Tottenham Hotspur come back to beat Bournemouth, Newcastle thrash Aston Villa, Wolves remain in drop zone
Tottenham came back from two goals down before claiming an incredible 3-2 win against Bournemouth.
Spurs boss Antonio Conte made several changes to the side that endured Champions League heartbreak earlier in the week, and it was looking like they would drop points once again until they turned the match around.
Bournemouth were rewarded for their strong start to the game with a great counter attack as Dominic Solanke found Marcus Tavernier, who picked out Kieffer Moore in the middle to slot the ball into the bottom corner.
