Tottenham Hotspur beat Bournemouth 3-1 in the 20th round of the 2023-24 Premier League held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, the U.K., at 11 p.m. on Saturday (Korea time). Tottenham ranked fifth in the league with 39 points.
Tottenham scored the first goal. In the 9th minute of the first half, Rodrigo Bentancur cut the pass of goalkeeper Netu Murara. Pape Sarr caught the ball through Giovanni Lo Celso. Sarr shook the net with a bold shot. The first half ended with Tottenham leading 1-0.
Tottenham scored an additional goal. It was Son Heung-min. In the 25th minute of the second half, Lo Celso stabbed it forward with a left-footed out-front pass, and Son Heung-min penetrated quickly. Entering the penalty box, Son Heung-min shot a left-footed shot into the net.
Tottenham sealed the game. In the 34th minute of the second half, Brennan Johnson’s cross from the right side was scored by Hishalisson with his foot. Bournemouth recovered a goal. James Tavernier crossed in the 38th minute of the second half and Alex Scott solved it. In the end, the game ended with Tottenham’s 3-1 victory.
Hill played as a substitute on the day. According to soccer statistics magazine “Sopa Score,” Hill played for eight minutes, recording one shot that missed the goal post, one missed big chance, 13 touched balls, 100 percent success rate (successful five times out of five) and two cleared balls. His rating was 6.1.
Hill was disappointed. Pierre-Emile Hoivier scored a cross after receiving a pass from Son Heung-min at the 42nd minute of the second half. Hill hit the ball on the head right in front of the net, but hit the crossbar. Hill was active throughout the game, but lacked in the closing process including shooting and passing.
Hill was once considered a rising star of Tottenham, but failed to secure a position at Tottenham, and left for Valencia and Sevilla. He returned to Tottenham ahead of this season. As Son remains strong and hired new wingers including Manor Solomon and Johnson, Hill’s position was limited. He took the opportunity as a substitute, but has failed to display competitive edge.
