Tottenham Hotspur fought back to beat Bournemouth 3-2 on the road on Saturday, overcoming a 2-0 deficit in the first half to take three points.
Ryan Sessegnon, Ben Davies and Rodrigo Bentancur provided the goals for Spurs, canceling out a brace from Bournemouth’s Kieffer Moore.
Bentancur secured the win in the second minute of stoppage time, pouncing on a crucial loose ball after coming on as a substitute.
Speaking after the game, Tottenham manager Antonio Conte said the win was “vital” for the squad going into their final Champions League group stage game against Marseille on Wednesday.
"It was great to see the desire of my players and the reaction they had," said Conte. "It was important to win this game. I think we showed good character."
Son Heung-min played the full 90 minutes on Saturday. Following the game, Son thanked fans on Instagram and paid his respects to the people that died in Itaewon on Saturday night.
