Tottenham could not have done better than a poor goalless draw (0-0) with relegated Bournemouth on Thursday for the 34th day of the Premier League. With 49 points and 9th place, the London club is six units behind Manchester United, 5th and last virtual qualifier for Europe. Bournemouth, who had not taken any points since the resumption of the championship, temporarily overtakes Villa in 18th place and returns 3 lengths from Watford (17th) and West Ham (16th). The least we can say is that the Cherries did not really tremble, the Spurs did not frame a shot of the match.
Lloris saves in stoppage time
José Mourinho may have thrown at the start of the second act Tanguy Ndombele, with whom it is said to be angry, the offensive encephalogram remained hopelessly flat on the Tottenham side. The Spurs even touched the correctional when the victorious return of Callum Wilson was finally canceled because the ball had brushed the hand of Joshua King before entering the goal (90th). In 12 minutes of added time, Hugo Lloris avoided a humiliating defeat to his own by a great outing to repel the stung ball from Harry Wilson who appeared alone in front of him (90 + 6). But if, mathematically, Europe remains possible, it is difficult to detect, among these Spurs, the spark that would allow them to force destiny. In the other match of the early evening, Everton and Southampton also neutralized (1-1), the Brazilian Richarlison answering for the Toffees, just before half time (44th), at the opening of the score by Danny Ings (31st). In the standings, the two teams retain their 11th and 12th respective places. But the goal of Danny Ings, his 19th of the season, allows him to climb to 3rd place in the scorer ranking, tied with Mohamed Salah and three units behind the leader, Jamie Vardy (Leicester).
