00:00With life under George Graham when Southampton visited White Hart Lane in the spring of 2000
00:06The glory days were an ever more distant memory for the Lilywhite faithful who'd booed their team off the pitch a week earlier
00:12after a draw with Bradford
00:15In fact Spurs had won just once in seven matches and were without Tim Sherwood
00:19So Stefan Freund partnered Darren Anderton in midfield
00:22Mark Hughes was playing his 50th game for the Saints who were missing Jason Dodd, Kevin Davis and Klaus Lundekvam
00:32With one point from nine Southampton's season was turning into a struggle against relegation
00:38As manager of Southampton Glenn Hoddle was back at the club where he made his name not that he was expecting any favours
00:45Your match commentator is John Champion
00:48If ever there was a day when Tottenham needed a strong home performance
00:52That day is now
00:54So much unrest surrounding the club
00:57A team jeered by the crowd here last week after only drawing 1-1 with Bradford
01:02George Graham needs his team to lift the mood
01:11When these sides met at Verdell in November
01:15It was a very tight game, which was won by Spurs with a late goal from Oyvind Leonardsson
01:20Here's Tessam for Southampton, it's all on the ball
01:29Iverson, Anderton
01:33Now Ginola
01:36Iverson is central, Ginola goes it alone
01:39He's had an outstanding season, whatever the troubles of the team as a whole
01:50David Ginola has been a runaway success here. It's a very good save by Paul Jones
01:59Armstrong, across comes Francis Bernali
02:10Now Leonardsson
02:18Now Leonardsson
02:20And Iverson
02:25Two Norwegians combining
02:27Oyvind Leonardsson making progress down the right and doing very well to whip in a threatening cross from there
02:33And Iverson's header straight at Jones
02:35Jones
02:37Full house of just over 36,000
02:43Healthy traveling support from Southampton
02:48Despite the fact that they've been hovering just above the bottom three since December
02:53Just one point from the last three games and here's Iverson, nice switch. Oh and what a miss by Chris Armstrong
03:01Iverson teed it up for him perfectly
03:07And the only thing you can say in Armstrong's defense is that there were tappers
03:12About to make an impact
03:14But even so
03:16Bernali hadn't got there and he should have scored
03:21That won't improve the feeling inside White Hart Lane
03:24That won't improve the feeling inside White Hart Lane
03:29George Graham won the League Cup in his first season as Spurs manager
03:33And finished 11th in the table
03:35this second season
03:37Sees them currently in ninth place
03:39With 11 games to play including this
03:44Bridge, it's a good run by Wayne Bridge, not such a good shot by Pahars
03:55Right underneath it
03:59Hughes, Tarrico, now Schindler
04:10Third Southampton player was one too many to deal with
04:20Cashelew
04:24Now a chance for Tessum, which he's taken
04:30Joe Tessum scores for Southampton at White Hart Lane
04:38The former Norwegian policeman
04:40Who made his Sainz debut against Spurs in November?
04:43When he was given the task of man marking David Ginola
04:47This time given a freeroll
04:49And hasn't he taken advantage of it?
