Bournemouth’s Premier League survival offer received a boost as they played home goals without a goal against a passive Tottenham team.
Almost all three were in difficulty Cherries, even though Callum Wilson’s head kick came on the net.

Champions League qualification is almost over for Mourinho and Spurs, but the places in the Europa League are up for grabs
However, VAR corrected it correctly when the ball hit Wilson’s teammate Josh King’s hand en route to the goal.
They should have scored on the counterattack when Harry Wilson was scored on goal but Hugo Lloris was equal to his effort.
But Spurs will be sorry that he did not receive a penalty in the first five minutes.
Harry Kane was sent off in the penalty area after being awkwardly pushed in the back by King, but VAR decided not to give a free kick.

Penalty or not? Referee Paul Tierney and VAR said no
Neither side created too many clear possibilities in a game that also saw Adam Smith receive oxygen and stretch following a head-on collision with Ben Davies, leading to a twelve-minute break.
It appears that the decision to put Smith on a stretcher was a precaution
The result means that Eddie Howe’s team is still in the relegation zone, but three points behind rivals Watford and West Ham.
Meanwhile, Spurs’ hopes of finishing in the top four are almost all gone, as they are now ten points behind Leicester in fourth place with four games left.
In the other 18:00 kick-off, Danny Ings brought his extraordinary form to the goal while Southampton drew 1-1 against Everton.

Only Matt Le Tissier and James Beattie have scored 19 Premier League goals in a season for Saints
Ings gave Saints the lead with a poacher immediately after the half hour – the goal that brought him on par with Mohamed Salah on the charts this season. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Jamie Vardy are still ahead on Ings with 20 and 22 shots respectively.
However, the loot was shared with Richarlison by grabbing Everton’s equalizer just before the break.

Richarlison has scored twelve Premier League goals this season
The late kick-off saw Manchester United visit Aston Villa, and Mason Greenwood brightened things up once again while helping the Red Devils win 3-0.
The eighteen-year-old’s brilliant hit on the half-time shot put the Red Devils ahead two after Bruno Fernandes’s penalty gave them the lead.
There were critics of the decision to award the corner to Man United, given that Fernandes seemed to be stepping on Ezri Konsa rather than the Portuguese being fouled.

The images of the accident appear to show Fernandes walking on Konsa’s ankle, which means that the Man United player has actually committed the foul
However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men were superior to their opponents threatened by relegation and got a well-deserved third thanks to a strike composed by Paul Pogba.
The result puts United on the cusp of the coveted top four as they are just one point behind Leicester in fourth place.
In the meantime, Villa is getting closer and closer to losing their flight status as they are now four points behind safety and four games are missing.
