Fulham pressing for a second before the break.

Ooof! And they couldn't have come any closer through Bobby De Cordova-Reid's effort.

The winger has a crack from about 25 yards out and hits the top of the bar with Forest keeper Keyler Navas nowhere near as he does his best Superman impression.

Seconds later, Andreas Pereira shoots just wide of the right-hand post.

Martin Odegaard's feet are excellent as he plays a few one-twos with Eddie Nketiah before the latter chips it comfortably into David Raya's arms.

Ben White is heavily involved at the moment and is putting some dangerous crosses in from the right.

The latest falls for Gabriel Martinelli but he skies it!

Oh, Dejan Kulusevski's touch is just a bit too heavy in the box as he tries to control a fierce low cross from Pedro Porro. The heavy touch means he can't get a clean shot off and Victor Kristiansen can slide in to clear.

Brighton playing with fire! Adam Webster passes it back to Moises Caicedo in his own six-yard area and Jean-Philippe Mateta nips in. He should score!

Ironic cheers from the away end as Saints players James Ward-Prowse and Ainsley Maitland-Niles both pick up yellows.

They will be reminding Jarred Gillett exactly what they think about Mario Lemina's red card for the rest of the match.

The ref did seem to be a little hasty.

Anyway... Wolves have more problems as Saints sniff blood. Jan Bednarek has a shot blocked and Wolves clear the corner.

Daniel Levy looks very, very glum in the stands as he watches on. This has been a very Spursy half so far.

Ben White chips it to the back post for Granit Xhaka but Mads Roerslev gets there first to head it behind for a corner.

Pedro Porro isn't having the best of debuts here for Tottenham. He's had Harvey Barnes turning him inside out and made a few questionable attempts to clear.

Marc Richards: Bad few minutes for refereeing in the Saints-Wolves game. 1. Lemina stupid yes, but Gillett should’ve calmed him down and explained why he hadn’t given it. 2. Ait-Nouri’s shirt being pulled by the Southampton player and yet he picks up a yellow for much softer.

After the flurry of excitement, this game has flattened out a bit now.

Tottenham are seeking a foothold back in to it, but Leicester look pretty comfortable.

James Maddison has been booked, though, for getting in the way of a Spurs free-kick. Bit daft.

Almost two!

Aleksandar Mitrovic showed good feet - don't say it - to skip past a Forest defender or two and his low shot requires an intervention from Forest keeper Keylor Navas.

Mitrovic's sharp turn sent the sliding Joe Worrall into Hammersmith.

More great play from Brentford. Christian Norgaard tees up Mathias Jensen but he's leaning back as he fires it over the bar.

Crucial tackle from Adam Webster. Michael Olise slips it through to Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is just a few yards out and is ready to shoot before Webster comes in and nicks it.

Arsenal are probing but Brentford have got everyone back in the box to defend. They clear another cross and Ivan Toney then wins a free-kick in Arsenal's half.

Jack Lovatt: On a scale of one to Spursy, the first half hour has been right up there for Tottenham

A warning sign for Southamtpon.

Pass-master Joao Moutinho shows his quality with an incisive ball down the right, setting away Matheus Cunha.

The on-loan Atletico Madrid forward holds off his marker and lashes a rising shot which whips past the woodwork.

It's close, but not close enough.

James Warren: There is an issue with your website. You’re reporting Southampton as in the lead, which we all know is highly unlikely.
