22.02this is something we must learn: it's not enough to dominate, we must use our chances. we made a good second half, sticking to the game plan, but in the last 15 minutes we gave it away too easily."

22.01the worst thing would have been to step out of the fa cup and have prowsey out for a long time injured. it's good that it is only a cut, because this is what i was most worried about at the end of the game."

Our report from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 📝
Read through a dramatic cup tie that had everything in north London, with our match report.
21.53FULL TIME: Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 Southampton
Saints will be wondering how they're out of the cup. That was an excellent performance from Ralph Hasenhüttl's men, who deservedly fought back from an early deficit to lead as the game entered its final stages, thanks to goals from Shane Long and Danny Ings. But Lucas Moura levelled things up 12 minutes from time, before Son Heung-Min's 87th-minute penalty secured Spurs a place in the fifth round.
5️⃣ added minutes...
We're into stoppage time. Keep pushing, Saints!

Son scores from the spot
Spurs are back in front. Saints have been the better side, but they've only got two minutes plus stoppage time to extend their run in this season's FA Cup...
GOAL
Heung-Min Son (87’) | 3 – 2
Yellow Card for Angus Gunn (Southampton)
Penalty to Spurs 😩 Gunn brings down Son...
Yellow Card for Ché Adams (Southampton)
The striker goes into the book for a foul on Aurier.
Southampton substitution: Ché Adams replaces Shane Long
Long's race is run, and Adams comes on to replace him.

Alderweireld heads over
Son's corner is met by the former Saints defender, but he can't keep his header down.
Yellow Card for Oriol Romeu (Southampton)
Romeu brings down Lucas with a clumsy challenge.
Lucas levels the scores
That's hard on Saints. Having worked so hard to turn the game around, they've been pegged back, as Lucas Moura finds the bottom corner with a low shot from the edge of the penalty area. Is extra time on the cards?
GOAL
Lucas Rodrigues Moura da Silva (77’) | 2 – 2
WHAT A GOAL!!!
A stunning Saints breakaway! Redmond sets off on a brilliant solo run and feeds Ings, who faces up to Tanganga, cuts inside and places a beautiful low shot just inside the far post, sending the near-6,000 travelling fans into a frenzy!
GOOOAL!!!
Danny Ings (72’) | 1 – 2
Dier's shot deflects wide
Højbjerg gets in the way, but it's a corner to the hosts. Saints defend it comfortably.
Southampton substitution: Stuart Armstrong replaces Sofiane Boufal
This looks likely to be a straight swap on the right side of Saints' midfield, as Armstrong makes his return from injury.

Lloris saves from Vestergaard
Another chance! Bertrand's corner is met by Vestergaard, who connects well but his header is too close to Lloris, who can tip it over his crossbar. Spurs deal with the second corner.
More pressure from Saints 💪
They're keeping Lloris busy in the Spurs goal. The Frenchman twice has to be alert to deal with crosses, as the visitors continue to threaten.
Tottenham Hotspur substitution: Bamidele Alli replaces Tanguy Ndombele
Alli enters the action with half an hour to go.

Yellow Card for Gedson Carvalho Fernandes (Tottenham Hotspur)
Fernandes trips Boufal and goes into the book.
Long goes close to a second
More good play from Saints. Vestergaard's raking diagonal pass is well kept in by Stephens, who delivers a low cross to the near post met by Long, whose shot is clearly deflected behind off Alderweireld, but the decision is goal kick.
Yellow Card for Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (Southampton)
Højbjerg pulls back Moura as he gets away from him in midfield.
Tottenham Hotspur substitution: Gedson Carvalho Fernandes replaces Jan Vertonghen
No surprise to see a tactical switch from Mourinho. His side have been outplayed up to this point.

Moura heads wide
A glorious chance for the hosts. The ball somehow stays in play for Son on the left touchline, before his cross for Lucas looks set to be a certain goal, only for the Brazilian to head wide from six yards. A warning of Spurs' counter-attacking threat.
Boufal shoots wide
Ings's shot is blocked into the path of Boufal, who hits the loose ball first time, but he screws his low side-footed effort wide of the far post. We have to take another one of these chances!
Højbjerg heads over
A sustained spell of pressure ends in a chance for Saints, who have started the second half the way they ended the first. Spurs were pinned back before the skipper headed over from Romeu's cross.
We're back under way!
The second half is up and running and Saints will be looking for more of the same. Apologies for the technical problems we've been experiencing on this site - thank you for your patience. Come on, Saints!
HALF TIME: Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Southampton
It's all square at the interval, but in truth Spurs are lucky to be on level terms. Saints were unfortunate to fall behind when Tanguy Ndombele's off-target shot deflected in off Jack Stephens, but fought back strongly. Danny Ings hit the bar from a chance he would usually score, before Shane Long tucked away the rebound after Hugo Lloris parried Nathan Redmond's shot. Keep it up, lads! 👊
20.37Superb recovery from Bednarek 👏
45+3: The Pole gets back just in time to nip in front of Son, just as the Spurs man is about to pull the trigger in the area.
20.33Redmond fires over
45+2: The winger does brilliantly to turn away from trouble on the edge of the box, but then he rushes his shot on his left foot, and it sails over the top.
20.314️⃣ added minutes...
45: No surprise to see a chunk of stoppage time following the Ward-Prowse injury.
20.30Get well soon, Prowsey! 🤞
It's a sad sight for Saints fans, as James Ward-Prowse goes down in serious discomfort. He has since been replaced in this game, but let's hope his injury is not too serious...
20.28Vestergaard replaces Ward-Prowse
40: Saints are forced into a first-half change. Ward-Prowse is unable to continue - it could be a serious injury - and Vestergaard comes on, shifting Stephens to right-back.
20.25Ward-Prowse goes down injured...
38: The midfielder was caught unintentionally by Sessegnon, and has been down receiving treatment for some time 😨
20.23GOOOAAAALLLL! Shane Long equalises!
34: Saints are deservedly level! Redmond's shot is parried by Lloris, but Long is there to follow up and score a simple equaliser. Get in!
20.19Saints still applying pressure
26: This has been a really encouraging performance from Saints, even if the scoreline says otherwise. Ward-Prowse delivers a corner and gets a second chance to cross, but this time it's easily dealt with by Lloris.
20.12Bertrand forces another save from Lloris
21: Saints are well on top here, but still find themselves behind, as Lloris gets down to parry Bertrand's low shot from distance.
20.06Ings hits the bar 😩
19: A golden chance for Saints! Ward-Prowse sends a glorious through ball in behind the Spurs defence for Ings, who looks set to equalise but sends his shot crashing against the crossbar...
20.05Tottenham take the lead
12: Stephens makes a fine tackle to halt Sessegnon in his tracks, but Ndombele's shot from the loose ball strikes the defender and wrongfoots Gunn to find the back of the net.
20.00Great run from Boufal!
7: The Moroccan trickster gets away down the left and fires a low ball across goal that Lloris needs to tip behind for a corner, with Long charging in at the far post.
19.55Ings tests Lloris!
5: This is an open start to the game. Now Ings goes close, as he plucks a high ball out of the air and steps inside Vertonghen, before his low shot is too close to Lloris. Encouraging signs!
19.53Gunn denies Sessegnon
3: First chance of the game is a Spurs chance, as Son goes down the left and tees up Sessegnon, but his shot is well held by Gunn, diving to his left.
