Maybe the luck of Angel Postcoglou is on the Tour because Tottenham emerged with a point of a game they should have lost.
A certain credit is due to the spirit of the response, but Bournemouth was two goals and the Spurs slipped to another defeat when Pape Matar Sarr brought them back in with a cross of mishit which slipped out of the post.
The equalizer was a penalty in the 84th minute, won and marked by Heung-Min Son, who could not wait to fall when Kepa Arrizabalaga came out of his goal.
It was a bad decision by Bournemouth goalkeeper, an error of judgment to think that he could beat his for a pass from James Maddison, and that cost his team.
For Spurs, a point is not much to increase its position in the Premier League. They only won six points in their last 10 home games, but after the disappointment of defeat in Europe, it offers a little hope of a recovery with key players that return.
The Spurs took a terrible start and had the chance not to be a goal after 18 seconds. Cristian Romero, without pressure, made a side pass to Evanilson, who was specific to the goal but unable to produce a finish with enough punch to beat Guglielmo Vicario.
Romero was one of the six modifications made by PostCoglou to the team that lost against AZ in Alkmaar on Thursday, captain during the day and his name attracted the greatest joy when the teams were announced before kick -off.
But half of the center of Argentina has started a lot as someone with only 15 minutes of competitive football in the past four months while he was trying to spend the ball out of defense. He launched Yves Bissouma in difficulty, deeply in the midfield. The bad touch of Bissouma did not help, and Ryan Christie jumped to win the ball and release Patrick Kluivert.
For the second time in the first four minutes, Vicario was confronted with one by one. This time, he saved with his legs and went back to his feet to prevent a head of Tavernier when Bournemouth threw another cross.
Romero and Bissouma were not the only white players guilty of errors in possession, but they suffered in the middle of a swirling opening of visitors.
Without a mid -week match, the Iraola team was clearer, bristling with energy and assault, content to let the Spurs have the ball and spring traps.
Tottenham survived early pressure and grew up in the game, but the more they ventured forward, the more it was vulnerable to the Bournemouth blooming counterattack.
The opening goal occurred when Milos Kerkez intercepted an reckless pass of Pedro Porro and came out of defense.
Kerkez transported the ball at high speed through the half-chemin line and delivered a spectacular cross on the wide race on the left, which caused chaos in the defense of the Spurs.
He kicked out and plunged, could not be reached by Kevin Danso, who tried to go clearly, and seemed to enter Djed Spence, who lost his man, Tavernier, who slipped to the rear post to convert to the half-volley.
At halftime, the Spurs were hooked in the tunnel where Postcoglou made two modifications, sending his son and Lucas Bergvall.
Immediately, the home team had more petile in the future, but remained fragile in the back.
Justin Kluivert found the net at the end of another scanning counterattack only to find the purpose excluded for offshore against Antoine Semenyo as movement progressed.
Its saw a brand by tearing a low shot deviated on a post before the second dive of Bournemouth, marked by Evanilson with a dink treated on the dive of Vicario after another strong race on the left by Kerkez and a disguised pass of Kluivert.
Bergvall also beat a low shot in a pole of 25 yards and Sarr reduced the deficit with what seemed to be a crossover crossing of the right which derived on Kepa Arrizabalaga and in the net out of the distant post.
There was a certain irony of the fact that the goal had finally come from someone who did not try to score, but at least the Spurs were back in the competition, and that could have swinged in both cases in a frantic period.
Evanilson almost punished Vicario for a bad touch and Kluivert hit a post, but it was a son who snatched a point from the place.
