'You're just a **** Pochettino" sing the Saints supporters to Jose.

Miss! Oh my, that is a real sitter. Eriksen's cross is flicked on to the unmarked Vertonghen at the far post but, on the stretch, he blazes it high into the stands!

Great chance! An uncomfortable moment for McCarthy as he spills a tame shot from Kane. Alli pounces on the rebound but the Saints goalkeeper gathers himself quickly to take the ball from his feet. Spurs feel Alli was tripped but after a VAR check only a corner is given.

Yellow card! Alli is tripped by Hojbjerg, who somehow escapes a yellow card. Instead, Mike Dean brandishes the booking to Lo Celso who was complaining that he hadn't shown the Saints player a yellow card.

Chance! Saints are actively targeting Spurs down the right-hand flank where Armstrong is terrorising the defenders. He skips easily past Vertonghen, crosses for Redmond at the near post and fortunately for Spurs Alderweireld is alert to the danger, making a hugely important block.

Southampton have kept just one clean sheet in 22 of Hasenhuttl's home games in charge so there's hope for Spurs.

Block! There's an opening for Lo Celso on the edge of the penalty area but Bertrand races across to make a vital intervention.

Shot! Ward-Prowse deliver a corner, Sessegnon's poor attempted clearance is pounced on by Armstrong who fires wide from the edge of the penalty area.

Injury! Ndombele goes down after taking a knock and this is far from ideal, he's going to be replaced by Lo Celso.

No penalty! Alli fumes as another appeal for a spot-kick is ignored. Bertrand leans into him and the playmaker goes down much too easily.

It's a year to the exact day Spurs kept a clean sheet - in a 3-0 win over Cardiff. That's incredible, really, isn't it?
21'
Eriksen takes the corner, too, curling it to the far post, but it's well defended by Saints. Ings is having a storming game. He's back helping out, holding the ball up and relieving the pressure.
20'
Moura is fouled by Armstrong and with the resulting free-kick, Eriksen wins a corner.

What a season Danny Ings is having. He's score more than 50 per cent of Southampton's goals this season. And what about Tottenham's defending? Shambolic, again. Alderweireld was badly exposed.

GOAL! Southampton 1-0 Tottenham (Ings): That man Ings scores again! He takes his 13th league goal of the season fantastically well, latching onto a ball over the top, flicking it over the head of Aldeweireld and fires it into the bottom corner, past a helpless Gazzaniga.
