Mauricio Pochettino's side put on a consummate attacking performance
as they bettered their 2015-16 points total and equalled the record
winning streak set by the likes of Jimmy Greaves, Terry Venables and
Dave Mackay in the Spurs team of 1967.
The victory, which came courtesy of first-half goals from Mousa
Dembele and Son Heung-min and second-half strikes by Harry Kane and
Vincent Janssen, moved Spurs within four points of Premier League
leaders Chelsea, who travel to Manchester United on Sunday.
Dembele had not scored since January 2016 but he hit the net with
aplomb after 16 minutes, before Kane's flick set up Son to double Spurs'
lead, and the England striker scored his 20th league goal of the season
early in the second half.
Janssen then rounded off the win in stoppage time.
Defeat left Bournemouth and their leaky defence in danger of being
dragged back into the relegation scrap, while Spurs maintained the
imperious form that is forcing their London rivals to keep looking over
their shoulder in the title run-in.
