Spurs 3-1 Southampton - match spotlight

The wide man had a hand in all three of our goals, all of which came in the first half, as we produced a dominant display in the opening 45 minutes.

Oduwa himself unleashed a rocket for the first before seeing his dangerous cross turned into his own net by defender Alfie Jones two minutes later. The former Peterborough United loanee’s determination to win the ball then led to Shilow Tracey's third on the stroke of half-time.

Goalkeeper Tom Glover, a bystander in the first period, saved Ryan Seager's penalty shortly before the hour mark and although the Saints striker tucked in the rebound to reduce the arrears, we stayed organised - albeit without creating too many chances in the last 25 minutes - to see out a valuable win that edges us away from the lower reaches of the table.
