Tottenham’s top 3 games of 2016

Tottenham beat Southampton 4-1 at St Mary’s on Wednesday to keep the pressure on the top four going into the final round of fixtures in 2016.

Spurs fell behind to Virgil van Dijk’s header just two minutes into the contest, but they hit back 17 minutes later when Dele Alli headed home Moussa Sissoko’s cross.

Striker Harry Kane thundered a header past Fraser Forster to give Mauricio Pochettino’s side the lead seven minutes after the break, and Spurs task became slightly easier when Nathan Redmond was harshly sent off for bringing down Alli.

Kane missed the resulting penalty, but late goals from Son Heung-min and Alli secured a tenth win of the season for Tottenham, who remain in fifth but are now just a point behind North London rivals Arsenal in fourth.

Pochettino’s side have won their last three league games, and go into their clash with league leaders Chelsea next week confident of recording victory over Antonio Conte’s men.
