The visitors took the lead after the first ten minutes. The author of the goal was the midfielder Ward-Prowse, who took advantage of a shipment from Djenepo to finish off the left squad. Tottenham reacted and looked for a draw, which was not long in coming. Ryan Sessegnon headed in a Kulusevski cross to balance the score. Antonio Conte’s men became owners of the match as the minutes went by and locked Santos in their field.
The local superiority bore fruit with the 2-1, that came with another stubbornness, in this case by Eric Dier. The Englishman unbalanced the match with a precise shot after a great send by Heung-Min Son. The Spurs were not satisfied and went for the third goal, which did not arrive before the break despite chances from Kane and Ben Davies.

Tottenham took less than a minute to score in the second half, but Sessegnon’s goal, which would have been his brace, was annulled for offside. The lane player himself, who was a dagger down the left side, had another great opportunity to score, but his attempt was cleared by the visiting defense. Southampton were unable to compete with Conte’s men, who sentenced the match at game time. In just two minutes (61′ and 63′), Salisu, an own goal, and Kulusevski, sealed the first victory for Spurs in this Premier League. Perisic came on for Sessegnon in the 66th minute to make his Premier League debut. He also played his first minutes the former Barça player Clement Lenglet, who entered the field in the last stretch of the game to replace Bentancur.
Antonio Conte’s team started the season with good feelings and will face Chelsea next Sunday, August 14.
