It was a rip-roaring post-Christmas encounter from the first whistle to the last, Virgil van Dijk heading the Saints in front after less than 85 seconds on the south coast following a free-kick given away by Victor Wanyama on his return to his former club.
But we turned it around through Dele Alli on 19 minutes and Harry Kane early in the second half – also both with headers – before a crucial moment arrived just before the hour mark.
Nathan Redmond was given his marching orders for hauling back Dele on the counter-attack, giving away a penalty in the process.
