But a misplaced pass in the home half is punished as Bournemouth race forward on the counter.

Spurs are edging possession now, patiently playing the ball around in the Bournemouth half as they try to pull apart their hosts.

Travers looks like he is brimming with confidence, his saves are great but he looks like he wants the ball, he looks comfortable on it.

Lucas Moura 0 Mark Travers 3.

After that speculative effort wide and a header over the bar, Moura finally hits the target. But it is too central and Travers is able to acrobatically push over his own bar.

Looks like a couple of injury concerns for the home side. Ryan Fraser was struggling a touch after getting that whack from Eric Dier, while skipper Steve Cook is hobbling around a little.

Spurs are clearly trying to unsettle the young Bournemouth keeper, Lucas Moura gamely chasing down a pass back to Mark Travers. No problem, no panic.

...and the corner is nowhere near Travers. Bournemouth head clear and the young keeper puffs out his chest... solid start.

It was almost lazy how Alli did that drag back, he took two players out completely. It is the first brilliant thing he has done today.

Forget packets of chewable tablets from your local pharmacy, this is the only stomach-settler which Mark Travers needs.

Dele Alli has a pop from distance, the Cherries keeper dives to his right to push clear.

Now a corner to deal with...

Having sprung a few surprises with his starting line-up, Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has sprung a few more with the formation.

The full-backs are on opposite sides to how we expected, with Nathaniel Clyne on the left and Adam Smith on the right. Nathan Ake is in central midfield, Ryan Fraser wide right, Joshua King wide left and Jordon Ibe playing just off Callum Wilson down the middle.

The Spurs fans in the East Stand won't see much of Son Heung-min in this first half, he's very much hugging the nearside touchline on the Spurs left - diagonally opposite from the away fans.

Ryan Fraser goes for goal... Hugo Lloris watches it whistle past his left-hand post.

Eric Dier completely missed the tackle there. It was not good, being on a yellow card in that position this early on is not good.

One for your Premier League bingo. Eric Dier mistimes a tackle and receives a yellow card.

Ryan Fraser is the man cleaned out as he scuttles forward in a central position.

The Scot will take the free-kick, 30 yards out...

Travers is about 22 yards out when the ball is lost. You feel sorry for him, that would not have been his fault, they lost the ball unexpectedly in the midfield there.

I am watching him again and he is miles out of his goal. This is a small pitch it is not hard to score from there.

Travers absolutely believes he wants to take part in this game like a sweeper-keeper.

Test him! Lucas Moura tries to catch out teenage keeper Mark Travers with a cheeky punt from the halfway line.

Nathaniel Clyne might want to avoid eye contact with Steve Cook when the ball next goes out.

The full-back's sloppy pass nearly puts in Son Heung-min, but Cook recovers the situation with a last-ditch sliding tackle. The hairdryer will be coming out...

There is a gap of 19 years and 87 days between the ages of the last two goalkeepers to start for Bournemouth in a Premier League match, Artur Boruc and Mark Travers.

Travers has not had a touch yet...

Talking of pace, Bournemouth aren't short of it.

Ryan Fraser tries to link up again with Callum Wilson, a pair who have combined 12 times this season - that's one short of the all-time Premier League record.

Another today will see them equal the record set by Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton for Blackburn in the 1994-95 campaign.
