes plus stoppage time with no less than 60.9% of the ball compared to the total of 39.1% for the visitors Bournemouth. The Cherries did though have the most shots on target with 8 compared with a grand total of 4 for Spurs.
