GOAL! Southampton 1-1 Tottenham (KANE 41’)
This match has changed in a matter of moments! Great penalty from Kane to send Forster the wrong way, tucking the effort into the top left corner.
As I had eluded to just before, space behind the Southampton defence was being opened time and time again - Spurs just had to find the pass. Winks hit Son, and Salisu’s challenge has given Southampton an uphill task.
RED CARD AND PENALTY! Southampton 1-0 Tottenham
39 mins: And there it is. Winks plays in Son and Salisu brings him down in the box - a second yellow card for him and a penalty to Spurs.
Southampton 1-0 Tottenham
38 mins: Southampton are certainly living on the edge a bit. After Bednarek hauls down Kane on the halfway line, Salisu has to make a sliding challenge to stop a Winks ball through to Son. Hojbjerg then plays in Dele and Forster has to rush out to sweep clear.
Southampton 1-0 Tottenham
37 mins: Now Winks tries to hit Kane with a first-time pass into open space, but the ball hits the striker on the back of his foot and he burst clear.
Southampton 1-0 Tottenham
35 mins: Tottenham find Kane in space in his own half. He looks up to see Son sprinting away and plays a clever ball with the outside of his boot to find him. Son gets the ball stuck under his feet, which slows the break down, and it ends in him shooting straight at Forster from 20 yards.
Southampton 1-0 Tottenham
32 mins: Winks is furious after being pushed to the ground by Long - only for the free-kick to go the other way after he touched the ball with his hand. That rather sums up their afternoon so far - Southampton have made this an awkward test for Tottenham.
Southampton 1-0 Tottenham
29 mins: Kane keeps it low and away from the wall, but Forster is able to gather on his side.
On the balance of play, Southampton probably deserve their lead. They’d yet to test Lloris prior to Ward-Prowse’s strike, which is why it also felt as if their opener had come out of nowhere. Spurs need to improve.
Meanwhile, Hasenhuttl is booked by Anthony Taylor after complaining that a latest decision did not go his side’s way.
Southampton 1-0 Tottenham
28 mins: Chance for Spurs... Kane is standing over a free-kick 25 yards away from goal...
GOAL! Southampton 1-0 Tottenham (WARD-PROWSE 25’)
Stunner! What brilliant technique from the Southampton captain! The hosts heaved a long throw into the box - which wasn’t dealt with by Spurs - it broke to Ward-Prowse, left of centre, and he cut across the ball beautifully to send it past Lloris and into the far corner!
