Pochettino makes a double-change at half-time, with the reckless Dier being replaced by Wanyama in the first substitution.

Pochettino will have to calm his side down at the break. Their aggression levels have bubbled over and Dier in particular looks to be out of control. Son’s sending-off has changed the complexion of the game, and Spurs face an uphill battle to secure their top-four spot today.

And breathe! What a first half! Debutant Bournemouth goalkeeper Travers – having almost been lobbed early on – has produced a string of fine saves to keep Tottenham out, and Son was sent off late in the half for a shove on Lerma. It’s been an end-to-end affair and Spurs are lucky not to be down to nine men, with Dier – already on a yellow – producing two further challenges worthy of a booking, one of which was in the penalty area! Somehow, it’s still 0-0 at the break.
