What were the key moments in the Southampton vs Spurs match?
Ericsson's corner, Kane got up, and Tottenham have turned it around again. Ericsson trying to set Son away and he has. Son wraps it up for Tottenham. And he slips in Dele Alli, and the man who started the Tottenham revival rounds it off.
Yeah, quite a turnaround from Tottenham after a difficult start here at St Mary's. They make it three wins on the spin. They go one point behind the top four. 17 attempts from Tottenham tonight, five on target. That had 111 attempts on target this season so far, the second highest in the Premier League. Look at those touches in the opposition box, 22-9. They really did overpower Southampton, particularly in that second half. Passing accuracy, not much to split between the two sides. But look at those total passes. Tottenham would need a double that of Southampton. And it was a double for Dele Alli tonight in his 50th Premier League appearance for Tottenham. He scored here last season in this fixture. So too did Harry Kane.
He missed one from the penalty spot. That'll be much talked about. But he did get a goal. And both now with Greg Whelan.
Harry Deli, very well done tonight. Harry, what message has a result like this here sent out, do you feel?
Yeah, a big one. I think Southampton away is a tough game for any team in the league, and we've come here and scored four goals and had a comfortable win in the end. So, yeah, we're delighted, but we've got another game in a few days that we've got to focus on now.
Deli, two goals tonight. How important, looking back, was the timing of that first one?
Yeah, I think obviously it's never nice to concede a goal that early in the game and it was important that we didn't lose our heads and we didn't panic and we stuck to the game plan and I think the boys did that and we knew if we carried out the game plan there would be chances in the game and thankfully I took the first one away and after that it was a good game and we know it wasn't going to be an easy game today. They're a fantastic team, they've got some great players but I think it's a big statement that we left the three points today.
How did Tottenham turn the game around after a difficult start?
And your first goal really changed the pattern of the whole game, didn't it?
Yeah, I felt I was under a bit of pressure. You know, we knew that was going to start fast and, you know, it was important that, you know, we tried to soak in the pressure and stick to the game plan and get a goal. And like I said, it was a great ball in by Moussa and then, OK, I put it away.
Harry, the issue of you not scoring again for a game or two was raised going into this one. Was that the perfect response, that header just after half-time?
Yeah, definitely. Look, people have been talking about it for a while now. Whenever I go one or two games without scoring, it seems to be a big deal. But look, it shows where I'm at and the position I'm in. But look, I'm just trying to help my team. I try and score goals for the team and I was thankful to do that today.
Tell us what did happen with the penalty in the end.
No, obviously the ground just gave way under me. I see it before the game, it's like a new patch of grass just on the penalty spot. It's even more devastating that the keeper went the wrong way as well. I'll be probably thinking about that one tonight, but luckily Sonny and Dele finished the game off for us.
Well, let's go back to Dele for the second goal. That is 60 goals in 50 Premier League games. Not bad for a midfielder.
Sixty? Sixteen. Sixteen goals in 50 Premier League games. Yeah, like I say, we've got a fantastic team. If you make the runs, the balls are going to come in. And when you've got strikers like Cage to play off and get second balls and stuff like that, the chances are going to come. I think I could have had some more. I could have got Cage a few assists as well. But, yeah, like I say, I'm thankful to help the team.
Harry, it's Watford and Chelsea coming up next, isn't it? Do you feel you're beginning to build up some real momentum now?
What impact did Dele Alli's performance have on the match?
Yeah, that's what we said. I think after the Man United game we said we've got three or four winnable games that will put us right back in it if we do.
