One Tottenham Hotspur player who stood out during the team’s defeat at AFC Bournemouth was Mathys Tel, as the Frenchman produced his strongest display to date.
The 20-year-old opened the scoring at the Vitality Stadium with a wicked strike; however, the Lilywhites failed to capitalise on their strong start.

Would you send Mathys Tel on loan or keep him at Tottenham?
Thomas Frank’s team have looked rather underwhelming in attack this season, so any signs of green shoots the manager should be looking to nurture, and that includes Tel.
The French youth international looked rather lively throughout the match and continues to prove why the Spurs boss must utilise him more in N17.
Mathys Tel stands out for Tottenham against Bournemouth
Mathys Tel has proved that he could be one of the players to help save Frank’s job at Tottenham following his display at Bournemouth.
Frank looks under big pressure at Tottenham to turn things around quickly, with just two wins in their last 12 Premier League matches.
The former Bayern Munich star hasn’t really been given much of a look-in this season, but away on the South Coast, he showed much promise yet again.
MORE SPURS STORIES
In the 1-1 draw with Sunderland, Tel impressed Spurs supporters and did the same again in the defeat at Bournemouth.
According to Sofascore, Tel completed the most dribbles with six, the most key passes with three, and the second-highest duels won with 12.

Would you sack or back the Dane?
The winger was often looking to drive Spurs forward, but right now, the team looks rather disjointed in possession.
Having just lost Mohammed Kudus to injury and sold Brennan Johnson, Tel’s importance to the team has just increased.
His performance in the defeat was one of the few positives Frank can take from an awful evening in the Premier League, and now he must be utilised to better effect.
Thomas Frank must shut down Mathys Tel speculation
Going into the transfer window, Tel was actually linked with a move away from Tottenham on loan, and the club must ensure that move doesn’t happen.
Reports from Turkish outlet, Yeni Akit, claim that the North London club have been open to sending the player out on loan, amid interest from Galatasaray.
But that was before Kudus’ injury, and surely now that will no longer be the case.
The Frenchman has played just 607 minutes for Spurs this season, which is rather sparse, and this must change if Frank is to save his job.
