Taken by the throat by the good aggressiveness of Southampton after half an hour, Tottenham turned the tables on a fact of play. Penalty, goal and red card for Southampton, which saw its efforts go up in smoke. The Spurs resumed the game on their own in the last minutes.
Mohammed Salisu receives a second yellow card synonymous with expulsion. The Southampton defender does not even protest and returns to the locker room.
Well served in depth by Hojbjerg, Heung-Min Son takes the ball into the area before being mowed down by Mohammed Salisu. Indisputable penalty for Tottenham.
New rapid attack by Spurs. Kane played vertical until Heung-Min Son, who took advantage of Reguilon’s support to progress with the ball. At 20 meters, he tries his luck from the left halfway up. It’s picked up by Forster.
Harry Kane starts a block with a long right-sided ball for Dele Alli. Salisu is caught up in speed but Forster comes out of his cages to clear into touch.
Free kick for Tottenham full axis at more than 20 meters. Harry Kane takes his chance at law. Fraser Forster is not trapped by the rebound and stops the ball.
Long throw for the Saints on the left side, performed by Salisu. Tottenham emerges badly at the near post. In the area, James Ward-Prowse does not ask a question and arms a half-volley from the left which deceives Hugo Lloris on his left.
The Spurs have raised the tone a little but Southampton does not back down, on the contrary. Clever deviation from Shane Long for Adam Armstrong on the left side. Dier must come and play firefighters to relieve Tottenham.
Free kick for Tottenham left side at 25 meters. Heung-Min Son’s cross was headed by Ben Davies and ended up in the net. The Welsh defender does not even celebrate, as soon as he is flagged offside.
Kane picks up and directs the game by lying towards Reguilon on the left side. Walker-Peters, caught up in speed, holds back the Spaniard who collapses. Logical warning.
Harry Kane clears Salisu in the center circle, avoids the tackle from Bednarek but pushes his deep pass too much for Dele Alli in the axis. Forster steps forward and picks up the ball.
Difficult for Tottenham to hold the ball, unlike Southampton. Diallo shifts Valery, in a hurry to try his luck from afar by his supporters. The defender arms a right strike from more than 20 meters. Clearly next to it.
Highlight for the Saints. Walker-Peters provokes right side, overflows Reguilon into the box and crosses at the far post. Adam Armstrong misses his head a bit, easily picked up by Hugo Lloris.
On the right, Walker-Peters delivers a good cross at the penalty spot. Shane Long is a bit short of the header and only grazes the ball. He was offside anyway.
Note that the Saints are articulated in 5-3-2, with Romain Perraud on the left and Kyle Walker-Peters on the right. A formation a little stuck on the 3-4-3 of Tottenham.
Attacking midfielder Dele Alli is preferred over Lucas Moura to support Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son in attack. Winks accompanies Hojbjerg in the middle. Bryan Gil and Tanguy Ndombélé are on substitutes.
Le 11 of Tottenham: Lloris – B. Davies, Dier, D. Sanchez – Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Winks, Emerson – Alli – Son, Kane
Southampton with Perraud and Ward-Prowse, without Walcott
Small surprise among the Saints: the French Romain Perraud holds the left side in the middle, a sign that Southampton is playing it safe. England international James Ward-Prows is there in the middle. Oriol Romeu and Theo Walcott are on the bench.
Southampton 11: Forster – Walker-Peters, Salisu, Bednarek, Valery –
Perraud, I. Diallo, Ward-Prowse, S. Arstrmong – A. Arstrmong, S. Long
The Spurs are unbeaten in the Premier League since the arrival of Antonio Conte as coach (4 wins, 2 draws). If they win their three games late, they will move up to 4th in the standings and will be only 3 points from the podium and Chelsea.
After a series of six games without a win, the Saints went to win at West Ham last Sunday (2-3). 14th, they are nine points ahead of the first relegation, Burnley, but have also played three more games …
