Spurs' defender Juan Foyth did the real-life imitation of the classic Simpsons' 'grandpa meme' today when he was sent off just two minutes after coming on against Bournemouth. The Argentine came on for Toby Alderweireld at half-time as Mauricio Pochettino looked to sure things up at the back following the surprise dismissal of Heung-Min Son at the end of the first half. But having barely broke a sweat, Spurs received a second straight red card when Foyth took a heavy touch and lunged it late on Jack Simpson. Advert 10 Craig Pawson showed the red and Spurs were down to nine men. Advert 10 Foyth joined Son in the early shower club after the South Korean was sent off for retaliating and shoving Jefferson Lerma in a moment of madness at the tail-end of the first half. Spurs held out for the vast majority of the second half but were undone in stoppage time when Nathan Ake headed home the winner from a corner. Advert 10<doc-sep>Tottenham Hotspur needed a win against Bournemouth if it wanted to compete in the Champions League next season. Unfortunately for the club, it lost 1-0 on a late winner by Nathan Aké in stoppage time. Even worse, the Londoners played the entire second half with just nine men on the pitch. Both Son Heung-min and Juan Foyth received straight reds on Saturday, putting the team’s chances at a top-four finish in the Premier League in jeopardy.

It marked Son’s first red in a Spurs kit, and the second of his career. The 26-year-old received his first in 2014 as a player for Bayer Leverkusen. Similar to Saturday’s incident, it was also a straight red. Mauricio Pochettino’s men sauntered off into the dressing room level at 0-0 wondering how they would take a vital lead against Eddie Howe’s side. Little did Tottenham know, its problems would worsen. One minute into the second half, substitute Foyth made a dangerous challenge on Jack Simpson to leave his club with nine men left to play. The Argentinian had been on the pitch for only 120 seconds. Story continues Naturally, Twitter had a field day with the unexpected Spurs meltdown. Not going to lie, I'm only watching the rest of this game to see where Sky put another red line when Spurs get another player sent off. Under it, above it or under the clock?

Man wanted to spend his Saturday laying in bed and did his best to get back to that dream. I respect it. — Zito (@_Zeets) May 4, 2019 The loss keeps Tottenham stuck on 70 points with Chelsea sitting at 68 and Arsenal at 66. Both of the latter teams are in action on Sunday. Tottenham returns to Champions League action Wednesday night when it faces Ajax in the second leg of the tournament’s semifinal. Ajax won the first leg 1-0. More from Yahoo Sports:<doc-sep>BEN STANSALL/Getty Images Nine-man Tottenham Hotspur failed to seal their spot in next season's UEFA Champions League after they lost 1-0 at Bournemouth on Saturday following red cards for Heung-Min Son and Juan Foyth. Nathan Ake rose high to head home the winner in the 91st minute and condemn Spurs to a third successive defeat in all competitions, having played almost the entire second half with a two-player deficit. Spurs had an error-strewn first half at the Vitality Stadium, and Son was given his marching orders in the 43rd minute after raising his hands to Cherries midfielder Jefferson Lerma. Mauricio Pochettino's side were then reduced to nine after half-time substitute Juan Foyth lunged in high with his studs up in the 48th minute. The loss leaves Tottenham third and two points ahead of fourth-place Chelsea, who can jump above their London rivals if they beat Watford at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Tottenham travelled to the south coast on Saturday knowing three points would have been enough to guarantee a top-four finish. But the loss means any two of Chelsea, Arsenal or Manchester United could finish above Spurs if they also lose at home to Everton in their final league outing of the campaign. With Harry Kane injured, Son was again called upon to lead the line despite the approaching Champions League semi-final second leg against Ajax. Video Play Button Videos you might like One could argue Lerma overreacted to Son's push and that the South Korea international only deserved a caution, though raising one's hands to an opponent in front of the referee is never advisable. The pressure is often telling at this stage of the season—especially for those still competing across multiple fronts—but Son picked a poor time to lose his composure. Sky Sports Statto highlighted how uncharacteristic Son's transgression was: If the north Londoners went in at half-time feeling downbeat, their moods weren't helped early after the restart when Foyth—who came on for Toby Alderweireld at half-time—was sent off in the 48th minute. The Argentinian lunged in on Jack Simpson following a bad touch, and referee Craig Pawson had little choice but to punish him, per OptaJoe: The 21-year-old has earned encouraging plaudits during his time with Tottenham, but his hopes of moving up the centre-back pecking order won't have been helped by his swift dismissal. Men in Blazers put Foyth's short appearance into context for Game of Thrones viewers: Tottenham did surprisingly well to hold back Bournemouth despite their disadvantage—a credit to Pochettino for his tactics—but that two-man difference told during an injury-time set piece. Ryan Fraser whipped in a corner, and Ake stormed in to finally break the deadlock. Cherries boss Eddie Howe will have been delighted with the patience his side showed, while an excruciating defeat for Spurs means a top-four finish still isn't guaranteed. Son and Foyth will be suspended for Tottenham's final league game of the season, which could create an issue considering star striker Kane already looks set to be out of the clash with an ankle injury. What's Next? Tottenham's attention turns towards Wednesday's UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg against Ajax. They travel to the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam having lost the home leg 1-0. They will host Everton on the last day of the season (May 12). Bournemouth's dramatic victory lifted them up to 12th, and they will travel to Crystal Palace in their last game of the season, hoping to finish the campaign in the top half of the table.

Tottenham experienced a nightmare on Saturday after being reduced to nine men with Heung-Min Son and Juan Foyth both receiving their marching orders. Son was first go in the opening 45 minutes, as he was sent off by referee Craig Pawson for a shove on Jefferson Lerma, albeit it looked like a harsh decision. SEE MORE: Video: Heung-Min Son sent off after push on Jefferson Lerma, makes unwanted PL history Mauricio Pochettino brought on Victor Wanyama and Foyth at half-time to change shape and perhaps steady the ship a little to ensure that Tottenham returned home with a positive result. However, his new game-plan went out of the window within minutes of the restart as Foyth was shown a straight red card by Pawson for the challenge seen in the video below. The 21-year-old was on the pitch for just two minutes and 13 seconds in total, and now leaves his teammates in a real spot of bother as they continue to battle to try and secure Champions League qualification. Both Son and Foyth will now miss the last game of the season against Everton, which will be a blow for Pochettino and Tottenham, especially if they still need a result in that game to be sure of a top-four finish. Another ? for Tottenham! Juan Foyth has barely been on the pitch for two minutes but is heading back down the tunnel for this late lunge on Simpson! ?
