Maddison strikes as Spurs beat Bournemouth to stay unbeaten

Tottenham continued their unbeaten start under new head coach Ange Postecoglou with a deserved 2-0 win over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

James Maddison was fit to play after suffering an ankle injury during last weekend's victory over Manchester United, and it was the England international who gave Spurs the lead in the 17th minute when he turned in Pape Sarr's precise through ball to end a fine passing move.

Maddison was outstanding throughout and could have put the visitors in front just minutes before his opener had it not been for Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto, whose initial mistake gave Tottenham possession before he made amends by saving the playmaker's low strike.
