The visitors broke into Hugo Lloris's goal again three minutes later. James Ward-Prowse again packed an assist which was completed perfectly into a goal by Che Adams and put Southampton 3-2 ahead.
Spurs were able to score an equalizer in the injury time period. Steven Bergwijn beat Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster after getting Cristian Romero's header in front of goal.
