Tottenham lost 1-0 at home to Bournemouth after Evanilson scored in the fifth minute when his strike deflected and looped in. That goal was the first conceded in the league under Thomas Frank. Spurs struggled to create chances, producing only 0.17 expected goals and registering no first-half shots, with their clearest opportunity arriving in second-half injury time when Destiny Udogie headed wide. Bournemouth had further chances missed by Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson, while David Brooks hit the crossbar. Bournemouth have now won consecutive league matches and sit on six points from three games.
Tottenham's winning start to the 2025-26 Premier League campaign came to an end as they fell to a 1-0 home defeat to Bournemouth. Evanilson silenced the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the fifth minute when his strike took a fortuitous deflection and looped in. That marked the first time Spurs have conceded in the league under Thomas Frank, but they struggled to test the visitors despite having well over 90 minutes, including stoppage, to play with.
Seven of Evanilson's eight Premier League goals away from home have been decisive, with four putting Bournemouth in front and three bringing them level. The Cherries have lost only one of those matches (W2 D5). Overall, eight of Evanilson's 11 league goals for Bournemouth have been scored on the road (73%), including seven of his last eight - all of which came in London.
Meanwhile, Spurs, who accumulated only 0.17 expected goals throughout, failed to register a single first-half shot in a Premier League home game for the first time since February 2020, against Manchester City. It was also just the second occasion in which a Frank side has recorded no efforts before half-time in the competition, the other being Brentford's match against Newcastle United in February 2022.
