Nathan Ake’s injury-time goal for Bournemouth left nine-man Tottenham’s Champions League hopes in doubt on Saturday.
Heung-Min Son and Juan Foyth were shown red cards on either side of half-time by referee Craig Pawson.

Nathan Ake broke Tottenham hearts in the 91st minute
Son was given his marching orders for shoving Jefferson Lerma to the ground on 43 minutes before half-time substitute Foyth was sent off just three minutes after coming on for a dangerous tackle on Jack Simpson.
With a two-man advantage, Bournemouth piled on the pressure, and were rewarded when Ake headed in Ryan Fraser’s corner in the 91st minute.
A win would have secured Champions League football for a fourth successive season for Tottenham, however, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United can now close the gap on Mauricio Pochettino’s men.
It means Spurs are likely to have to beat Everton in their final game next Sunday to be guaranteed a fourth successive year of Champions League football, unless Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United all lose this weekend.

Heung-min Son will miss the Everton game next weekend
It looked like rookie Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers was going to be the story of the game as he produced several fine saves on his Premier League debut as Spurs should have had the game wrapped up before their indiscipline.
Pochettino’s team selection made it clear that he was not wanting their top-four fate to go down to the final day and a strong side made a dominant start.
Lucas Moura nearly gave teenage goalkeeper Travers a Premier League debut to forget, but his shot from the halfway line flew just wide, while the Brazilian also headed over.
It soon turned into more of a dream debut for Travers as he single-handedly kept the Cherries in the game in the first-half with a string of saves that shows exactly why he is thought so highly of.
First he denied Dele Alli’s powerful shot with a strong parried save, then produced a flying stop to turn Moura’s effort over.
His feet kept another Moura shot out before more acrobatics saw him tip an Alli header over the bar.

Juan Foyth joined Heung-Min Son in the dressing room just three minutes after the restart
Either side of those saves, Son should have scored after he waltzed through the defence but fired over.
Spurs were lucky to have 11 men on the pitch when Eric Dier, already booked, went through the back of Joshua King, but they did not get to the half-time whistle with a full complement of players as Son was dismissed in the 43rd minute.
The 26-year-old reacted angrily to Lerma trying to retrieve the ball and pushed his opponent over.
Pawson immediately brandished the red card and he had it out again shortly after the restart as Spurs’ afternoon got even worse.
Foyth joined Son in the dressing room when he overran the ball and went through with a foot raised on Simpson.

Bournemouth had plenty of the ball but they struggled to create any clear-cut chances.
Callum Wilson had a curling effort deflected and then glanced wide before their big chance came in the 79th minute when Lys Mousset headed straight at Lloris.
That did not prove too costly as in time added on Ake lost his marker and headed into the bottom corner.
