Fraser - who has created chance after chance - finally gets the assist he deserves as his well-taken corner is powered home.
89'
CHANCE! How have Bournemouth not scored?! The corner is taken short and Fraser sends it into the middle. Mousset flicks it goalwards but Wilson can't force it home from close range and Ake's effort is blocked behind for another corner!
88'
Bournemouth look frustrated. They just don't look like breaking Spurs down and haven't created anything of note in the last 10 minutes or so.
86'
Nine-man Spurs have ventured bravely forward now and are looking to snatch an unlikely winner. They could find themselves caught out at the back, however.

Description
76'
L. Mousset enters the game and replaces J. Ibe.
Howe throws French striker Mousset on for a winger in Ibe. He needs a cutting edge now to make the most of their numerical advantage.
75'
There's an altercation between Lerma and Rose as the Bournemouth player tries to wrestle the ball from his counterpart. The referee talks to all involved and issues a word of warning.
68'
MISS! The corner is headed out as far as Smith, but the full-back lashes his effort harmlessly over the bar. What a waste.
66'
Spurs make a rare foray into Bournemouth territory as they get a foot on the ball. They have to be careful not to leave themselves exposed.
64'
Fraser earns another corner down the left but, just as before, the Cherries give away a foul in the middle and waste the opportunity.
62'
Bournemouth win a corner, but they haven't yet looked like making the most of their numerical advantage. It's been a bit flat since the second sending-off. The set-piece comes to nothing as a foul is given Tottenham's way.
60'
Ibe is having a go down the right but he's not been able to get the better of Sissoko or Rose just yet.
58'
Bournemouth have Spurs penned inside their own area. Lerma stands a cross up to the back post but it's too long and Fraser retrieves it. It comes back in but it's overhit again and drifts behind for a goal-kick.
56'
SAVE! Ake plays it wide to Fraser on the left side of the box. The winger curls a low effort at goal with his first touch but it's a little tame and Lloris can gather.
53'
A couple of fouls spoil the momentum of the game from both sides. It's very open now, and Spurs need to prevent the hosts from building up a head of steam.
51'
Bournemouth are in control now. Sissoko has dropped in alongside Sanchez at centre-back, leaving Wanyama, Eriksen and Alli in midfield and Lucas up front on his own.
49'
Ake has gone down and receives some treatment on the halfway line. A chance for Tottenham to regroup, perhaps.
48'
J. Foyth goes off after a red card!

46'
V. Wanyama enters the game and replaces E. Dier.
J. Foyth enters the game and replaces T. Alderweireld.
Pochettino makes a double-change at half-time, with the reckless Dier being replaced by Wanyama in the first substitution.

We're off again for the second half!
45' +3
HALF-TIME: BOURNEMOUTH 0-0 TOTTENHAM
45'
MISS! Wilson meets Fraser's cross in the box but can only loop his header high over the bar! Bournemouth have a real opportunity now.
43'
Son Heung-Min goes off after a red card!
RED CARD! Son is off! Fraser fouls him but Lerma comes in late after the whistle has gone and tries to nick the ball. He's furious and shoves the Bournemouth midfielder to the ground, and is shown a straight red card! Spurs down to 10 men!
40'
M. Sissoko gets yellow.
Ake chests the ball cleverly past Sissoko and the midfielder drags him back in midfield, picking up the third yellow card of the game.
28'
BLOCK! Eriksen then has an effort from outside the box after receiving the ball from Rose, but it's blocked away. Tottenham starting to ramp up the pressure now.

23'
T. Alderweireld gets yellow.
The move breaks down on the edge of the Bournemouth box and King charges down the left to lead a counter-attack. Alderweireld gets across and chops King down, earning himself a yellow card.
21'
Spurs have set up camp on the edge of the Bournemouth area and are passing it around sharply. There's no penetration as yet, however, and the Cherries keep their shape well.
17'
Cook appears to be struggling with an injury. He's playing on at the moment but doesn't look to be moving freely. That's a concern for Bournemouth.
13'
OFFSIDE! Trippier is set up for a first-time cross that he lofts into the box. Lucas meets it with his head but can only direct it wide and the flag is up against the forward anyway, who was fractionally offside.
11'
E. Dier gets yellow.
Dier lunges in late on Fraser as he charges through the middle and picks up a deserved yellow card.
7'
Trippier tries to play a one-two with Sissoko and get down the line, but he hasn't got the legs to get on the end of the return ball and it just drifts out of play.
5'
Trippier plays it forward down the right for Lucas, but the Brazilian had just strayed offside.
3'
Son then returns the favour, pressing Cook as he received the ball in his own half. The Cherries skipper seemed unaware of the forward's presence and hacks clear in a panic after seeing him.
2'
Bournemouth start positively as Lerma presses Son in the Spurs half and earns a throw-in. It's worked high into the box but Trippier manages to head clear at the back post.
1'
