Tottenham boss Thomas Frank, speaking to BBC MOTD: “That’s football unfortunately. It’s extremely painful to be on the Tottenham side after the game. We put everything into the game, the boys worked really hard, the staff worked hard to come down here and try to get a result.
"We went 1-0 up, conceded two second-phase goals – especially the second one, we have to do much better. Then in the second half, the character and mentality, the focus to stay in the game and keep going against a difficult counter-attacking team, was very pleasing to see.
"I thought we were closer to winning than Bournemouth were.”
On the penalty that was awarded to Tottenham and then overturned: “I think it was a 50-50 situation.”
On the January transfer window: “We are very much in the market and working very hard to do what we can to improve the squad. January is a tough window and we only want to get players in if they improve the team.”

- For the fourth time since the start of 2025, Tottenham scored first in a Premier League game but still trailed at half-time – that is as often as it happened to Spurs between 2010 and 2024.
- Since the start of last season, only Wolves (36) have suffered more Premier League defeats than Tottenham (30 – level with West Ham and Southampton).
