Comments:

League position: 13th Southampton had now scored one goal in nine of 19 games in the Premier League in 2021-22 (none in five of the other ten). The Saints remained without a win in their final league game of a year since 2010 against Huddersfield Town in League One (lost five). James Ward-Prowse had now scored in three consecutive appearances in the Premier League for the first time since March 2019.

Comments:

League position: 6th Antonio Conte became the first manager to remain unbeaten after their first seven league games in charge of Tottenham Hotspur (won four). This Spurs' first away game in Premier League away since their visit to Everton on 7 November 2021 (51 days); excluding the Covid lockdown, it became the longest gap in away games within the same season in the competition's history. An opposition player had now been sent-off in each of their last three games in the Premier League. Harry Kane scored after 53 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
