A high-octane clash at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday ended in a 0-0 draw as neither Bournemouth nor Tottenham Hotspur could take control of the match and make one of their few chances count.The result meant that Spurs (5-4-0) failed to move to the top of the Premier League table alone, with the Cherries much the happier side to emerge with a point.The hosts played a high press from the start, and the first half saw a flurry of yellow cards as late tackles flew in from both sides. There were a handful of openings.Bournemouth (3-3-3) threatened first with a close-range Charlie Daniels effort from a corner that crashed off the crossbar. After, Tottenhams Erik Lamela hit the post with an excellent drive from 30 yards. Bournemouths Callum Wilson went close twice just before the break, first with a header from Jack Wilsheres cross and then stabbing wide after Jordon Ibe had teed him up.The second half took a long time to open up, but when it finally did in the last 20 minutes Spurs Danny Rose saw a first-time effort well saved by Artur Boruc. At the other end, substitute Benik Afobe headed a great chance over from Simon Francis curling cross.In the end, the result was a fair one, and another feather in Bournemouths increasingly impressive cap.

Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Even before he dismounted his bike on that snowy Minnesota morning three years ago to ask Gwen Jorgensen if shed be his wife, Patrick Lemieux issued an equally unexpected proposal: He would abandon his pro cycling career to be her house husband.She was taken aback both times -- and twice she said yes.While viewers of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics are taking to social media to slam what they perceive as sexist portrayals of some of the worlds greatest athletes, Jorgensen fiercely credits her husbands role in her emergence as the worlds top female triathlete.Patrick is vital to my success, said Jorgensen, the two-time defending ITU world champion and the favorite in the womens Olympic triathlon this weekend.She said she never could have left her family in the Midwest to train and tour overseas for nine months a year and keep crushing races were it not for Lemieux quitting the Kenda 5-Hour Energy pro cycling team after two seasons to serve as her compass, chef and chauffeur.He provides the mental support, Jorgensen said. He also does all the little things like the cooking and cleaning and he goes to the grocery store.All of which would otherwise add up over time to sap the mental, physical and emotional energy required to stay on top of the world.So, Jorgensen said, Im really fortunate.While others in their circle look at the couple through envious eyes, Lemieux raises plenty of eyebrows in a society that grapples with gender roles.I dont have a `job, for some people, thats hard for them to grasp. But once you explain it they go, `I get it. Like, wow! OK, cool, Lemieux said Wednesday while watching the U.S. womens swim practice at the Flamengo Club not far from the triathlon course on Copacabana Beach where the men race Thursday.Yeah, of course, its a really easy punchline for a story like, `Guy stays at home, works for his wife. But its much more than that for us.Their lives crossed -- and changed -- during a chance encounter in 2011 in Milwaukee, where Jorgensen was an accountant at Ernst & Young and trying to see if this new sport shed been recruited to a year earlier was her bag.Lemieux happened upon a Wednesday night group bike ride while in town for a night. He joined the peloton and recognized his friend, Tom Schuler, who asked Lemieux if hed give some advice to Jorgensen.Although she was a track All-American and swam for three years at the University of Wisconsin, Jorgensen had only been riding for a year.He gave her some tips and when they were almost through Lemieux told Jorgensen he knew of this really great restaurant if she was up for it.She was.Without braking, Lemieux let go of the handlebars, sat up and casually tapped her number into his cellphone.Jorgensen:I thought that was very impressive.Lemieux:Yeah, that was like doing a wheelie, I guess.They soon began dating and a year later Lemieux was visiting Jorgensen in Madrid. He had a race to get back to in the U.S., but told her he wasnt going to use the ticket. She needed an operations manager to allow her to take that next step andd he knew just the guy.ddddddddddddorgensen:He told me, `Im going to be quitting cycling to be with you the whole time. I was like, `Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You need to think about this. I was actually more hesitant than him. He had been thinking about it and this was just a shock to me and I said I dont want you to have any regrets or I want you to follow your passion, as well, and he said, `No, Ive made my decision and Im going to be there with you.Lemieux:It was really clear to see. I was very pragmatic about my ability in the sport and it was clear to see that Gwen had already surpassed the highest level that I would reach. So, for me to quit that was more the emotions of leaving my friends pretty much. Cyclings pretty tough. It wasnt something that I was really prepared to keep investing in to get the returns on my performance that I wanted. So, that decision, people say, `Oh, thats tough, giving up your career. But Im really at peace with it. Ive never once turned back and said I wish I could go back. I miss riding my bike sometimes when the weathers nice for four, five, six hours. But the racing part of it, I dont miss it at all.Falling in love had revealed a hatred in his life.Yeah, its just a terrible sport, cycling, Lemieux said. Its really dangerous. All of it, the high speed. When you think about it, Novak Djokovic, when he goes out to play, hes never going to lose his life. When the road cyclists go out, they might die and thats a really confronting thing in that sport. And it just wasnt fun for me anymore.So, they were officially a team, and as 2013 was winding down, Lemieux and Jorgensen were back home in St. Paul, Minnesota, when they went on another memorable bike ride. As they approached the Ford Parkway Bridge, he suggested they stop and take a photo. I remember getting off my bike and thinking it really wasnt that pretty that day because it was actually the first snowfall and you really couldnt see a view of the river, Jorgensen said.You know, Im always going to love you, he said.You cant say these things unless you mean it, she interrupted.OK, well, what if I do this, he said as he got down on a knee.To say Jorgensen was swept off her feet doesnt do justice to the moment.I was shocked and I took a step back and slipped and fell on the ice, Jorgensen said. But, yeah, I was fine.As a team, Jorgensen won an unprecedented dozen consecutive races between May 2014 and April 2016, securing consecutive ITU world championships before cutting back on her schedule this year with an Olympic gold medal in mind.I love having Patrick around, she said. Hes there every day. Its an advantage for me and Pat, hes the worlds best caretaker. Because he comes from sport, he knows what I need, so I dont even ask for things. He just always knows.---AP Summer Games website: http://summergames.ap.org---Follow AP Sports Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton ' ' '
