HISTORIC Danny Rose was tripped on the edge of Southampton’s box and Christian Eriksen’s dangerous freekick saw Kane head home from close-range for the historic moment.

Those celebrations threatened to be cut short within 60 seconds.

Sofiane Boufal’s shot was pushed away by Hugo Newcastle vs Man City on Lloris but the Frenchman misjudged Rose’s cushioned header back.

The Tottenham goalkeeper was saved by the post as the ball stayed out and a comical own goal was narrowly averted.

Tottenham haven’t lost a league game in which they scored first since November 2016 and they doubled their lead in the 38th minute.

It was all too easy as a long spell of possession saw Alli free Son and his cross was diverted home by Kane.

Southampton’s Mario Lemina rattled the crossbar, but Alli ensured the contest was all over in the 49th minute, showing quick feet to curl home past Forster.

Then it was the turn of Son to get on the scoresheet, the South Korean collecting Alli’s perfectlyweighted pass to fire beyond Forster after another quick counterattack. Under-pressure Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino is facing calls for his head and his team’s second-half goals were little consolation. Boufal scored in the 64th minute, with Serge Aurier and then Lloris guilty as the Moroccan’s shot squirmed in. — AFP