04:52resounding finish
04:54And Spurs are behind again
05:05And there is an air of revolt around the grandstands surrounding the White Hart Lane pitch
05:13Some defiance from some of the supporters
05:16an air of resignation from others
05:19Yes
05:22But it's early yet not half an hour played, here's Carr
05:30Free kick has been given
05:40Southampton have won just five of their last 35 away matches in the English Premier League
05:47But they lead here
05:50Anderton, that's Chris Marsden's header
05:55Carr, Anderton, Carr, last touch was off Wayne Bridge
06:08Spurs have sent Sol Campbell forward for this
06:13Anderton is going to take it
06:16And
06:20And there is Campbell
06:22And Spurs are level
06:26There's a pat on the back there almost in consolation for Dean Richards
06:30and Campbell himself is
06:32Hardly celebrating wildly
06:35Just wonder who actually got the final touch
06:40There was more momentum in the run back of Dean Richards and
06:43I think it probably flashed in off him
06:46Rather than off Campbell and goes down as an own goal
06:50Whichever it's 1-1
06:54Alan Sugar the Spurs chairman alongside George Graham in the front row of the directors box
07:09Luke Young
07:11And
07:15Spurs do have Les Ferdinand on the bench today. He says himself. He's only 70% fit
07:22Iverson, Armstrong wouldn't gather it in and then Anderton inadvertently with a never done goal
07:42Glenn Hoddle in charge of Southampton for only the sixth time today two wins two defeats one draw since replacing Dave Jones
08:01Actually went down pretty theatrically referee Halsey saw enough to give the free kick
08:12So
08:25On his debut the moroccan tahar el khaled has nodded southampton back in front
08:35It's a super delivery from wide out by marion pahars the latvian
08:41And glenn huddle's first signing marks his debut
08:46With a very important goal potentially
08:49He cost 350 000 pounds from Benfica
08:53And he's made an immediate impact
09:00Just when Spurs thought that they could see an improvement in matters they find themselves behind for a second time
09:12Pahars first time shots held at the second attempt by Ian Walker
09:27Plenty of power
09:30So
09:37Tottenham began the season so well, they won three of their first four games to go top in the middle of august
09:45That's our fairly quickly on the european front with a uefa cup exit against kaiserslautern
09:52And here they find themselves ninth in the table
09:55But with the possibility of a place in the top six tonight if they win
10:0039 points so far
10:04Nine more than southampton, this is ginola
10:08Leonardson and armstrong and anderton
10:16Not pretty but spurs won't care
10:20Darren anderton will always enjoy as a former portsmouth player scoring against southampton
10:26All the more so when as in this case, it's his first goal in just under a year
10:36Right place right time
10:42Two two
10:48Important that anderton produces some good consistent performances
10:53I'm, well aware that there is an england call up
10:58Awaiting him if he can prove first his fitness and second his form
11:04Cash little
11:09Campbell through the legs of the referee mark colson leonardson
11:17Car
11:19Anderton
11:22Iverson anderton
11:28Point got a foot to it. I'm strong found the gap at the near post
11:38And for the first time tottenham have the lead
11:47Beaten
11:49By power as much as anything the goalkeeper
11:53He would have fancied his chances of cutting off that particular angle
11:57Such was the ferocity of the drive that jones
12:00Was well beaten
12:02So
12:19There is les ferdinand spurs will hope that they don't need him
12:32Now iverson, oh my word southampton have pressed the self-destruct button
12:44It was a routine piece of defensive play
12:48Jones clearing the ball
12:52But then southampton didn't retain it and jones was still way out of his goal
12:57bernally culpable
13:00And spurs have scored three in five minutes this latest one a gift
13:10And from a position of strength southampton now find themselves trailing by two
13:20Do you know that
13:23Tottenham supporters a good deal happier now
13:29So
13:36We've had four minutes of stoppage time
13:39And that's deemed sufficient
13:41and to a large north london raw tottenham
13:45Head for the dressing rooms having trailed one nil and two one
13:49three goals in five minutes
13:51They lead four two
13:53Southampton have been compliant in the latter stages of the first half
13:57But you won't find too many topman supporters complaining with a four two half-time advantage
14:06So topman have a platform on which to build
14:09As they seek to lift the doom and gloom that has enveloped the club in recent weeks
14:16They failed to win their last three home matches against sheffield wednesday against chelsea and against bradford
14:24So
14:26Glenn hoddle revered here as a player
14:29Now testing his managerial skills with southampton after his spell as the national coach
14:47Leonardson
14:51Iverson
14:54Oh
14:56Very close to his second
