– Southampton scored two late goals to grab a tense 3-2 victory against Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday.

– Mohamed Elyounoussi and Che Adams stunned the Spurs defence in the final 11 minutes, turning the game around after Son Heung-Min looked to have grabbed the winner for the hosts on 70 minutes.

– Southampton were the better team in the first half and trailed through a 19th-minute own goal from Jan Bednarek which had put Antonio Conte’s side ahead against the run of play. Armando Broja equalised just four minutes later before Son put the hosts back in front.
