Set-Piece Specialists Spurs Win From 2-0 Down After Cornering Bournemouth

Tottenham came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Bournemouth on Saturday. Premier League set-piece specialists Spurs won 19 corners and scored from two of them.

Tottenham came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Bournemouth on Saturday.

Bournemouth looked on course for their first win in four games after Kieffer Moore scored twice at the Vitality Stadium.

But Ryan Sessegnon sparked a Spurs comeback 12 minutes into the second half with a precise finish after being set up by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Tottenham were relentless from that point on and Bournemouth were forced to defend wave upon wave of attacks.

This dominance resulted in Spurs winning 19 corner kicks. They scored from their 13th and then their last.

Ben Davies headed in at the far post on 73 minutes from a inswinging cross that evaded keeper Mark Travers.

The winner arrived in the second minute of added time. Bournemouth failed to clear a Son-Heung-min corner and Rodrigo Bentancur swept the loose ball into the net.

Spurs have now scored nine Premier League goals from set-pieces this season - more than any other team.

Antonio Conte was impressed with how his players bounced back from 2-0 down.

"It was great to see the desire of my players and the reaction they had," Conte told BBC Sport.

"Also, the nastiness they put into the pitch because I have seen in the eyes of my players the desire to win this game.

"It was important to win this game. I think we showed good character."
