TPB Verdict
Omo, the finish na madness. Semenyo dey expected to do medical with Manchester City on Thursday for £65m move, and dis na proper way to sign off for Bournemouth.

Na first PL win for Bournemouth since end of October, and e come against Tottenham wey still dey shaky under Thomas Frank. Spurs don only win one of last six matches for Premier League, and dis late loss go pain dem well well.
