Another upset at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth secured a 1-0 victory over Tottenham, adding to their list of top Premier League scalps this season. Dean Huijsen capitalized on Tottenham's vulnerability at set pieces, heading home the winning goal in the 17th minute. The defeat left Spurs fans visibly frustrated, with some directing their disappointment towards manager Ange Postecoglou.
Bournemouth's triumph saw them climb to ninth in the standings, one point above Tottenham. The Cherries have shown a knack for surprising high-profile visitors, with wins over Manchester City and Arsenal earlier in the season.
For Tottenham, it was their sixth loss of the campaign, highlighting the inconsistency plaguing their season. Despite notable victories against Manchester United and Manchester City, their away form has been concerning, with four losses and a draw against relegation candidates Leicester.
Postecoglou acknowledged his team's struggles, particularly with defending set plays. This weakness was evident once again as Huijsen found the net from a corner, compounding Spurs' woes.
Meanwhile, Fulham secured a 3-1 win over Brighton, with Alex Iwobi starring with a brace. Iwobi opened the scoring early in the fourth minute and sealed the victory with a well-taken goal in the 87th minute. Brighton briefly equalized through Carlos Baleba, but an own goal from Matt O'Riley tilted the game in Fulham's favor.
The win propelled Fulham to sixth in the standings, just one point behind Brighton. The result underlined Fulham's strong form and their ambitions in the league.
