STAR PLAYER
Harry Kane: On any other afternoon Eriksen's sublime display would have meant he would walk any poll for star player. But Kane's hat-trick, coming after such a barren run for the England forward, just edges out his team-mate.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
Artur Boruc: Hard to select which of the Polish goalkeeper's clangers deserve to be highlighted here but his first fumble proved costly, gifting Lamela Tottenham's third goal and taking the game away from the hosts.
VIEW FROM THE BENCH
Eddie Howe opted to recall Boruc after he was injured in the warm-up at Man City last week and he will be regretting that decision this evening. For Mauricio Pochettino, his decision to start Kane having rested the striker for the Europa League defeat at Anderlecht, was vindicated. Dembele was also impressive in a more advanced role.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
Bournemouth have drawn plenty of plaudits for their style of football since gaining promotion to the Premier League but even the very best sides would struggle for results with such a shaky goalkeeper.
WHO'S UP NEXT
Liverpool v Bournemouth (Carling Cup fourth round, Wednesday October 28).
Tottenham v Aston Villa (Premier League, Sunday November 2).
