    Tottenham 3-1 Bournemouth

    How's he missed!?!

    Son Heung-min plays a beautifully weighted ball through to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

    His dinked cross is straight on the head of Bryan Gil but he heads it against the bar from four yards out.

  2. Postpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 3-1 Bournemouth

    Scott sent that message before Alex Scott's goal, we promise!

    There's about five minutes of normal time plus stoppage time remaining in north London.

    Are we going to have late drama?

  3. ADDED TIMEpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    Arsenal have five extra minutes to find a goal or preferably two.

    How are we 3-0? Bournemouth should have scored a bucket load today. Not complaining too much mind.

    As an Arsenal fan I've got to be honest, I don't think we've played very well all season. Teams don't seem to have to do too much to score against us yet we struggle massively to score. Poor. Arteta needs to sort it out.

    Calvin Bassey clears again for Fulham.

    Player of the match?

    GOAL - Tottenham 3-1 Bournemouthpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Alex Scott

    Lovely goal.

    A lovely passing move by Bournemouth sees Marcus Tavernier in down the left.

    He cuts back for Alex Scott, who sweeps home for his first Premier League goal.

    Now Arsenal have a corner up the other end...

    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I think Gabriel was just on the cover enough to warrant a yellow card for Saliba. There wasn't a glaring error there from the referee.

  10. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    That would have wrapped it up!

    Andreas Pereira smashes a free-kick off David Raya's crossbar.

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    William Saliba

    Harry Wilson is desperately hauled down as he looks to go through on goal. William Saliba gets a yellow from the referee but the crowd and Fulham's players want more.

    "V-A-R, V-A-R!" chant the home fans but they're not going to get their wish.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 3-0 Bournemouth

    Changes galore as Spurs make a triple switch.

    Off: Richarlison, Brennan Johnson and Giovani Lo Celso

    On: Bryan Gil, Alejo Veliz and Eric Dier

  13. Postpublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    Gabriel Jesus is defending by the corner flag in his own right-back position.

    I don't think that was Mikel Arteta's plan when he sent him on.

    Only five minutes remain now.

  14. goal

    GOAL - Tottenham 3-0 Bournemouthpublished at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Richarlison

    Game over.

    Brennan Johnson spins in behind the Bournemouth defence and then plays a superb ball into the middle.

    Richarlison is waiting and sweeps home for his sixth Premier League goal of the season.

    There's that little bit of quality.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 2-0 Bournemouth

    Marcos Senesi goes into the book for a cynical body check on Giovani Lo Celso.

    Moments before Guglielmo Vicario did really well in the Spurs goal to tip away a low cross.

  16. Postpublished at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    Arsenal cannot get the ball up the field.

    It is Fulham who win a corner...

  17. Postpublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 2-0 Bournemouth

    Richarlison has really lacked that little bit of quality in the final third tonight.

    He's found by Son Heung-min but then his through ball to Destiny Udogie has far too much on it.

  18. Postpublished at 15:42 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    Arsenal have had one shot on target since Bukayo Saka scored inside the first five minutes.

    Joao Palhinha does brilliantly to block an effort from Saka here.

  19. CLOSE!published at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

    Sound the Arsenal need a clinical striker klaxon...

    Leandro Trossard curls in a perfect cross from the left but neither Gabriel Jesus or centre-back Gabriel can get there to convert.

    10 minutes to go.

  20. Postpublished at 15:40 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2023

    Tottenham 2-0 Bournemouth

    Ange Postecoglou just stands ruefully on the touchline, hands in pockets.

    The camera pans to a number of Spurs' injured and suspended players in the stands.

    Destiny Udogie is back on and fine to continue, for the time being at least.