15:01And spurs are picking up in the second half where they left off at the end of the first
15:09Putting their best foot forward
15:15Southampton season developing into another one of struggle 17th last season with just 41 points
15:22And they've just avoided the drop with wins in their last three games of the season
15:27And emerged finally from the bottom three for the first time with just two games to play
15:32Schindler
15:34Armstrong's layoff was intended for anderton
15:37Iverson
15:40Is tessa
15:43Cash law
15:51Strong
15:59Southampton clearly missing half of their first choice defense the steadying influences of dodd and lundegg farm
16:13There's a foul against the german stefan freund
16:22Pahas oh well claimed well held by walker
16:29Awkward as it came at him pretty much
16:33On the half volley bounced just in front of him
16:43Richard's head up bridge
16:51So
17:00Car armstrong, that's a lovely finish
17:10Two for chris armstrong and tottenham who've been struggling so badly for goals this season have bagged five
17:18I
17:20May not put an end to the complaints about the da football being played under george graham
17:25It will certainly quiet a few people down for a week or so
17:31It's not just the fact they've scored a lot of goals it's the manner in which they've scored them, too
17:42Not a good return to whiteout lane for glenn hoddle and john gorman
17:47So
17:59And southampton who led 2-1 not that long ago have shipped four goals in quick succession
18:08Pahas was bowled over by sol campbell
18:17So
18:20Referee mark holsick has awarded the free kick and look who's suddenly taking an interest
18:32Well, it's like something out of american football special teams and all that
18:36Situation is ideally suited to matt. Leticia's unique talents
18:41And here he comes in time to take the free kick
18:48So
18:55Let's face it southampton needs something to lift them and they need it now
19:01It is leticia
19:03Hit the top of the wall
19:06And tariko for a corner
19:08So
19:1331 now that is yet much more often a substitute than a starter these days
19:28And tahar
19:31Picked away by car
19:35Armstrong
19:38Taking on oakley
19:47Well, it was good work by armstrong slightly overwhelmed by supporting players
19:52So
20:07Hughes
20:09Is tessam
20:12And pahas good chance bad miss
20:23Who's to say whether it would have been a route back into the game as a contest for southampton, but
20:27It would have given them a boost at the very least
20:42Right anderton
20:48Armstrong with a nice turn away from finale
20:53Anderson
21:01Hints of champagne football from tottenham
21:05Instead of football they used to play
21:10At least that's the idealistic view of many of their supporters
21:17Armstrong with the hard work the back heel and the blast over the top by anderton
21:23So
21:25Tessam that's wild
21:39Glenn hoddle represents the type of football that spurs fans expect
21:46Everson
21:52Everson
21:55Tariko everson
22:00The scoreline is now being garnished with a tinge of embarrassment for southampton
22:09Tariko joining in from fullback and teeing up stephan everson for his second goal
22:22This bright young thing of norwegian football still only 23
22:27Came here as a teenager
22:29and now
22:30Knocking them in for alan sugar's side
22:37Armstrong
22:44And everson
22:48Snappled by paul jones
22:53So
22:58Well all the tinkering in the world won't help southampton this is tottenham's day no doubt about that now
23:10Free kick
23:15Must be galling for george graham to see the club he left lead united doing so well
23:20At least there are one or two signs of encouragement for him here in spurs performance today
23:25And knowing him he'll be bemoaning the fact they've conceded two there's ginella
23:34And again david ginella and everson has a hat trick
23:40Has a hat trick
23:48And tottenham have scored seven goals in a top division game for the first time since 1968
24:01Burnley their victims then
24:04southampton today
24:06Slightly fortuitous. It was a shot that was half blocks from ginella
24:10And then everson drove it low through the legs of paul jones
24:16Who is beaten for a seventh time
24:24Well, if anything will lift the mood
24:28It's a 7-2 win
24:30armstrong scored twice
24:33Stefan everson was the main attraction with three goals
24:36And this after southampton had led first 1-0 through tessam and then 2-1 through the new moroccan tahar el calais
24:46They set high standards here
24:49But as the spurs go marching in tonight, they do so
24:52With much happier hearts than in recent weeks. It's finished here. Tottenham hotspur seven
24:59southampton two
25:02An amazing turnaround not just on the day
25:05But for tottenham's form in general a week after being booed off the pitch the home side left it as heroes
25:11But spurs inconsistency continued that season and they could only manage 10th place
25:16Luckily for southampton this proved to be the low point and glen hoddle's side comfortably fought off the threat of relegation
