| Ryan Sessegnon of Tottenham Hotspur scores their side's first goal whilst under pressure from Kyle Walker-Peters of Southampton during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton FC at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on August 06, 2022 in London, England. |
Tottenham came from a
goal down to get their Premier League campaign off to a flying start with a
comfortable home victory against Southampton.
Spurs fell behind in
the 12th minute to James Ward-Prowse's volley, driving the ball into the ground
and watching the bounce beat Hugo Lloris, but Antonio Conte's side's response
was swift and ruthless.
Ryan Sessegnon headed
in his first Premier League goal for the club from an inviting Dejan Kulusevski
cross to draw the hosts level and by the half-hour mark they were in front.
Eric Dier had not
scored in three years but met a whipped Son Heung-min delivery with a low,
flicked header into the far corner.
Tottenham carried that
confidence into the second half and Mohammed Salisu turned Emerson Royal's
cross into his own net, before the impressive Kulusevski grabbed a well-taken
fourth to cap a dominant display.
