Rodrigo Bentancur scored deep in stoppage time for Tottenham to complete a comeback from two goals down and beat Bournemouth 3-2 in the English Premier League on Saturday, ending a two-game losing run.
Spurs boss Antonio Conte made six changes for the match at the Vitality Stadium ahead of a pivotal week for the club as they face Marseille in the Champions League on Tuesday, where they can qualify for the last 16 with a draw, before hosting Liverpool next weekend.
But the changes quickly backfired as Dominic Solanke superbly released Marcus Tavernier down the right to square for the unmarked Moore, who expertly slotted into the bottom corner in the 22nd minute.
Spurs came close to equalising in the 33rd minute when Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi headed against his own post from Heung-Min Son’s cross but a frustrating half saw Tottenham go in behind for a third consecutive game.
Conte’s problems deepened just four minutes into the second half as Moore scored his second, heading home ex-Spurs defender Adam Smith’s cross after the striker beat Emerson Royal to the ball.
But in the 57th minute Spurs clicked into gear as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg played a superb defence-splitting ball to release Sessegnon, who finished low in off the post.
The left wing-back appeared to have been coming off for Ivan Perisic just before his goal, but the Croatian replaced Royal instead.
Perisic then delivered a corner to the back post in the 73rd minute where Davies headed in after some poor goalkeeping from Mark Travers.
Spurs pushed for a winner and it was another substitute who had the desired impact for Conte as Bentancur volleyed home from close range in the second minute of five added on to spark wild celebrations as the visitors avoided a fourth game without a win.
Tottenham’s attention now turns to a do-or-die Champions League group stage game at Marseille on Tuesday night, with Antonio Conte’s side needing a result in France to reach the knockout stages – or face elimination if they lose.
Spurs then host Liverpool on Super Sunday next weekend, live on Sky Sports with kick-off at 4.30pm.
Conte’s side face Nottingham Forest away in the Carabao Cup on November 9, then host Leeds three days later before the World Cup break.
Bournemouth go to Leeds next weekend before back-to-back games against Everton at home.
The Cherries welcome the Toffees in the Carabao Cup on November 8 before playing the same fixture in the league four days later.
