End of match

93'FT: Tottenham 4-1 Southampton! All over in North London and Tottenham fully deserved to win this one. Ward-Prowse gave Southampton the lead early on, but it was a very one-sided contest. Sessegnon and Dier made it 2-1 before half-time and then a Salisu own goal and Kulusevski goal meant it finished 4-1. The Saints were never in the game to be honest and it was an easy win for the home side. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
