Goals from Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli were enough to secure all three Premier League points at the Lane yesterday.
Spurs 2-1 Saints Match Stats
Highlights
Player Ratings
Hugo Lloris 6
Made a couple of routine saves – fluffed a second-half Shane Long effort. As usual, bossed his defence about.
Jan Vertonghen 7
Kept the Saints waves of attack at bay. Solid at the back – sound as a pound (prior to Brexit referendum).
Tough but very important 3 points before the international break 🙌🏼 #THFC #COYS pic.twitter.com/lJ73tozn3q

Toby Alderweireld 6
Had a header superbly saved by Forster and would have received a 7 but his failed clearance allowed Ward-Prowse to get one back.
Is that a hair out of place? 😲 pic.twitter.com/1AVIqpN3w6

Eric Dier 5.5
Did okay – nothing to write home about.
Ben Davies 6
Looked comfortable, once or twice shaken but not stirred.
Good to grind out the win!! 👊 #3points #COYS pic.twitter.com/IhqLFC99dP

Kyle Walker 7
Won the battles with Bertrand and Nathan Redmond and almost won the war. Next time Kyle.
Big three points. Thanks for all the messages, I’m ok!! Looking forward to joining up with @England now #COYS pic.twitter.com/zriypwR50H

Victor Wanyama 8
Took control of the midfield. Fantastic fitness levels, took no prisoners.

Mousa Dembele 7
Looked cool as a cucumber next to Dembele. Kept his head down and concentrated at the task at hand.
Christian Eriksen 8.5
MotM: Banged in the opening goal, spot on overall performance – Oozed machismo.
🏅 @ChrisEriksen8 scoops your man of the match award for his goal and performance in our 2-1 against Southampton. 🏅 #COYS pic.twitter.com/qsaIuhMyZV

Dele Alli 8
Netted in his fourth game in a row, 17th this season. Master-class display alongside Eroksen. Just missed out on MotM.
Important 3 points well earned today, happy to score my pen. Now time for international duty 😄⚽️ pic.twitter.com/aG5bm8Vy8l

Son Heung-Min 6
Unlucky to see an early effort saved – couple of other opportunities. Did okay.
Harry Winks 6
(For Son 75)
Kieran Tripper
(For Walker 78 – not on long enough to score).
(For Eriksen 86 – not on long enough to score).
