All the goals as Tottenham’s Kane, Alli & Son dismantle Southampton
Wednesday’s Barclays Premier League meeting between Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur sees Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino return to his old club looking to get one over The Saints. He has also mentioned that the six teams are in the title race this year. “He has recovered now and we’re hopeful he will be available”, Pochettino said at a pre-match press conference.
“We can not stop rumours, and we can not confirm every time whether rumours are true or otherwise”.
The woodwork came to the home team’s rescue on 71 minutes when Rose’s cross picked out Eriksen, who took one touch before crashing his shot against the crossbar, while the left-back fired wide of the near post moments later after running onto the Dane’s ball over the top of the defence.
“If we compare it with last season, at this point we have four more points than last season but we are fifth and last season we were fourth”.
“We started with a very good opening 25 minutes”.
“My opinion was it was a foul but one thing we can not change was that we won the game and we fully deserved the victory”. Hopefully, we can put that run to a stop.
Alli went to ground easily to win a penalty over Swansea at the start of the month but Pochettino is sure that Harry the Hornet will behave himself at Vicarage Road on Sunday.
“They always have the same philosophy, an attacking-minded philosophy, and they want to dominate games and beat their opponents”.
“After yesterday’s result (Liverpool’s 4-1 win over Stoke) and the others (on Monday), when the big teams won, it was very important for us to win the game for our belief”, Pochettino said.
“For me from the bench it was just two players fighting for the ball and the red card changed the game”, he said. We finish the year in very good condition more than 70 points (for the calendar year), and now we look ahead and try to win the next game.
Remembering the previous 2-1 defeat the current league leaders, The Spurs striker has mentioned that Chelsea did their best on that they.
By doing this, Pochettino runs the risk of fielding a exhausted unit at White Hart Lane when Antonio Conte and company visit.
Pochettino will hope that Alli adds to his goal haul at Watford on New Year’s Day and that Spurs are able to bank their sixth victory in seven games.
“We have been scoring a lot of goals recently, we feel confident, to score four here is a good achievement”.
