Maddison immediately influenced the game, setting up Sarr for a brilliant chance and playing the pass that led to Son winning the penalty. citeturn0search0 - Micky van de Ven (61′ for Romero): 7/10
Van de Ven’s return gave the stadium a lift, though Evanilson managed to escape behind him for Bournemouth’s second goal. citeturn0search0 - Destiny Udogie (87′ for Porro): 6/10
Udogie provided stability in the final minutes, ensuring Spurs saw out the game without further scares. citeturn0search0
