Who scored in Tottenham vs Bournemouth?
Goal scorers across recent meetings tell a story of comebacks and late drama. In October 2022, Rodrigo Bentancur struck a stoppage-time winner as Spurs came from 2-0 down to beat Bournemouth 3-2 at Vitality Stadium. According to match reports, the Uruguayan timed his run perfectly to meet a cross in the 94th minute.
In the most recent meeting, Bournemouth’s decisive goal came from Semenyo, who reportedly scored in stoppage time to seal the 1-0 home victory. For Tottenham, the lack of a consistent goal threat this season has been telling—Spurs have struggled to convert chances despite dominating possession in several H2H matches.
Goal-scoring patterns
- Tottenham scored in both halves in 30% of H2H matches (FootyStats performance data)
- Bournemouth managed the same feat in just 20% of meetings
- Tottenham’s shot conversion rate stands at 18% versus Bournemouth’s 9%
Bournemouth take more shots per match (13.90 average) than Tottenham (8.70), yet score fewer goals. Their recent 1-0 win over 18th-placed Tottenham reveals the Cherries’ clinical edge when it matters most.
How many times has Bournemouth beaten Tottenham?
Across all 19 documented meetings, AFC Bournemouth have won between 5 and 6 times against Tottenham Hotspur, depending on which match archive you consult. The discrepancy stems from varying interpretations of which competitions count and whether friendly matches are included.
According to 11v11, Tottenham have won 10 of 17 Premier League encounters since 2015, losing 4. Sports Mole records 10 Tottenham wins from 19 total meetings. WorldFootball lists 10 Spurs victories from 19 matches, with Bournemouth winning 6. The most reliable sources cluster around Tottenham winning roughly half of all encounters.
All-time record breakdown
The sources diverge slightly on exact win counts, reflecting different match-capture methodologies.
| Source | Matches | Tottenham Wins | Bournemouth Wins | Draws |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sports Mole H2H database | 19 | 10 | 6 | 3 |
| WorldFootball match records | 19 | 10 | 6 | 3 |
| 11v11 Premier League tally | 17 | 10 | 4 | 3 |
| SoccerPunter comprehensive H2H | 19 | 11 | 5 | 3 |
The implication: Tottenham hold the historical edge, but Bournemouth’s recent wins show the aggregate record masks current form swings.
The most credible sources—those tracking exclusively Premier League matches since 2015—consistently show Tottenham with a clear edge. However, Bournemouth’s recent 1-0 win demonstrates they can upset the odds at Vitality Stadium, where they’ve won five home games this season.
How did Bournemouth beat Tottenham?
The December 2024 result followed a familiar script for Cherries fans. Bournemouth absorbed Tottenham’s possession advantage—the visitors typically command 58–61% of the ball—while waiting for counter-attacking opportunities. Semenyo’s stoppage-time goal punished Spurs’ inability to convert their superiority into clear-cut chances.
Match breakdown: Bournemouth 1-0 Tottenham
- Tottenham possession: approximately 61%
- Bournemouth shots on target: managed the decisive effort count
- The single goal arrived in stoppage time, sealing three points
Sky Sports recorded 61.4% possession for Tottenham against 38.6% for Bournemouth, yet the shot count (5 vs 20) favored the Cherries despite the lower ball share.
Bournemouth’s 7th-place standing reflects their home record. According to form data, the Cherries have won five games at Vitality Stadium this season, making their fortress a genuine problem for visiting clubs regardless of league position disparities.

Tottenham’s dramatic 2022 comeback at Vitality Stadium shows their potential, but the December 2024 defeat proves momentum means nothing without execution. The 94th-minute winner from Bentancur contrasts sharply with Semenyo’s late winner for Bournemouth.
What is the all-time head-to-head record?
The first competitive meeting between these clubs occurred on 16 February 1957, when Bournemouth upset Tottenham 3-1 in an FA Cup tie. Premier League history began on 25 October 2015, with Bournemouth winning only 1 of their first five PL matches against Spurs.

| Shots per match average | 8.70 | 13.90 |
| Shot conversion rate | 18% | 9% |
| Possession (recent matches) | 58–61% | 39–42% |
