Tottenham boss blames 'easy goals' for defeat to Bournemouth

Tottenham interim boss Cristian Stellini hits at his team's defending which he believes allowed Bournemouth to score easy goals in their loss to the Cherries. 

Bournemouth beat Tottenham 3-2 in a thrilling Saturday afternoon Premier League encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, casting doubt on Tottenham's top four chances.  

The hosts went ahead first in the 14th minute of the game thanks to a Heung-min Son strike off an Ivan Perisic assist.

The visitors pulled the game level in the 38th minute after Matias Vina got on the end of a Dominic Solanke assist. The English striker went from provider to scorer to put his team ahead in the 51st minute of the game.  

Arnaut Danjuma thought he snatched a late point for Spurs in the 88th minute of the game before Dango Ouattara finished off a sweeping counter-attacking move in the 95th minute, earning all three points for the gutsy visitors. 

The caretaker manager was speaking to the BBC's MOTD when he analysed his team's loss today. 

Stellini believes his team gave their all on the day, but thought the first two goals they conceded in the game were cheap and could have been easily avoided. 

Tottenham travel to St. James's Park in their next Premier League game when they face Newcastle in what is effectively a six-pointer for the top four places.
