5 things we learned from Tottenham v Bournemouth

In-form Spurs a joy to watch

When Tottenham play like they did on Saturday, they are an absolute joy to watch.

The likes of Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli, Son Heung-min, and Harry Kane are at the top of their game, and if they show the same confidence and exuberance they showed against the Cherries over the coming weeks, they will take some stopping.

Kane returned to the side but didn’t look like he ever left it, while the midfield trio of Eriksen, Alli, and Son were a handful for the Bournemouth backline, as they were unpredictable in their movement and positioning, and showed telling touches in the box, with all three bagging at least an assist from the contest.

Any side in the Premier League would’ve struggled to contain Spurs today, who showed no signs of nerves as they closed the gap on Chelsea to just four points.
