December 29, 2021 10-Man Southampton Hold Tottenham To A 1-1 Draw

10-Man Southampton Hold Tottenham To A 1-1 Draw

After being held by a Southampton team that played for more than 50 minutes with 10 men, Antonio Conte says Tottenham must “improve a lot” and it “won’t be simple to fight for something this season.”

Spurs were 1-0 down at St Mary’s as James Ward-Prowse darted over a bouncing ball and volleyed a twisting goal past Frenchman, Hugo Lloris.

However, the game was thrown into disarray for the Saints when Mohammed Salisu fouled Son Heung-min in the box, earning him a second booking in 12 minutes and allowing Harry Kane to equalize from the penalty spot.

Conte said after becoming the first manager in Tottenham’s history to go undefeated in his first seven league games, “My demands are extremely high because I am used to being competitive and to win – and, for sure, there is a tremendous disappointment for me when we don’t win.”

“We need to improve a lot. For sure it was an opportunity that we missed. When you have this type of situation you have to try to exploit, to try to get three points.”

Southampton boss, Ralph Hasenhuttl made six changes from his side’s Boxing Day win at West Ham, and Kyle Walker-Peters represented his side’s grit and resilience in the second half, leaping to deflect a header away from Kane before taking a Ben Davies shot straight in the face.

Armando Broja robbed Tottenham defender Eric Dier before firing over in injury time, sparing Spurs more misery on a day when they could have taken more.

Southampton, who have only been beaten at home by Wolves all season, earned a point to move up to 13th in the rankings.

 Leicester Defeat Liverpool As Salah Has Penalty Saved

Leicester defeated Liverpool 1-0, leaving the Reds six points off the top of the Premier League table. Ademola Lookman scored the game’s only goal.

The Reds’ best chance came in the first half, when Mohamed Salah had a penalty saved by Kasper Schmeichel in the 15th minute and then headed the rebound over the bar.

After that, Sadio Mane wasted a few chances for Jurgen Klopp’s side until the hosts made them pay in the 59th minute.

With only his fourth touch after coming on, former Everton attacker Lookman received Kiernan Dewsbury-pass Hall’s in his stride, beat Joel Matip, and rifled a shot past Alisson – Leicester’s sole shot on target.

Leicester held on against late Liverpool pressure despite missing numerous first-team players – just six days after blowing a 3-1 lead to lose on penalties to the same opponents in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

Liverpool are now six points behind Manchester City after their second defeat of the season, while Leicester, who have won only two of their seven games, have moved up to ninth place.

If Pep Guardiola’s City win Brentford and Chelsea at least draw with Brighton on Wednesday, the Reds may finish third in 2021, nine points behind the leaders.
