Southampton 1-1 Tottenham
84 mins: Brilliant defender from Walker-Peters to throw himself at a Spurs shot and head clear. It takes him a moment to get up but it rather sums up the last-ditch nature of some of Southampton’s defending. They’re hanging on.
Southampton 1-1 Tottenham
82 mins: Chance! Davies’ cross from the left is headed clear by Bednarek and lands at the feet of Hojbjerg. He scoops a pass forward to Kane, who thrashes a half-volley at Forster’s near post! He might have been offside anyway, but Kane wanted the ball to be played first time from the Denmark international.
Southampton 1-1 Tottenham
79 mins: A lovely first touch from Gil! He picks up possession on the right and ghosts onto his left foot before picking out Son, whose header is straight at Forster.
Gil goes onto his right foot on his next touch but can’t squeeze in a cut-back from the byline.
Southampton 1-1 Tottenham
76 mins: Ward-Prowse’s delivery drops in a dangerous area but Emerson is there to clear. Hojbjerg then had a chance to play the ball forward to Son or Lucas but he shanks it.
Winks has quietly had an excellent game, in the Southampton half at least, and picks out Doherty with another clever pass but the wing-back can’t keep his effort down.
Gil comes on for Emerson in Conte’s final change - the Spaniard will go out to a right wing position.
Southampton 1-1 Tottenham
73 mins: Time is ticking for Spurs as a ball towards Emerson is guided out of play by Forster. Bryan Gil will be their final change. At the other end, Broja runs at Davies and wins a corner.
Southampton 1-1 Tottenham
69 mins: Chance! It’s Doherty vs Forster part II after lovely play from Son to find the over-lapping full-back. Doherty looked a little uncomfortable having the chance on the opposite side and tried to poke the ball past the goalkeeper with his right foot, when an experienced forward would have gone for a lifted finish. Forster stood strong and made the block with his legs.
Southampton make their first change as Broja replaces Long.
Southampton 1-1 Tottenham
67 mins: NO GOAL! Should this have stood? Winks flights a high ball into the box and Forster spills under pressure from Doherty. It goes through his legs and bobbles into the net, but the referee had already blown for a foul on the goalkeeper. There was very little contact from Doherty but Forster has gotten away with it.
Southampton 1-1 Tottenham
65 mins: That’s a bit better from Spurs. Winks plays Son in to the byline with a clever pass inside. Kane was waiting for the cut-back but Bednarek got across well. It should have been a corner but a goal-kick is awarded.
Southampton 1-1 Tottenham
62 mins: Second change of the afternoon for Spurs - and an attacking one at that. Dele Alli is replaced by Lucas Moura, who was brilliant in the 3-0 win over Palace on Boxing Day.
