With backs to the wall, the fightback began. With three wins and a draw in their last four games, it seems Southampton have suddenly worked out the formulae to tackle the London clubs as it lifts them to 12th in the Premier League.

The Saints are proving to be the catalyst in shaping up the top-four race. After their impressive 2-0 win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace, it was the turn of Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham to face the music.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side earned a narrow but a deserved 1-0 victory against Spurs on Wednesday, thanks to a brilliant goal from Danny Ings.

Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier took to social networking site Twitter to express his reaction after the match. He wrote:
