The match began with Bournemouth taking the lead just five minutes in. Evanilson scored with a deflected effort that found the far corner of the net, the first goal Tottenham had conceded all season.
Tottenham struggled in the first half, particularly in the final third. They were fortunate not to fall behind again when David Brooks found Antoine Semenyo inside the area, but he headed the ball over the crossbar.
Spurs were uncharacteristically poor in the first half, failing to register a single attempt on goal. The hosts had plenty to improve upon after the break, and it was clear that Tottenham's fans were frustrated with the team's performance.
Despite being given a stern dressing down at the break, Bournemouth continued to press the hosts. The Cherries were all over the place in defence, and Evanilson was again heavily involved in the action.
The visitors created several chances, including a golden opportunity to take a more comfortable lead when Guglielmo Vicario lost the ball in his defensive third. However, Marcus Tavernier's back-post effort only rippled the wide netting.
It took Tottenham 70 minutes to muster an effort on target, with Lucas Bergvall's attempt being tame at best. Meanwhile, Bournemouth continued to create chances, with David Brooks coming close to scoring when his effort crashed back off the crossbar.
In the end, Tottenham's lack of finishing in the final third of the pitch proved costly, as they slipped to their first defeat of the season. Bournemouth, on the other hand, are looking up after a turbulent summer, having now won back-to-back league games.
David Brooks was named the Flashscore Man of the Match for his impressive performance.
