Chapter 1: What were the key moments in the Bournemouth vs Tottenham match?
It has finished 0-0 between Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur here at the Vitality Stadium. 16 attempts from Tottenham to Bournemouth's aid, only one on target from the host. That was Charlie Daniels in the opening few minutes of the game. That's the least on target they've had in the Premier League this season. Four on target for Tottenham and pretty equal in terms of the distance covered.
It was a high-intensity match. The possession dominated by Tottenham. as it finishes all square, and Tottenham's unbeaten start to the new season continues. But they were given a tough test, the tone really set by this man, Harry Arter, and also Jack Wilshere playing the full 90 minutes, both now alongside Greg Whelan.
Harry, Jack, well done. Harry, a really hard-earned point that was, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was. They're an unbelievable side and they work ever so hard and one thing that we had to do today was match it and I think for a nil-nil it was a great game to watch and that was purely down to both teams working as hard as they could.
Jack, you went at Spurs toe-to-toe with them right from the start.
What was the game plan? Well, that was the game plan. We knew we had to match them. They're a great team. We knew we had to match their hard work and their pressing. We got quality on the ball as well, as you saw during the game. So we knew that if we could play well under pressure, we'd have a few opportunities. Unfortunately, we didn't put one in, but we're happy with the point.
Harry, you knew that Tottenham would go top if they came here and won today. Did that give you a little bit of extra incentive, extra motivation?
I wouldn't say so, no. We knew that they've got a fantastic team, as we touched upon earlier. They haven't lost this season in the league and it's easy to see why they haven't. But we had a game plan, we played them twice last year and they turned us over quite easily both times, so it's good to see how far we've progressed and I feel we deserved our point today.
Very intense game over 90 minutes, a very fair game, but there was one incident towards the end. Was Sissoko, in your opinion, lucky to still be on the pitch after what happened?

Chapter 2: How did Bournemouth's performance challenge Tottenham?
That's the first time in two years you've done 90 minutes in the Premier League. How do you feel your contribution is here at Bournemouth?
Yeah, I feel better and better each week. The manager's been great to me. He's brought me in slowly, he's played me 70, 75. Today he said to me, if I could play 90, I'd be good. So I feel like I'm getting fitter and fitter each week. I'm contributing more to the team each week and hopefully I can continue.
From the point of view of the team, that's 10 points from 12 here at home. How important is the home form, do you feel, going to be this season?
Yeah, that's massive for us. We can get our fans involved in games like they were excellent today, and they can really count as a 12th man for us. We've started well at home this season. Ever since I've been here, we seem to be playing our best football at home, so if we can continue that, then I'm sure we'll be all right.
Good game to watch all round. Hard forward point. You're also the Premier League man of the night, Harry. Jack, if you do the honours, please.
Well done, guys. Thank you. Cheers.
Bournemouth undefeated here at home since the opening day of the season against Manchester United. Tim Sherwood, Jamie Redknapp alongside me. What stood out for you about Harry Arter's performance today overall?
His fitness is unbelievable. And his strength around his body. He's not the biggest player in the world.

Chapter 3: What was the significance of Harry Arter's performance?
He's 5'8", maybe something like that. But his strength and his willingness and desire to go toe-to-toe with these world stars, what Tottenham have here. He doesn't care who they was. He's just played a game of football. 11 men against 11. It's all over you. Get off. You're a rash. He's horrible. He's horrible to play against, you know, but he can use it himself.
Look at the strength there he uses. You know, but he can use... Look, he loves that. He just wants to get his foot in. It's like medicine to him. He feels better every time. Look, look at him all over him. Look, he's like a bad smell. He just cannot strike... Medicine to bad smell. You can't strike him off, you know. He just loves to tackle every time. Look at this one. Look at that block.
He puts out fires when he's needed to. He's got a range of passing. It was old school, Tim.
Outstanding. It was an old school midfield performance. Tim is a position that we both played. I loved watching him today. That one, that's a bit naughty. Tim Sherwood had that in his locker, trust me. He did it to me a few times. But I thought he was magnificent today. I was probably... the best midfield performance I've seen all season. Because as Tim said, this is a lad in a Premier League.
Honestly, he was all action. And he was a player that was at Woking a few years ago, playing in a non-league. And it shows you they are out there if they're given an opportunity. But it wasn't just the tackles. It was the passing. It was the energy that he showed. He was the player that epitomised how Bournemouth played today. Everything about his game was sensational.
If you look at all the touches on the ball, perhaps not as high as what he would have liked, but the passes, the tackles, interceptions, and the distances covered there as well. And what you perhaps can't see on TV sometimes at home is that Bournemouth pressed and went man for man.
Every time they had a goal kick, Tottenham did this against Man City a few weeks ago, but he was the one that was organising it. He was the one that was saying to people, yeah, let's press.

