AFC Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
Maddison's first goal for Spurs gives them a 1-0 lead over Bournemouth at half-time. He'd already had one shot well-saved by Neto early on, but he was alert and timed his run perfectly to get on the end of Sarr's throughball to help it into the back of the net to give Spurs the lead. Richarlison could've added to the lead but squandered a big chance. Billing almost levelled things on the stroke of half-time, but he whipped his shot just wide of the far post.

WIDE! Billing wins it back in the centre circle and switches it out to Kluivert on the left. He drives to the edge of the box before squaring it to Billing, who tries to curl it into the far post, but it flashes just wide.

Maddison has been involved in 18 goals in his last 20 away Premier League appearances (nine goals, nine assists), scoring one and assisting two in two away games for Spurs.

Richarlison has a free run down the right, but Kelly rushes across and slides in to stop him. He's late with the tackle though, and he's shown the first booking of the game.

Maddison nicks it back in midfield once more and he spots Porro's run off the back of Christie. He plays a wonderful throughball into the box, but the full-back can't reach it on the stretch.

Rothwell's latest corner is flicked away at the near post, but Christie keeps it alive on the far side. It's clipped back into the box by Zabarnyi, with Kelly flicking it on, but Billing's path is blocked by Van de Ven.

GOOD SAVE! Semenyo brilliantly wins it back off Bissouma and touches it through to Christie. The space opens up for him so he puts his laces through it from distance, and Vicario has to stretch to tip it away.

Maddison nicks the ball off Aarons and is then rugby tackled by the full-back so he can't get into the box. He steps up to the free-kick near the left byline and he whips it to Richarlison at the far post, but he heads it into the side netting.
