SOUTHAMPTON 2-5 Tottenham Jose Mourinho aimed to avoid losing their second game of the league when they visited Saint Mary’s stadium. Off the pitch, Tottenham were buoyed by bringing old-boy Gareth Bale back to North London, albeit for a season-long loan alongside left-back Reguilon from Madrid. The early exchanges were marred with drama with the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) correctly ruling out a goal apiece for the sides. Late in the first half, Ings scored and Kane assisted Son for an equaliser leaving the sides tied 1-1 at the break. Whatever Mourinho told his charges seemed to work miracles as Harry Kane set up three more goals for Son allowing the South Korean to net FOUR goals in the tie with Kane scoring one more to make Ings late penalty a mere consolation as Spurs won 5-2 against Southampton to give them their first three points of the campaign while Southampton lost their second match in as many attempts.
