Two first-half goals gave Tottenham the edge over a determined Southampton side as the home side recorded a 10th successive league win at White Hart Lane -- a club record in the Premier League era. Spurs took the lead through Christian Eriksen, who scored with a well-directed shot from outside the area, then doubled the advantage when Dele Alli won and converted a soft penalty. It looked as if they would win at a canter but Southampton reduced the deficit through James Ward-Prowse.
Positives
If you can't be victorious by playing beautiful football, then winning ugly is the next best thing.
