Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face AFC Bournemouth today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.

The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.

Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Tottenham Hotspur vs AFC Bournemouth

It’s all over here at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Bournemouth beat Spurs by one-goal-to-nil. The away side started off perfectly from their side, as Evanilson’s deflected effort beat Vicario in net and gave them the lead after five minutes. Evanilson had a chance to double the lead just two minutes later, when he found space on the edge of the area but dragged his shot wide of the post. Bournemouth should have made it two after 51 minutes – Vicario saving from close range from Evanilson, followed by Brooks hitting the crossbar. Tottenham’s best chance was perhaps in the last minute of the game. Udogie got on the end of a free-kick, however his header glanced wide. Tottenham struggled all match; they didn’t even record a shot in the first half. They ended with an xG of 0.17 – Bournemouth with 1.45xG. Bournemouth also recorded 19 shots, whereas Tottenham with only five. The only negative for Iraola would have to be Smith coming off early in the game, in what looked to be a hamstring issue. Frank will have many questions as to how his side played today, especially after a strong start to the campaign. Tottenham must look ahead now to their next fixture, a trip to London rivals West Ham. The Cherries are at home to fellow seaside club Brighton. That is all from me. Thank you all for tuning in and have a good rest of your day!

Truffert does excellently to bring the ball forward for Bournemouth, before eventually winning a freekick as Spence brings him down in Spurs’ half.

Bergvall goes on a fantastic run, looking as if he is going to hit the trigger numerous times, he eventually finds Kudus, who’s cross is swallowed up by Petrovic.
