Bournemouth would have taken a point against high-flying Spurs before the match and keeping a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw was a pleasant bonus. Eddie Howe's side have finally bedded in and they are playing decent football from front to back. The Cherries are rapidly becoming a team that no one wants to face.
Positives
Another clean sheet against last year's runner-ups is a massive positive. Bournemouth have lost just one of their last seven fixtures, taking 10 of a possible 12 points from home. Watching Jack Wilshere finally play a full 90 minutes was another highlight.
