Match Events
26' GOAL! Southampton 0-1 Tottenham (Kane)
Spurs have been on top and the pressure has told. Alli plays a deft dink to Kane on the right side of the box.
The striker takes a touch which nearly sees the angle close on him, but he manages to squeeze it through and find the bottom corner.
Alli's lofted ball in behind for Kane was well-weighted and carved the Southampton defence open superbly.
76' GOAL! Southampton 1-1 Tottenham (Valery)
Armstrong gets behind Sanchez and fizzes a low ball across the area that three Tottenham players fail to clear and Valery scuffs the ball over the diving Lloris!
Substitute Armstrong gets beyond Sanchez with excellent movement and his low ball somehow finds Valery at the far post!
81' GOAL! Southampton 2-1 Tottenham (Ward-Prowse)
Spurs have been on top almost throughout the game, but Ward-Prowse's excellent free-kick has inspired an unlikely turnaround!
It's a wonderful effort, right into the top-left corner and out of the reach of the diving Lloris!
Match Report
Tottenham have now gone four games without a win in the Premier League following a 2-1 defeat to Southampton at St Mary's Stadium.
Harry Kane's first-half goal looked likely to give the visitors all three points, as Mauricio Pochettino, serving a two-game touchline ban for confronting referee Mike Dean after losing to Burnley two weeks ago, watched from the stands.
But Yan Valery, who scored his first senior goal against Manchester United last week, scrambled home an equaliser with 14 minutes of normal time left before James Ward-Prowse's stunning free-kick snatched the win.
