Two players became the star of Tottenham Hotspur’s victory. Both are Son Heung-min and Harry Kane. The first name scored four goals, aka quattrick. Meanwhile, the second name contributed four assists.
At the start of the match, Spurs actually started the match well. The visitors scored an early goal through Harry Kane in the third minute thanks to Matt Doherty’s header.
However, referee David Coote stopped the match to review the goal via VAR. Kane’s goal was disallowed.
Southampton who was depressed at the start of the match then kicked off. They got a number of opportunities, such as through Che Adams’ hard shot which Hugo Lloris was able to push out.
Danny Ings was even able to thrill the Spurs goal in the 16th minute, but it was ruled out because the striker was caught handball during a duel with Lloris.
After the incident, Southampton took the lead through Danny Ings in the 32nd minute who took advantage of Kyle Walker-Peters’ pass.
Tottenham could only score a goal to equalize in the 45 + 2 minute through Son Heung Min who took advantage of Kane’s assist.

Towards the end of the match, Southampton reduced the position to 2-5 through a Danny Ings penalty in the 90th minute.
The four goals scored by Son Heung Min against Southampton were the first with Tottenham Hotspur.
Previously Tottenham Hotspur coach Jose Mourinho only laughed at the “crazy” schedule his team had to face. Harry Kane et al have the opportunity to play nine matches in 22 days. This is a consequence of Tottenham who qualify for the Europa League through the qualifying round.
Apart from the Europa League and English League matches, Tottenham are also busy with playing schedules in the League Cup. Yesterday Tottenham won over Bulgarian club Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the Europa League and this weekend will have to face Southampton.
In the next two weeks Tottenham’s schedule is even crazier, which is to play five matches. Tottenham will have to serve Leyton Orient in the League Cup before flying to Macedonia 48 hours later in the Europa League in midweek.
Then they have been waiting for Newcastle United two days later. If they qualify for the Orient challenge, Tottenham will meet Chelsea two days after playing Newcastle.
Tottenham still have the chance to play one more Europa League qualifier before wrapping up a busy week against Manchester United.
“To be honest I hope to finish all nine matches in 22 days.
It means I don’t want to fail in the Europa League and League Cup.
But the person making the schedule has forgotten an English team, not Tottenham, it could be another team, or it could be Tottenhan, or Wolves and Sheffield United.
They forget that this kind of situation could have been avoided, “said Mourinho.
“It’s a joke, it’s a joke, but we’ll face it. Yesterday flew to Bulgaria, tomorrow faced Southampton and then flew to Macedonia … and so on.
It’s very dramatic, but I want to keep fighting as much as possible, “he added.
The former Real Madrid and Manchester United coach said his side had no other choice.
On the one hand the schedule is very busy, on the other hand Tottenham want to be involved as far as possible in these tournaments.
According to him, what can be done is to give players the opportunity to make a recovery.
The reason is that the rest period is very short, it is very unlikely that his team will make a match plan as usual.
