Any concerns among Tottenham fans that Southampton might be a potential banana skin for Ange Postecoglou’s side were rapidly put to bed in a bonkers opening 15 minutes at St Mary’s.
The visitors were ahead inside a minute thanks to James Maddison, before Heung Min Son grabbed a second with just 12 minutes on the clock.
Moments later, it went from bad to worse for Russell Martin’s side, as Dejan Kulusevski added a third amid a chorus of boos from the home fans.
