Southampton continues its turnaround win over Mourinho’s Tottenham

Danny Ings lone goal became the difference-maker for the home side Southampton playing at home in a sold-out Saint Mary’s venue that saw how their beloved Saints turnaround is for real. 

With a run to perfection reaching four consecutive matches without seeing defeat, the Saints are marching in salvation after a mediocre start and looking like relegation prone, suddenly the Boys form the coast are on fire. 

Ever since the beginning of the match, the locals displayed a dominant attack that paid off dearly in the 17’ minute when Danny Ings netting a pass from Jack Stephens, with a spectacular play and move the man scored what became the winning goal. 

For the Saints in addition of needing one goal these step up their defensive game and seeing their fortunes roll for the better when the tying goal for the Spurs was disallowed when Harry Kane was called for offside. 

In a game that both sides had VAR calls the Saints came off in the first half when the referee thought of an apparent foul of the local’s keeper Alex McCarthy tripping the Spurs player, but the call came off as non-intentional. 

Still, for Jose Mourinho, this match made the man fume over VAR critiquing the people involved, getting a yellow card for spying and accusing a ball boy of delaying the game in the end, as mister controversy we must state is back. 

As for Saints manager Ralph Hassenhutl, the result proved to be an amazing feat and, in every game, these are looking good and positive spirits showing off in his team suddenly staging a turnaround for the better. 

This win situates the Saints in twelve spots tied in points with Everton Toffees as both sides have 25 points, but goal differential keeps them apart, this win puts the Saints away with 5 points clear of relegation. 

However, the turnaround continues for the Marching Saints as the revival continues but with a tough test against high flying Leicester City at King City Stadium, another tough test for Hassenhutl Southampton.  

Happy New Year 2020!
