Tottenham claimed a stunning 3-2 victory at Bournemouth from two goals down as Rodrigo Bentancur completed a sensational fightback on the south coast on Saturday.

Antonio Conte’s side were staring at a third successive Premier League defeat after Kieffer Moore’s well-taken brace but second-half-goals by Ryan Sessegnon, Ben Davies and Bentancur kept them in third place.

With one eye on next week’s vital Champions League clash away in Marseille, Tottenham manager Antonio Conte made several changes to his side and Bournemouth took full advantage.

Moore finished off a flowing move in the 22nd minute when he curled a low shot past Hugo Lloris after a ball in from the right wing by Marcus Tavernier.

Moore then added a second shortly after halftime with a header from Adam Smith’s cross.

Sessegnon was about to be substituted when he popped up to fire home left-footed in the 57th minute and then Davies powered a header in from a corner in the 73rd minute.

Tottenham piled on the pressure and were rewarded in stoppage time when Bentancur, on as a substitute, fired in after a corner was not cleared by the Bournemouth defence.

Tottenham stayed in third place with 26 points from 13 games with Bournemouth on 13 points.

Chance for Bournemouth! Solanke chases after the loose ball once a Spurs defender slips. Lloris spots the danger early enough to race out of his box and clear with his feet.

Son swings in the free-kick, but again the South Korean's delivery isn't the best. The linesman's flag goes up in Bournemouth's favour.

Tottenham resume their dominance as Moore's fine to continue. Senesi boots Emerson's cross out for a throw-in.

Play pauses briefly as Moore receives treatment for a knock he's picked up. It's been an engaging game so far.

Bournemouth go on the attack again. This time the ball ends up with Lloris. Tottenham have yet to win a Premier League game when they've conceded the opening goal away from home this season. This will be a challenge for them.

Bournemouth are finding some momentum. Solanke causes confusion in Tottenham's box as he attacks Billing's cross. Moore's toepoke deflects out off Lenglet for an uneventful corner.
