Ten men Southampton draw with Spurs
Ten men Southampton draw with Spurs
Antonio Conte says Tottenham will have to “improve a lot” and it “won’t be easy to fight for something this season”
after they were held by a Southampton side who played for more than 50 minutes with 10 men.
Spurs fell behind at St Mary’s when James Ward-Prowse cut across a bouncing ball to volley a swerving shot past
Hugo Lloris for a superb opener.
Spurs twice had the ball in the net after the break, with Kane seeing a strike ruled out by VAR for a narrow offside and Southampton
goalkeeper Fraser Forster spared own-goal blushes when it was judged he was fouled by Matt Doherty.
If anything, Spurs simply took too long to build momentum with their one-man advantage, and Southampton beaten only by
Wolves at home in the league this season – ground out a point to move to 13th in the table.
