Tottenham Hotspur defender Davinson Sanchez inadvertently gave Southampton the lead in the 15th minute of Sunday's clash between the two sides after the Colombian turned the ball into his own net.

Southampton were rewarded for their early pressure as Sanchez failed to successfully clear a cross by Ryan Bertrand from the left-hand side, instead turning it into the back of his net.

It was far from the ideal start for 'Spurs' and the 21-year-old looked visibly upset, but he needn't have worried as Harry Kane equalised 197 seconds later for Tottenham in an entertaining first-half at St. Mary's.
