London, Dec 28 (BUS): Harry Kane scored for the third consecutive Premier League game and denied him the second goal in the narrowest number of calls found offside in Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with 10-man Southampton on Tuesday. .
Kane converted a penalty kick in the 41st minute after Son Heung-min was fouled by Mohamed Salisu, giving the Southampton defender a second yellow card, according to the Associated Press.
Southampton looked good up to that point, opening the scoring through James Ward-Prowse’s fierce shot from inside the area in the 25th minute, but was stopped in their own half in the second half.
Spurs appeared to take the lead in the 53rd minute when Kane ran Harry Winks’ ball over Southampton’s high line and sent it past Fraser Forster, only to have the goal ruled out for offside after a video review.
The guests were even sadder in the 67th minute when another goal was disallowed, this time after Forrester came out to pick up the ball under pressure from Matt Doherty and landed it on his heel. The ball returned to the net but the referee blew up for a foul by Doherty, although the contact seemed minimal.
Spurs have been unbeaten in the league under Antonio Conte since his appointment at the beginning of November and slipped five points from fourth-placed Arsenal – with two games in hand – in the race to qualify for the Champions League.
Kane had previously scored in back-to-back matches against Liverpool and Crystal Palace, when Tottenham also played against 10 men for long runs after red cards.
