Southampton wins the battle with Spurs, 2-1

Expectations were high from Spurs this time as it seemed like they were prepared to beat a base half side and seek after the main four spot, but failed once again in their intentions to get ahead. Spurs were second best all through this game. Fans had a brief moment of relief when it looked like Steven Bergwijn had essentially safeguarded a point in added time, but VAR cancelled that. Antonio Conte chose a similar firing line-up and as he had on Saturday against Brighton.

Southampton stayed on top throughout the match Salisu, who had been shipped off in December was allowed an opportunity to use his long toss from the left. Spurs went ahead at 18th minute when Bednarek's touch put the ball in the net with Son prepared to jump. Then Chelsea loanee Armando Broja scored from short proximity shortly after and the scoring moved to the second half where Son pulled one goal down before Elyounoussi, and Adams scored two minutes apart to set up Southampton with a win.
