Striker and Substitutes

6. Gabbiadini cut an isolated figure up front for large parts of the clash, but flashes of quality let Saints fans know that the Italian has not lost his scoring touch – he just needs more game time.. Striker. Southampton. MANOLO GABBIADINI

Southampton. SOFIANE BOUFAL. 6. Boufal came on for Hojbjerg with 25 minutes remaining, but failed to stamp his authority on the game when he couldn’t capitalise on a great opening in Spurs’ defence. Looked dangerous and direct nevertheless.. Attacking Midfield

6. Davis provided fresh legs to ease Spurs’ pressure and did his job well.  Came on for Lemina on 80 minutes.. Holding Midfield. Southampton. STEVEN DAVIS

6. Obafemi made his Southampton debut and could have become an instant hero when he made a darting run into the Spurs box, but he couldn’t quite get a decisive touch on Tadic’s cross.. Striker. Southampton. MICHAEL OBAFEMI
