Tottenham Hotspur fell into a deep quagmire after Antoine Semeno's theatrical goal just before the end of the game. In the meantime, the head coach made absurd remarks even after the defeat.

Tottenham lost to Bournemouth 2-3 again in the 21st round of the English Premier League (EPL) at the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth, England, on the 8th (Korea time).

It's the worst slump. Tottenham have only won two of their last 12 games, falling to 14th place. Bournemouth won 11 games (5 draws and 6 losses) and collected three valuable points.

According to the British 'BBC', Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola said, "It was a necessary victory. "I've had a few chances to win recent games," he said. "The soccer god can't just listen to the opponent every time. Today was the perfect moment for us and Semeno," he said.

As for Semeno, who has already been confirmed to go to Manchester City, he admitted, "Unfortunately, I think it was my last game with Bournemouth." He improved every season and scored 10 goals in half a season even though he was not a professional striker. "I will miss him very much, including the competition for aerial balls and the ability to participate in defense," he praised.

On the other hand, the captain left a feeling that was somewhat difficult to understand. According to the British media 'Football London', Tottenham manager Thomas Frank said, "Even though I showed good performance overall, I didn't get anything. "It's very hard," he said. "The beginning of the game was good. He also scored the first goal. However, he gave up two goals in the second set piece situation. In particular, I should have handled the second loss scene much better," he blamed himself.

Still, coach Frank said, "I really liked the fighting spirit of the players. We were absolutely overwhelmed in the second half. He said, "Tottenham was closer to winning despite disappointing situations such as Hishalisson's bad luck in the net and the cancellation of penalties." It's very painful to lose and lose in extra time. But this is football," he added.

Tottenham opened the opening statement on the day. Mattis Tell, who received a sensational backheel pass from Xavi Simmons in the fifth minute of the first half, shook the net with a low shot after breaking down the left side. However

But the lead didn't last long. In the 22nd minute, Bournemouth tied Marcus Tavernier's cross with an Evaniuson header in a corner-kick mix, and in the 36th minute, Junior Krupi finished and turned the game 2-1 as Tavernier's cross flowed.

Tottenham, which staged a wave of attacks in the second half, cried due to bad luck. Hisalisson's header, which was replaced in the 22nd minute, hit the post, and the penalty, which seemed to have been earned by Mickey van der Penn, was canceled after VAR. 33 min João Fáligna connected Pedro Porro's corner with a fantastic bicycle kick to balance it 2-2.

The match was decided in the 5th minute of extra time in the second half, when the draw was on the horizon. Bournemouth fixer Semeno appeared. Semeno, who was confirmed to transfer to Manchester City, decided the match by drilling through the corner of the goal with a powerful right foot shot from outside the penalty box. Semeno was replaced shortly after scoring and received a standing ovation from home fans.

Tottenham shows no signs of rebounding after captain Son Heung-min (Los Angeles FC) left last season. According to the British 'BBC', Tottenham fans are booing the team day after day. According to 'Team Talk', Frank is considered one of the EPL head coaches who is likely to be replaced.
