Tottenham beat Southampton 4-1

Southampton came flying out the blocks and took the lead in the 12th minute, as Moussa Djenepo clipped a byline cross to Ward-Prowse, who finished in style.

Spurs were soon level, though, with Sessegnon on hand at the far post to head in Kulusevski’s inviting cross.

The hosts’ dominance paid dividends with a second 10 minutes later – Son Heung-min the provider as his delivery was headed in by Dier.

With Spurs in full flow, Ben Davies tested Gavin Bazunu from distance and Son drilled over after dancing through Southampton’s defence.

Any threat of a Southampton comeback was quelled in the second half, with Salisu diverting Emerson Royal’s cross into his own net.

Having teed up Spurs’s equaliser and generally proving a menace throughout, Kulusevski grabbed a deserved goal of his own just after the hour, cutting inside and sweeping home a left-footed shot to wrap up a statement victory for Conte.
