Tottenham vs. Southampton: Score, Reaction from 2016 Premier League Match

A Steven Davis double led Southampton to a 2-1 victory at White Hart Lane on Sunday, as Tottenham Hotspur’s poor end to the season continued with their third consecutive match without a win. 

Heung-Min Son fired the north Londoners ahead after 16 minutes following a mazy run in front of the Saints goal, but a Southampton resurgence saw manager Ronald Koeman’s side clinch all three points.

Defeat means Spurs have gone three Premier League games without a win for the first time in 2016, leaving them just three points ahead of third-placed Arsenal, who travel to fourth-placed Manchester City later on Sunday.

The Telegraph highlighted that even if the Gunners triumph at the Etihad Stadium, however, goal difference still runs firmly in Spurs’ favour:

If the Spurs score stays like this, 2nd place is in Arsenal’s hands. They just need to win 14-0.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino saw his men take an upper hand in possession from the first whistle on Sunday, and Son made it count early on after embarrassing the Southampton defence.

Goalkeeper Fraser Forster was just one of the Saints who fell as the South Korean dragged the ball to the right byline before cutting back in front of goal to fire home. The Mirror provided an alternative take on Son’s mazy run:
