Teenage defender Dean Huijsen made history as Bournemouth’s youngest Premier League goalscorer, heading the Cherries to a 1-0 victory over Tottenham at the Vitality Stadium.
The 19-year-old’s 17th-minute goal from Marcus Tavernier’s corner proved decisive, marking another impressive result for Andoni Iraola’s side, who recently upset Arsenal and Manchester City at home.

While Spurs controlled possession, Bournemouth looked sharper on the counter. Tavernier had a goal disallowed for offside and later came close with a header, while Evanilson’s late effort was also ruled out. Ryan Christie struck the post, and Dango Ouattara missed a golden chance, keeping the match tense until the final whistle.
Tottenham, fresh off a dominant 4-0 win over Manchester City in their last away game, failed to capitalize on their opportunities. Substitutes Son Heung-min and Pedro Porro tried to inject energy into Spurs’ attack but couldn’t break through Bournemouth’s defense.
The win lifts Bournemouth above Spurs into ninth place, while Ange Postecoglou’s side faces questions about their consistency in an up-and-down season.
