Chapter 1: What were the highlights of Tottenham's 4-0 victory over Bournemouth?
Tottenham beaten Bournemouth by three goals to nil. Another goal from Son today. And like they did a week ago, they'd closed the gap on the leaders Chelsea to four points. Moussa Dembele with his first goal of the season with his right foot as well. Harry came back in the starting nine. I think it's his 20th Premier League goal of the season. And both are with Patrick Davidson.
Guys well played. Harry, another opponent demolished. Did you enjoy it even more after missing a few weeks?
Yeah, definitely. It was great to be back out there starting again. Obviously missed being out there and obviously the guys have been doing great, winning comfortably. So I was happy to go out there today and put in a good shift and obviously happy that we won.
Moussa, back in the goals. Been a little bit of a wait, fair to say. Enjoy it.
Yeah, of course, it's my first goal of the season, so I'm very happy. But overall, we're very happy with the performance from today. I think everybody played very well.
As a team, we work hard, aggressive, so we're very happy. And a statistic I couldn't believe, that is your first ever Premier League goal with your right foot. Is it, yeah? Do you know that? I didn't know that.

Chapter 2: How did Harry Kane's return impact the team's performance?
That's very good. Harry, it's a significant one for you. 20 Premier League goals for the third season in a row and the ones that have done it before have been pretty good. Henry, Shearer, Van Nistelrooy, not bad company to be keeping, right?
No, it's great. Obviously, it's good to be consistent as a striker. I want to do that year in, year out. It's good to get three years in a row. We've still got plenty to play for this season, so I try not to think about that too much. We just want to win games. We've got a big game next week, of course, in the Cup, and then we've got a big push until the end of the season.
You're in hunting mode now, right? Yeah, of course. Sometimes it's good to play first, obviously early kick-off today, get the three points, and then we can enjoy our Easter weekend, see what happens tomorrow. Hopefully, Man Utd can get a result for us, and we'll see what happens.
You'll sit down and watch it, will you, Super Sunday? It's a big day in your season, isn't it, even though you don't play yourselves?
Yeah, of course. It's a big game.

Chapter 3: What significance does Moussa Dembele's first goal of the season hold?
Of course, I think a lot of us will be watching. We enjoy watching football anyway, so this is a big game. Hopefully, like I said, something can happen and go in our favour, but there's still a long way to go. We've just got to keep winning our games. OK, well, the Premier League man of the match today, Moussa Dembele. Well done, Moussa. Congrats. No problem.
And as well as man of the match, as well as his first goal since January 2016, a passing accuracy of 98%. That is the highest we've seen from any player anywhere in the Premier League this season. Thierry Henry, Jamie Redknapp alongside me. Well, all they have to do is keep winning, but I say all that's easier said than done. How impressively are they going about this chase?
I have to give Mauricio Pochettino a lot of credit because that team is well coached. You can see that every time they know what they have to do. We praised, I don't know how many times, the back four and the two in front and the amount of goal that they conceded here, but you have to praise, you have to praise, sorry, a lot the guy that's playing up front.
They don't give the opposition any time on the ball. Whether it was Man City here or Chelsea here or Watford the other day or today against Bournemouth, obviously, they just know what they need to do. They are well coached. You can see that they work a lot in training, especially tactically. Then after, they have the quality, obviously, to open up any team, especially here at the lane.
But you have to give Mauricio Pochettino a lot of credit because he did it at Southampton. He did it in Spain with Espanyol and once again here.
And you look at that second half at times, it looked like an exhibition match. The gulf between the two sides was huge. People say, well, look, it's Bournemouth. They're down the other end of the table. But to play like they're doing, week in, week out, takes some doing.
I love what Jerry said there. It's true. There are no passengers in this Tottenham team. Everybody is at it. Everybody's closing. Everybody's pressing. They all buy into it. And I'm not trying to dig out Arsenal here, but if you look at the Arsenal team at times, they have got passengers. There are people that don't buy into the press inside of the game.
But with Tottenham, it's completely different. And you can see the energy they play out because the amount of times they win the ball high up the pitch, it becomes infectious. It becomes, this is great. Every time someone goes and presses, I'll have a bit of that, I'll come in behind. And it happens all over the pitch.
You have to be well coached, but you have to buy into it and you have to be young and you have to be full of energy. And that's what this bird's eye are at the moment. Now, whether they can go all the way and win the league, it's going to take a little bit of a capitulation from Chelsea. But they're in it. They're in it. They're right in the mix. It's just their away form bothers me.

