What were the key moments in the Southampton vs Tottenham match?
To make it more difficult for Spurs to defend this one now, And they don't defend it. And who heads home for number 99 in the Premier League? Harry Kane equalises straightaway for Spurs. Well, that goes down as a really hard-earned point for Southampton against a side with top four aspirations. He was the man of the match today. Good performance too from Ryan Bertrand, both with Patrick Davison.
Guys, well played. You might have won it, but with all eyes on you and pressure on the club and the manager, do you feel like you stepped up today?
Yeah, I think we did. I think we started the game very well. I think the second half for us recently had been a bit of a downfall. We knew it was a big second half. We couldn't win the game, but we showed resilience in the second half and got a good point.
Ryan, you looked absolutely shattered as you dragged your body into this interview room.
How did Southampton manage to earn a point against Spurs?
What was it like to play on that pitch in those conditions?
Yeah, very heavy, you know, where the rain don't help. Fast tempo game, end to end, you know, both teams going for the win. We're just pleased to come away from the point. Kind of an old school game, wasn't it? It was indeed, but we have to just scrap it out. We have to analyse, you know, when you look at our remaining fixtures, which games we want to win and which games, you know, we slightly be the underdogs. And today was a bonus point on that journey.
You made the goal. Do you feel like you had a lot of joy down that side, particularly in the first half?
Yeah, definitely. I think they hold quite a high line and I think if you time your runs right... You can break it quite easily if they don't have the right press, so I was trying to be smart and turn the runs.
James, did you think you'd made a goal as well with that beautiful ball you swung in for Jack Stephens towards the end of the first half?
Yeah, it was a close one.
What impact did the pitch conditions have on the game?
All you can do is put the ball there and hope someone's on the end of it. It was a good contact by Jack, but maybe on another day those sort of ones go in.
I mentioned in the first question you're a team in a club, you have been under pressure. You look very much, though, like a group playing for your manager. Is that how it is?
Yeah, we just have to keep fighting. We know the situation's not the greatest that we're in, but when we're not playing well, the basics are that we have to give everything with our spirit and our determination, and I think we did that today. Like I said, we've come away with a valuable point.
Ryan, did dropping into the relegation zone yesterday have any effect today? Did it sharpen the focus a little?
No, I think you look at it, it's relegation zone, but it's all tight. You know, just a little bit of consistency. You know, two back-to-back wins and you'll be right up there, you know, nearly in the top half. So we're not looking at that, we're just looking at our fixtures. We know what we have to win, which games are bonus points, and we'll just keep ticking them off nicely.
How did Harry Kane's performance influence the match outcome?
OK, well, if you've got the energy, there's a Premier League Man of the Match award to hand out to James.
Thank you, mate. Well done.
It is so tight in that bottom half, just four points off 10th Southampton, despite the fact they are still in the bottom three. Spurs with 17 attempts to the Saints' 10, but Southampton with twice as many on target, both of those from Spurs, coming in the first half. add more of the ball as well, 59% of possession, 150 more passes than Southampton, who went direct twice as often as Tottenham. Tottenham causing problems from crosses as well today, 16 to Southampton's 10. Did they look, Jermaine Defoe, like two tired sides at the end there?
I think the conditions didn't help us, to be honest, you know, heavy pitch. And even towards the end when we saw the chances at both ends, you know, where players were taking the extra touch to finish probably on another day where the pitch was better, you know, instinctively you just hit. I think particularly with Lamella's chance, when he took a touch, he should have probably just helped it on Bafal as well when he took the extra touch when he got into the box.
