BOURNEMOUTH 1 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 4March 11 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur overcame a worrying injury to talismanic striker Harry Kane to beat Bournemouth 4-1 with a Son Heung-min double and goals from Dele Alli and Serge Aurier to move up to third in the Premier League on Sunday. Spurs were flattered by the margin of victory after they fell behind during a high-octane start by Bournemouth in which Junior Stanislas hit the bar and then scored after six minutes. Full back Aurier made it 4-1 late on after Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic failed to clear his lines. Son's goals have come in a devastating 11-day spell which has contributed to what Argentine Pochettino said was the player's best-ever campaign with Spurs. Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe said his side were unlucky to have a Callum Wilson goal disallowed for a push in the area.
