Defender Dean Huijsen scored the only goal as Bournemouth beat Tottenham to climb above them in the Premier League table.

The 19-year-old was left unmarked at the back post to head home Marcus Tavernier’s inswinging corner on 17 minutes.

Huijsen’s goal extended Spurs’ poor record of dealing with set-pieces, and prompted manager Ange Postecoglou to shake his head ruefully on the touchline.

Postecoglou’s side had started well, with Dominic Solanke

Both teams are dealing with life without their biggest goal threats of recent seasons, with Brentford having sold Ivan Toney and Bournemouth losing Dominic Solanke.

Coming into Saturday’s game, only three teams had scored more in the Premier League than the Bees (17), with both Bryan Mbeumo and Wissa among the league’s top 11 scorers.

The hosts went ahead through Barkley, who netted his first goal since returning to the club from Luton in the summer, having previously played for Villa on a loan from Chelsea in the 2020-21
