Evanilson's early goal decided a 1-0 Bournemouth win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs had won their first two league matches against Burnley and Manchester City before this defeat. Tottenham managed just five shots, one on target, and registered an expected goals figure of 0.17, the joint-fewest attempts and lowest xG Bournemouth have faced away in the Premier League. Problems included poor handling of balls played behind and second-ball situations. New signing Xavi Simons watched from the stands and is expected to help strengthen the squad when available. Consistency remains a concern.
Not a shock if I'm honest but not what I expected. I hoped for more. We played against a good Bournemouth team. I don't think we handled the balls behind and the second ball game very well for whatever reason. They play behind as soon as they can and have willing runners. A few passes and they play the ball behind. That's difficult to play against. In football, it goes so quickly. We can still find good bits but overall, it's not a good performance.
I think it's a great addition for us. Always, we look to see if we can strengthen the squad. That's the plan, but we only want players who can improve us,
