Mourinho's Tottenham move to 5th on the Premier league following victory over  Bournemouth

Tottenham vs Bournemouth ended 3-2 in Jose Mourinho first Premier League home game in charge.

Dele Alli bagged a brace while Moussa Sissoko added the third but Harry Wilson scored from a set-piece and added another at the death.

It was the visitors who were asking the questions early on as Diego Rico forced fine save from Paulo Gazzaniga.

But it was Alli who scored the first after a lovely assist from Son Heung-min to make it 1-0 for Spurs.

Davidson Sanchez thought he had doubled the advantage after a Moussa Sissoko's shot fell kindly into his path as he tucked the ball home but VAR disallowed it for a handball.

Later on, Steve Cook's hand-ball was overlooked by the referee for a penalty despite consulting the VAR as Mourinho's men headed into the break with a 1-0 lead.

Five minutes after the restart, Alli got his brace as he latched on to a long ball from Toby Alderweireld to apply a superb finish to make it 2-0.

The England midfielder should have completed his hat-trick as he had time and space to shoot but he could not keep his shot down as it went off target.

Alli completed his five-star performance as he provided the assist that helped Sissoko score Tottenham's third goal to make it 3-0.

Wilson pulled one back with a splendid free-kick in the 73rd minute to make it 3-1 and record his fifth goal in the Premier League this season.

The Welshman scored his brace to make it 3-2 but Spurs held on for the win to earn all three points.
