Comments:

League position: 6th Following the sacking of José Mourinho, aged 29 years and 313 days, Ryan Mason became the youngest manager to take charge of a game in the Premier League. The previous record was held by Attilio Lombardo; Crystal Palace versus Aston Villa on 14 March 1998, aged 32 years and 67 days. Aged 31 years and 279 days, Gareth Bale became the first player who was older than his manager to score in the Premier League for Spurs since William Gallas (35 years and 64 days) under André Villas-Boas (35 years and three days) against Chelsea on 20 October 2012. [c/o Gracenote Live] They had now won 23 of their last 50 games in the Premier League (lost 15). SON Heung-min scored after 74 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision. Tottenham Hotspur were awarded a penalty after 88 minutes following a VAR review for a foul being committed inside the area.

Comments:

League position: 14th Southampton had now dropped 21 points from winning positions so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team. Excluding his loan spell at non-league Dorchester Town, Danny Ings scored his 100th career goal for club and country (44th in 96 appearances for the Saints). They had now lost 22 of their last 50 games in the Premier League (won 19).
