It is great to continue our winning run with this big win. But it was a strange match as it was not really a comfortable win. We scored from almost all our chances but Bournemouth had 3 or 4 chances which they could have scored as well. If they had scored it could have ended up like our 5-4 win over Leicester last season. Fortunately for us, they didn't make use of their chances or it could have put undue pressure on us. We rode our luck but it is satisfying to see us being clinical in front of goal for 2 matches in a row, scoring 11 goals in total.

Credit to Eriksen, Son, Kane and Moura for the goals. Good to see all our attacking players scoring, just like against Everton. It was a crucial first goal from Eriksen that helped us, even if it was a lucky deflection. Son then inspired us again with 2 well taken goals. Moura also did well to score our 3rd goal.Badly wanted Kane to score and really glad he did in the second half. Wish Kane had scored more than the 1 goal though. Despite the win, really disappointed Pochettino didn't bring on Lamela in the second half. With us leading 3-0 by half time and having another match on Saturday, really thought Lamela and Llorente would come on at the start of the 2nd half.

Our midfield had a mixed match. We played well in patches but felt we failed to control the match fully. Bournemouth created too many chances from midfield. Winks and Sissoko worked hard as usual but they were careless at times too. Sissoko was still poor at finishing despite all his runs and work rate. But Sissoko is getting too ambitious with his shot as he tried to score from outside the penalty box !

Well done to our defence for keeping this clean sheet. But it was not really a convincing performance from our defence. Bournemouth had many chances they could have easily scored. Alderweireld and Foyth were not at their best. Foyth's lack of experience showed as he had a poor match. We could have been punished if Bournemouth had a decent striker. Lloris also made a few good saves to stop them. This match shows we cannot get complacent even when we are winning big.

We have now won 5 league matches in a row. We have also went 19 league matches without a draw(15 wins, 4 loses) which equals the record set by Arsenal in 1984 after 19 matches(9 wins, 10 loses). More importantly, we have now moved above ManCity into 2nd place in the league, 6 points behind Liverpool in 1st place. Let's hope we will go on a long winning run to put pressure on Liverpool in the league title race.
