Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola speaks about naming Manchester City-bound Antoine Semenyo in his starting XI

"I think he has performed really well and he will give everything I have no doubt," he said.

And we are away in the six PL matches with two set to kick-off later.

Fulham start a great move from back to front and ends with Harry Wilson, who produces a tame effort as Davison Sanchez saves.

Mathys Tel has given Spurs the lead at Bournemouth and the Cherries have a lot of work to do in these early exchanges.

Bournemouth 0-1 Tottenham

Just as Semenyo, there are rumours of Crystal Palace willing to accept bids for wantaway defender Marc Guehi. With Man City injury-prone at the back, Guehi's arrival will really shore up their defence.

A goal at the weekend and now again tonight, Evanilson is in red-hot form as he levels for the hosts against Tottenham. Game on at the Vitality Stadium!

Premier League match centre via X: "The referee’s call of free-kick to Fulham and a red card to Cucurella for denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO) was checked and confirmed by VAR - with it deemed that Cucurella committed a holding offence that did not continue into the penalty area."

After going down early, Bournemouth have taken the lead in the game against Spurs via Kroupi. Thomas Frank cannot believe it as he watches from the stands. TOT fans will be calling for his head if the score stays this way at FT.

Bournemouth 2-1 Tottenham

Jeremy Doku is tumbled inside the box by Diego Gomez but after a brief VAR check, the ref points to the spot. Erling Haaland makes no mistake as he sends the BHA keeper the wrong way.