Chapter 4: How has Tottenham's coaching influenced their recent success?
be it this season, last season, it's when Dembele's in the team and he's fresh. Unfortunately, he's not had him enough for the Belgian team, but he is a tremendous talent. He just makes them tick. He's a sort of guy that a lot of people wouldn't even notice because he gets it, gives it, he goes dry with the ball. He's a tremendous player.
The thing with Moussa, he does get injured from time to time, but when he does play, 1v1, I've never seen that. I've seen a couple of guys like that, but he's very good in 1v1 and on the ball, but he always wants to go forward.
And when you have a guy like that playing as a holding midfielder, he does his job, obviously, defensively, but he will beat people so he can dribble, but with a pass also he can beat people.
Less than three minutes later, it is 2-0 to Spurs. It's Son yet again. He got a couple here last week.
How close did he run, Dembele, for man of the match? I thought he was. That was my man of the match, in all fairness. We already said that Wiltshire could have done better there. Great touch from Kane. And I love the first touch that Son had. And after, also. You're going to see.
That first touch, going to take you, great pass there, away from your marker, protect that ball, keep it low, goalkeeper, legs open, and it's a goal there. It does stop the momentum of Cook there, keeps the ball low, you always have a chance to score, but how quick did he think about it? That was impressive for me. That first touch, go ahead of your marker, block his momentum, keep it low.
2-0 half-time. Didn't take Harry Kane long in the second half to get on the score sheet, as he loves to do against both. Now six in three appearances against them. Does Simon Francis just get too tight on him here?
No, he doesn't get tight enough. He miscontrolled the ball. Look at where he is. He anticipated something that didn't happen yet, for me, personally. That was very unlike Harry Kane, actually, his first touch. You know, he wanted to keep it, the ball hits his knee, and you will see, Francis actually gives him too much respect. Look where he ends up.
Harry Kane has the time to fall, breakdance, get the ball back, put it on his left foot and score.

Chapter 5: What tactical mistakes did Bournemouth make during the match?
He's a player that's a number 10, meant to be a luxury player. He's full pelt, trying to win the ball back for his team, putting teams under pressure. If you're a young player out there watching this, get your Sky Plus remote, take it back and have a look at that. That's energy that you've got to show to be a footballer.
I watch some players now, they think it's all about, yeah, nice skills, nice flicks. It's all about pressing. Do you want to win the ball back high up the pitch? If you do, then you can create chances.
But that's a hallmark of a Pochettino side, isn't it?
There's no room for luxury players. That's what he was talking about earlier on. There's a hallmark for all great teams. He played one of the greatest teams of all time, Barcelona. How much did you press teams? And you had so many good players in that team.
Actually, since you mentioned it, when I went there, I started to enjoy putting pressure. That wasn't something that I was known for. But because we were doing it all together, we had a plan on how to do it and we knew we were going to get that ball back and making sure that we can score straight away from it. It was the best because when you do that, you catch the team really wide open.
And then you have a chance to score, but you get your reward. But what I want to say there is we're showing that they're winning. Like the two clips, they were already winning. So that's something. The second one, they were winning 3-0 and they still want to go because that's the theme. And it's not just because it's
It's easy to shout at people saying it's only because they're playing against Bournemouth. They do it against Man City here. They do it against all the best teams. We could have had 20 clips. The guys have dug out a couple of nice ones there. There were so many times that Tottenham won the ball high up the pitch and that's because their coach so well. We spoke at the start.
You said you had no fears about Bournemouth heading in the wrong direction in terms of back into the Championship. For you, it looks like they're going to be heading for a third season in the Premier League. Despite what we've seen here today and how 2017 is going, that's a huge achievement in itself, is it not?
It is, yeah. I was disappointed in them today. They didn't really play. They looked a little bit like they'd come here and they were going to get beaten. Did they get the set-up wrong? It's tough. I was surprised I said before the game, when you go in with a 4-4-2 against a side like Spurs that dominate the middle area and you've got Wilshere and Arter. Wilshere struggles in a two.
