Tempers flared during Tottenham’s 3-1 win against Bournemouth, with a heated exchange between the coaching staff.
Tottenham bounced back from their previous 4-2 defeat to Brighton with goals from Pape Matar Sarr, Heung-min Son, and Richarlison.
Despite securing a crucial win, the match was not without its controversies.
Late in the game, Bournemouth’s Alejo Veliz suffered an injury, prompting Tottenham’s manager Ange Postecoglou and player Giovani Lo Celso to signal for him to receive treatment.
This action seemed to have provoked a reaction from a member of the Bournemouth coaching staff, leading to a confrontation on the touchline.
The situation escalated further when Bournemouth’s manager, Andoni Iraola, intervened and appeared to push his colleague aside during the altercation.
The incident resulted in heated arguments between the two teams, with Postecoglou and Lo Celso receiving bookings.
Despite the off-field drama, Tottenham managed to maintain their focus and secure the win, ending the year on a high note.
