Tottenham Salvage Draw Against Bournemouth but Face Europa League Pressure

A chaotic 2-2 comeback highlights Spurs' struggles as they prepare to overturn a deficit in Thursday's Europa League clash with AZ Alkmaar.

Tottenham fought back from 2-0 down to secure a draw against Bournemouth, with goals from Pape Matar Sarr and a late penalty by Son Heung-min.
Bournemouth dominated large portions of the match, with goals from Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson, but missed opportunities cost them a crucial victory in their push for European qualification.
Spurs' defensive errors, particularly from returning players Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro, highlighted ongoing issues with ball retention and composure under pressure.
Manager Ange Postecoglou acknowledged the team's sloppiness and emphasized the need for improvement ahead of Thursday's must-win Europa League second-leg match against AZ Alkmaar, where they trail 1-0.
Bournemouth, currently eighth in the Premier League, rued their lack of ruthlessness, which has hindered their recent push for a top-four finish.
