BBC Sport's Nabil Hassan at St Mary's: "Tottenham's equaliser stunned St Mary's into silence but on the touchline Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino barely raised a smile."

Jay: , externalIt's a good thing Lamela didn't know anything about it otherwise it wouldn't have gone in the net.

Replays of that Erik Lamela goal suggest he got very lucky. The ball hit him on the arm and flew into the net. Saints will be aggrieved but Spurs won't care - they will be level at the break.

Tottenham had just started to up the tempo a bit, and they are level. Their goal is made by an Eric and finished by an Erik - Eric Dier's cross from the right is flicked on by Harry Kane and is met by Erik Lamela, who gets enough on his header to squeeze the ball home via the post.

Tottenham shots have been few and far between so I'd better tell you about this one. Ryan Mason's volley is blocked on the edge of the box but it looked like it was on target. That has to go down as their best effort of the first-half, even if there has not been much competition.

"Southampton have looked solid defensively - they haven't been played through. Spurs are running out of ideas. It's often a long punt to try and get Harry Kane in over the top.

"I'm looking at Nacer Chadli. He'd be one in the Spurs team you would have a question mark over. How much does he care? Does it matter to him?"

Another Saints chance. Ryan Bertrand is the man behind it again, and this time his cross from the right finds Steven Davis in space on the edge of the area. Davis has time to take a touch but goes for a first-time shot that trickles tamely wide.

On Southampton's goal

Chris Baldwin:, external To say that defending was Sunday league is disrespectful to Sunday league. 3 chances to clear. Comedy from Spurs there

Gambeano Snitch:, external Young footballers need to be shown a video of that saints goal to demonstrate everything you shouldn't do when defending

Girl:, external The Southampton goal was hilarious. It was like watching Laurel and Hardy the way Tottenham defended!

After 35 minutes, Tottenham have finally had their first strike at goal... but it wasn't worth the wait.

Nacer Chadli looks up, 25 yards from goal, and blasts his shot about the same distance over the bar.

Saints fans have - predictably - been giving Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino some stick since their team took the lead.

As things stand, Southampton are above Tottenham in the table, and up to fifth place.

We've had our first shot, and our first goal. Here's our first booking too - Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen goes into Jon Moss's book for a late lunge on Saints goalscorer Graziano Pelle.

"Ben Davies tries to fend Graziano Pelle off but us caught one side of the ball, stumbles, and lets Pelle come in. Spurs had five players back against one - it's a really poor goal to give up. I think Southampton have just about deserved it."

What a mess this is from Tottenham's point of view.

Spurs think they have cleared after Sadio Mane's break, but Ryan Mason slips and the ball is played back into the Tottenham area. Again, Ben Davies looks favourite to clear but Graziano Pelle wins the race and prods the ball past Hugo Lloris - who is probably wondering what the heck just happend in front of him.

"Both teams will think they're doing OK and have a got themselves a nice foothold on the game. It's nice and tight, so both teams will think they're in it."

Hannah in London: Let's be honest, us Saints fans would have laughed you out the ground if you'd have said this would be 5th v 6th at the start of the season. Ronald Koeman deserves every bit of RK Day even if it is just to spite Pochettino.

That Morgan Schneiderlin shot came during Saints' best spell of the game so far, but at the same time Tottenham also looked dangerous on the break. Spurs are still yet to test veteran Southampton keeper Kelvin Davis, though.

We've finally had a shot! And a good save too...

A Saints corner is not properly cleared and Morgan Schneiderlin, whom Spurs tried to sign last summer, lets fly with a low shot that Hugo Lloris does well to keep out with a diving save to his left.

Tottenham schemer Christian Eriksen is not having one of his better days so far - his passing accuracy is only 57.1% in the Southampton half, and his attempts to find a team-mate with flicks into the area have all failed to come off.
