Heung-Min Son runs the ball back to the halfway line after scoring Spurs' equaliser from the penalty spot
Heung-Min Son scored a late penalty to salvage a point for Tottenham against Bournemouth in a 2-2 draw after he was fouled by Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Spurs could have been a goal down inside 20 seconds when the returning Cristian Romero presented Evanilson with a glorious opportunity but Guglielmo Vicario made a smart stop.
The goal eventually came just before the break when Milos Kerkez flew down the flank and delivered a sensational cross that was swept home by Marcus Tavernier.
Justin Kluivert thought he had doubled the lead on 52 minutes but VAR spotted a clear offside on Antonine Semenyo. However, Andoni Iraola's fluent side grabbed the second goal when Evanilson clipped home a lovely finish.

The home crowd were getting restless with their team but the response came, albeit in fortunate circumstances, when Pape Sarr's overhit cross looped over Kepa and into the top corner.
Son then grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck, drawing a needless foul from Kepa inside the area when there was little danger on. The South Korean stepped up and cheekily dispatched the penalty.
