Comments:

League position: 3rd None of Tottenham Hotspur's last 19 games in the Premier League had ended in a draw (won 14); the longest current such run in the division. Spurs had now kept one clean sheet in their last seven home games in the Premier League. Harry Kane had now scored seven goals in his last six appearances against Southampton in the Premier League. It was his 31st goal in 46 appearances for club and country at Wembley Stadium.

Comments:

League position: 18th Southampton were now without a win in their last 11 games in the Premier League (losing six). The Saints had now conceded three or more goals in three consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2018. Prior to the appointment of new manager Ralph Hasenhüttl, Kelvin Davis took caretaker charge for this game. Departing boss Mark Hughes won three of his 22 games in the Premier League.
