Bournemouth took the extraordinary, gas guzzling decision to FLY to London for their Premier League match at Tottenham Hotspur, Daily Mail Sport understands.

The Cherries took to the skies for a 20-minute short-hop to City Airport, rather than opting for a more eco-friendly train or bus journey in a carbon heavy move which may well raise eyebrows among campaigners, other clubs and the league itself.

Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium is a mere 113 miles from Spurs’s Tottenham Stadium and can be reached without traffic in around two-and-a-half-hours by road. Trains from Bournemouth to Waterloo take around one hour and 59 minutes.
