Southampton are camped inside their own half at the moment, they can't get on the ball and get any breathing space right now. Just a minute or so remaining.
90' +2
C. Eriksen gets yellow.
Excellent chasing down by Long! It seemed to be a hopeless ball over the top of the Tottenham defence, but the striker made sure he chased it down and forced Gazzaniga to lash the ball into the stands.
Eriksen is the latest player to be booked.
90'

Third and final Southampton substitution, with Armstrong replaced by Romeu.

Good challenge! Stephens tackles Lamela just inside the Tottenham half, just as he was about to release Moura in-behind. Really important tackle.

The first yellow card of the game is shown to Lo Celso, after he tries to get the referee to show a yellow card to a Saints player after a foul.

34'
When Tottenham are on the ball in the Saints half, the hosts are getting everyone back behind the ball, making it difficult for Spurs to break them down.

It was a lovely chipped ball up from the back by Stephens, who got in-behind the Spurs defence and then produced a lovely turn and finish.
GOOOAAALLL! Ings opens the scoring and Southampton lead 1-0! The striker produces a wonderful flick over Alderweireld, sending the defender the wrong way and Ings then volleys the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the net. Gazzaniga was rooted to the spot, he had no chance of saving that.
16'
The game isn't flowing at the moment, with possession switching between the teams as they both make a few sloppy passes and cheap fouls.
