Giovani Lo Celso returned to the side and produced a match-winning display as Tottenham staggered over the line to earn a scrappy and hard-fought 3-1 win over Bournemouth, which moved them to within a point of fourth-placed Arsenal.
An exhausted and depleted Spurs finished the game a man down after one of their five subs, Alejo Veliz, was the latest of Ange Postecoglou's squad to succumb to injury and with a patched-up team on the field, including Emerson Royal, Ben Davies, Eric Dier, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp and Bryan Gil.
