Andrew Surman says Bournemouth will not become complacent despite being 13 points clear of the Premier Leagues bottom three. Last Saturdays 3-2 win over Swansea lifted Bournemouth to 13th in the table and a win at Tottenham on Sunday could see them move into the top half.Surman spoke to Sky Sports News HQ of his clubs survival battle, on the same day local pupils had lessons at the Vitality Stadium as part of the Destination Education My Team programme - an initiative largely funded by Pooles Dolphin Shopping Centre. But, the former Norwich midfielder insists his team will not stop working until they have secured their spot in the Premier League for another year.I think until its mathematically secured we will keep going, he said. Weve put ourselves in a really good position. We want to look up now. Surman has played a key role in Bournemouths midfield in their maiden Premier League campaign Weve caught a couple of clubs that are mid-table, if we can keep winning you never know where we might end up finishing.The midfielder will undoubtedly be putting everything into the Cherries upcoming match against White Hart Lane on Sunday.Surman has run the most distance of any player in the Premier League, covering an average of over 12km per game, totaling 361km so far this season. Bournemouth will have to deal with the Premier Leagues joint-top scorer, Harry Kane, on Sunday The distance is more than enough to get him from Bournemouth to White Hart Lane on Sunday and back again.When Spurs visited the Vitality Stadium back in October, they secured a comfortable 5-1 win, and Surman is well aware that coming away from title-chasing Spurs with three points will be a big challenge.They [Tottenham] are probably the best team weve played this season, Surman added. Spurs are setting the pace at the moment and its no surprise to me that theyre at the top of the league.
