Southampton are a shambles, but they should've had a pen.
Spurs get away with one.

Shouldnt that be a penalty?
Lol, how is that not a pen for Southampton.
how can the ref miss that
Well that was a much clearer penalty.
Spurs have ridiculous luck with refs
If that was at the other end Alli would be taking his 2nd pen
Alderweireld, I'd agree, he's been the best defender in the league this season. However, Vertonghen, like David Luiz for Chelsea, is benefitting from the system allowing him to play his natural, aggressive defending style. He's frequently tasked with closing down 1 player, and if he fails, he knows that Alderweireld is there to cover for him.
In general you're right. Dele Alli is special though.
That was a hundred times more of a pen than Alli's ever was.
That was a pen, this game was over once Gabbiadini went off.
How can a car present the half time show?
Well, might be better than most of the pundits

Got lucky at the end there, deffo pen
Nevermind, not even complaining. It's Spurs. They always get lucky with the referee.
He really is. His movement and understanding of in-game situations is great to watch, and on the ball, he has great technique and good finishing.
To be fair if he'd have rested Kane when they played Millwall he wouldn't be injured right now.
Pochettino has a good charm on full backs. Walker, Rose, Shaw, Clyne......even Davies is looking reasonably competent now.
Yeah, that wasn't what I was getting at.
I know you won't agree with me but I still think you will make top 4, you guys always do it. I never expect you to lose to West Brom, thought you would get a draw at the very least but its not shocking anyway. This international break couldn't come at a better time for you. You guys do well when there are no expectations. I reckon you will go on a winning run after the international break and beat Spurs in the run-in.Absolutely no chance. They are gonna finish above us for sure.
I just saw Spurs' first chance of the game again, the Son Heung-Min miss. Why didn't Yoshida play Son offside there? That's not the first time I see that happening, too. Very few defenders try to play Son offside. Way too often do I notice defenders following him rather than maintaining their defensive line.
Also, I just saw that Southampton penalty shout. That's a clear penalty, and I'm surprised that it wasn't given.

I must be missing something. What were you getting at?
spurs are one of those irritating teams who just keep getting results. it's a bit concerning how much better they're becoming season after season. kudos to pochettino, he's obviously got that something which majority of special managers possess. hopefully real madrid come in for him
What is it with spurs and penalties
Southampton getting undone by the ref so far, penalty not given and Dier should have been a red not a yellow, he was high off the ground and was endangering an opponent as clear red as you could see all season.
I really don't know. More teams to catch and more teams who are as good as you or even better this season, plus the whole mood at Arsenal is toxic.
I think it was even red for Dier here. Clear chance.
Southampton's defence always drops too deep whenever Spurs advance into the final third. There's always so much space for someone to receive the ball at the edge of the box.
Stranger things have happened. They only pipped us to 4th last season on GD don't forget after their blistering start. I would rather have a chance of chasing down two teams than just one. They do tend to drop points in silly games like us so you never know.
Anyway, I'm rooting for a draw or a Liverpool win.
2-1!
Southampton back in this.

Son Heung-Min's done a decent job of playing up front and filling in for Kane. He's kept himself high up the pitch and allowed Eriksen/Alli to drop into the spaces that they like to occupy. Plus, his link-up play's been pretty good.
Every time Son goes forward, Southampton's defensive line drops deeper, and he's done a good job of stretching Southampton's shape.

Need a late Saints equaliser.
Son misses a good chance to make it 3-1.
Always liked JWP
Good work by Southampton, but that was poor by Toby. Why did he try to control that? He should have kicked that away!
That's what Southampton need to continue doing. They need to keep pushing forward and testing theSouthampton Spurs defence.

Spurs dropping points would put the cat amongst the pigeons...
Son should have buried that
