Tottenham thrash Southampton 4-1 in premier league encounter
– Tamarauemi Ebimini
Tottenham delivered on their pre-season hype by thrashing Southampton 4-1 during the English Premier League football match on Saturday.
Tottenham had a dream start to the campaign to raise hopes they could compete for a first league title in 61 years.
Spurs also fell behind to James Ward-Prowse’s strike from the edge of the box after just 12 minutes, but the response from Antonio Conte’s men was emphatic.
The goals to turn the game around before half-time came from unlikely sources as Ryan Sessegnon and Eric Dier headed home.
Mohammed Salisu then passed the ball into his own net for a comical own goal on the hour mark.
Dejan Kulusevski rounded off the scoring with a cool and precise finish into the far corner to take Spurs above Arsenal at the top of the table
