(Football news) The two teams square up for the first time since September, when Spurs defeated the Clarets 5-2 at Turf Moor in the Premier League.
Three days after losing 4-2 away at Brighton & Hove Albion, Tottenham recovered to overcome high-flying Bournemouth 3-1 at home on New Year’s Eve in the Premier League, capping off 2023 on a positive note.
Before heading off to their respective AFCON and Asian Cup assignments, Pape Matar Sarr and Son Heung-min both struck the target as parting gifts. Richarlison then added a third goal, his fifth in as many outings, to end the match. In the latter minutes, Alex Scott gave the Cherries a response, but it was insignificant as Spurs won their 12th league game of the year.
Fifth in the Premier League, Ange Postecoglou’s team took advantage of North London rivals Arsenal’s defeat at Fulham to close the gap to four points and keep their slim hopes of winning the championship alive, sitting just six points behind leaders Liverpool going into the second half of the season.
