    More possession, more territory, but not more goals. Tottenham are edging everything except for the one stat that really matters.

    Harry Kane has not scored in his past 337 minutes of Premier League football now. The Spurs striker, as our graphic shows, is all over the place trying to make things happen. Maybe he needs to lurk more inside the Saints six-yard box (on the right)...

    I've been slightly disappointed actually! 

    I've been here a couple of times this season but I've not watched THIS style of play from the home side at all. Southampton have been protecting what they have got rather than the usual attacking style they have come to adopt. 

    It's been a subservient performance if you ask me.

    Well it started alright... Saints began like a steam train before Spurs slowly applied the brakes.

    In a nutshell? Two shots on target, two goals.

    Time to head downstairs for those queue-beating fans at St Mary's. One minute of stoppage time.

    Paul Charles: You would think when both teams have had a longer break the game would be a slightly higher energy affair. 

    Seven Fields: Lots of possession for Spurs but not creating anything. Not impressive. 

    Räbin: Onion bags are in no way shape or form like that of goal post net. C'mon Man!!!

    And 5 live's Steve Claridge is almost proved right. Victor Wanyama nicks the ball off James Ward-Prowse's toes in the Saints box, skipping and stepovering into space. But his finish hits a Saints defender and the home side clear. Wanyama scoring would would have gone down worse at St Mary's than an undercooked half-time burger.

    Here's half a chance. The ball breaks to Dele Alli about 25 yards out, but he hits Row H instead of the net with a rising drive.

    Spurs pinging the ball around nicely in midfield, Dele Alli and Victor Wanyama at the heart of most of their neat play. However, it keeps breaking down when they try to thread in the killer ball towards Harry Kane.

    Spurs corner. Comes to nothing. Claude Puel stands motionless on the touchline, seemingly gazing into space. It's not that bad...

    Not much going on. Spurs doing all the running, not creating any decent openings though. Only time Fraser Forster has touched the ball with his gloves came when he picked it out of the onion bag.

    Two very good goalkeepers here tonight. Hugo Lloris is certainly up there with the best in Europe. 

    No doubt.

    You know what happened earlier from a Saints setpiece. It doesn't happen this time. James Ward Prowse's delivery is too close to Hugo Lloris and the Spurs keeper punches clear.

    There's not a lot coming back from Saints now. It's as "tempo-less" as I've seen it from them. 

    They look like they are now protecting a draw rather than an advantage.

    Southampton 1-1 Tottenham

    Spurs are clinging to the ball like a kid holding on to their new Christmas present and refusing to share it. The visitors have enjoyed almost 65% of the possession, Christian Eriksen and Kyle Walker both missing the target with wayward shots.
