If you are not currently googling if a team has ever come back from being 5-0 down, you are not a real Spurs fan.

Southampton 0-5 Tottenham
Brennan Johnson is booked for time wasting. Not sure Spurs need to worry about grinding this one out...

Brentford send on Vitaly Janelt for Mikkel Damsgaard.

The posh seats at football matches can be interesting places and, today, both singer Gary Barlow and Chelsea legend-turned-podcaster John Obi Mikel are in attendance.
Chelsea has become a favourite for travelling celebrities in recent years with James Corden, Cara Delavigne, John Cena and Channing Tatum having recently visited.
They are being treated to a quality match between two in-form teams at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea 1-0 Brentford
Image source, ReutersNicolas Jackson misses a sitter. The Chelsea striker is free six yards out from Jadon Sancho's cut-back, the keeper isn't in place but he properly skies it. Enzo Maresca has his head in his hands.

Marc Cucurella is an incredible player. So versatile and can be used in so many different ways.
Matt, Chelsea
Chelsea 1-0 Brentford
Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez has a shot blocked which loops into the air and Nicolas Jackson is flagged offside as he tries to control it.

I really like Russell Martin. I think he’s actually an excellent manager. With the right players he could be amazing. I really hope that he’s given more of a chance. There aren’t enough decent homegrown managers out there.

Russell Martin’s half time team talk: “lads, it’s Tottenham."

Southampton 0-5 Tottenham
Image source, Getty ImagesSouthampton have had some chances today - but that's not really their issue - Adam Armstrong races onto a long ball and shoots wide. He's flagged offside but it was close. Had it gone in VAR might have looked.
Chelsea 1-0 Brentford
It's like a Royal Rumble in the Brentford box as about four players pull each other over as they await a corner.
When the corner is taken Mark Flekken manages to flap it away.

Leicester made a smart move appointing RVN before the likely round of sackings (O'Neil and Martin likely next).

Dejan Kulusevski tries to launch an attack for Tottenham but Southampton get eight defenders back.
Chelsea 1-0 Brentford
Image source, Getty ImagesMostly Chelsea in this half. Noni Madueke had an effort off target and Jadon Sancho couldn't turn home a chance at the far post.

Tottenham's James Maddison fouls Flynn Downes and gets booked.
Southampton 0-5 Tottenham
Saints full-back Ryan Manning goes down in the box. Very half-hearted shouts for a penalty. Not given.

Even at 5-0, I still feel a little “on edge” due to Ange not being the type of manager to sit back and be satisfied with the damage inflicted to Southampton in the first half. I hope that I’m wrong, but I’ve been a Spurs fan for too many years!

Southampton haven't conceded yet.

I feel for Saints, it's not looking good. I know they won the playoffs but their opponents, Leeds, may have been better equipped to compete at this level?

Derek: Any chance Ian at 20.02 could move to Liverpool?!
Southampton 0-5 Tottenham
And the second half is under way.
The ground is half-empty now. Or half-full if you want to be positive.