Chapter 4: What were the controversial moments in the match?
And that's a brave thing to do against a really good Tottenham side. They were at Sermon as well today, so he had to make a change. But I thought he was unbelievable. Honestly, as Tim says, I was in awe of his performance.
He's a dream for a manager. Because he's one who carries the message onto the pitch.
He set the tone for the rest, didn't he?
Along with the centre-half, Cook. They send the message. They know. They're right down the spine of the team. He knows. He knows he's getting pushed on. Cook's pushing him on, and he's pushing the centre-forwards on. They know they're going to press high. They played Tottenham twice last year. They got their arse... They've got even problems.
Chapter 5: How did Jack Wilshere's return impact the game?
They're backsides. But I think that they've learned. And especially Eddie Howe has learned. He's learned from that. He knows we've given too much respect. He's gone toe-to-toe with a Tottenham team. He shouldn't have been on the same pitch as us. But why shouldn't they? On today's evidence, you can go toe-to-toe with anyone in the division and you can perform like that.
We've seen a lot of bigger teams go and think they were a little bit inferior to other teams and don't want to try and win and just try and nick a point. They haven't tried to nick a point here today. They've gone toe-to-toe. They could have won it with a phobia, couldn't they? We're talking about Tottenham winning the Premier League.
And Tottenham didn't play bad today, but they give as good as what they got today.
Well, you mentioned a phobia. Just how close were they to taking all three points?
Yeah, this is a difficult chance. I think if he scores this, he's a good goal scorer, he has good movement, and he just flicks it. I think that would be a very, very good finish if he finished that one. You don't see many headers scored from that distance. But they created their own chances. I thought they had the best chances overall. They defended very well as well, Bournemouth.
How significant that Jack Wilshere has finally, for his club, completed 90 minutes?
It's massive for him, because I'm sure he's fed up with pundits, the press, the media. You can even see he bristled when he was asked the question there in the interview. He's fed up talking about it. He's proved to himself that he can play 90 minutes. I think it's important.
I mean, he didn't have a lot of choice, to be honest, to manage it, because he had to, because they were picking up injuries. But I thought he did really well today, and it was tough in there, because he's playing against Dembele, he's playing against Wanyama. you know, big units. So it was always difficult. But some of his touches were exquisite. They were nice to watch.
And as the game wore on, the last five minutes, he actually come back into it again. And that'll be really good. That's a lovely little pass. But he's going to get better and better here. And I said before the game, it's a brilliant thing that he's done. Where he's got to be careful is things like this. This is where he's going to get injured again. Lunging at the tackles.

Chapter 6: How did the teams adapt to player absences during the match?
When he plays for England, I just don't see him as a defensive midfielder. I think you lose so much of what he does well. In that role where he plays now, he can see the game and slow it down. He's a lovely link for the team. And you mentioned before the game about with Callum Wilson. Those passes, the more they play together, the more understanding they'll create.
He's a schemer. He receives the ball on his back foot. He knows when to let it run and he can slide balls in. He's got a great vision, as you would playing with them world stars at Arsenal for all them years.
Harry Arter played it down a little bit, away from the cauldron of the game when he was chatting to Greg Whelan, but the coming together of him and Sissoko, what was your take on this? Did you think the referee, Craig Paulson, saw it?
It's a little bit naughty. The referee, I think, is facing it, but I think something catches his attention. Look, you can see him here, he's watching it. It's not good enough, you. Yeah, it's an interesting one, but I'm sure they'll look at it, the FA, but... I mean, I think it shows you what an honest man he is because he could have made a lot of that.
But once the game's finished, he said, OK, I didn't mean it. Tim, I bow to your great knowledge on that because you had Daniel Locker as well.
He's gone at you again.
You could hear from the mics around the pitch there, he was telling him, you're going to be in trouble, you're going to be in trouble. And I think Sissoko, someone might look at that, you know, he's obviously a retrospective. I mean, it's not a trailing elbow during the heat of the battle. I think Wanyama would have liked to have done it to him.
I think it would have been Wanyama who would have said, yeah, he's definitely gone for afters there because those two are at it all game, Arter and Wanyama. But as he said, Sissoko is not normally something that he has in his game.
In this fixture last season, Spurs thrashed Eddie Howe's Bournemouth by five goals to one. Much better from his side today. 0-0, they're up into the top half and Eddie Howe is alongside Greg Whelan.
